NEW YORK, March 3 (UPI) -- Chrissy Teigen doesn't think Kanye West's feud with Taylor Swift is over yet.

The 30-year-old model addressed the 38-year-old rapper's beef with Swift on Wednesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live, admitting she and husband John Legend were uncomfortable when Swift dissed West at the 2016 Grammys.

"It's so hard when you're put in the middle like that," Teigen, who is friends with both West and Swift, said. "It's tough ... It's so awkward. It's an uncomfortable moment. John and I were both uncomfortable by it."

"Well, I'll tell you it's not over. This is going to go on. This is being waged," she added before telling host Andy Cohen she predicts the conflict will continue.

West's feud with Swift dates back to 2009 when the rapper interrupted the 26-year-old singer's speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. West referenced the incident in a new song, claiming he "made" Swift famous, and the singer shot back at the Grammys in February.

"As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there: there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame," Swift said.

West, who is well known for his Twitter rants and public outbursts, made headlines this week for his feud with the DJ deadmau5. The rapper recently had a meltdown prior to his Saturday Night Live performance where he claimed to be more influential than the apostle Paul.

Teigen and Legend married in 2013 and are expecting their first child by the summer. The model, who co-hosts Spike TV series Lip Sync Battle, revealed she chose to have a daughter during her IVF treatments in an interview last week.
