Ryan Reynolds responds to Kanye West's claim that Deadpool 2 ripped off his music

  • 13/06/2018

Ryan Reynolds has blessed the Twitter-sphere with another witty retort - this time firing back at one of the social media platform's most notorious users.

Kanye West tweeted his love of the Deadpool movie franchise - before claiming some of the songs on the film's soundtrack bear a resemblance to his own sound.

"I love both Deadpool movies...I heard tracks in it that sound similar to mine," the rapper wrote.

Then, seemingly addressing the film's star, Reynolds, he added: "Bro, I would have cleared my music for Deadpool."

Reynolds addressed the tweet within the hour, writing simply, "Agree. I'm having a word with Celine Dion."

Canadian songstress Celine Dion released an original track called 'Ashes' for the Deadpool sequel - but it seems unlikely hers is the sound West is referring to.

The 'Gold Digger' rapper also professed his admiration for the blockbuster movies - and issued a plea to be included on the soundtrack next time.

"Your guys writing and approach is so innovative," he wrote.

"I love how you guys break the fourth wall…thank you for being innovative and please know I'm down to clear next time."

West's new album Ye is currently at number one on the Billboard album charts, while the Deadpool 2 soundtrack is sitting in 89th place.

However, considering the film has brought in over US$657 million at the box office so far, the Deadpool team probably aren't too worried.
