After hearing the lyrics, Taylor's sibling Austin, 23, was furious at the misogynistic content of the track, and took to Instagram for a very public protest.
In the video, he can be seen throwing a pair of $950 Moonrock Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers into the trash with the caption: 'Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again.'
The video showes Austin carrying a trash can while whistling the Colonel Bogey March.
He places the trash receptacle down and then pulls a pair of Moonrocks off a shelf and tosses them into the trash.

In the controversial new track from his new album, which deputed at his listening party and fashion show in New York on Thursday, Kanye raps: 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.
'I made that b*tch famous.'
Despite claims that Kanye sought Taylor's blessing before releasing the song, the singer's rep vehemently denied she gave him her approval.
Her spokesman said that Kanye actually called to ask Taylor to release his single on her own Twitter account.
'Kanye did not call for approval. But to ask Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account,' her spokesman said. 'She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, "I made that b*tch famous."'
