The one who wants the footage destroyed is an attorney, at least that's how I understand it.
That article is confusing af

they tried to shorten it in the report but in the full interview it gives a lot more depth, I copied and pasted all of it:
This past winter, the spasmodic feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift jerked back to life with the release of West’s track “Famous” off his latest album The Life of Pablo."I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex,” raps West in his first verse. “Why? I made that bitch famous.”
For this story, Kim Kardashian West (who first established herself as a ride or die marital partner in 2013 when she appeared topless, straddling a motorcycle–and Kanye—in the music video for his song “Bound 2”) spoke to GQ about the ensuing saga. First, some context: In the wake of the criticism tsunami that followed Kanye’s “Famous” name-check, Yeezy took to Twitter to explain that Swift had given him approval to reference her in the song. There was a phone call and she signed off, Kanye swore.
Swift’s camp rejected his version of the conversation, and stated that Taylor hadn’t heard the song or the lyric before its release to the public. (A day after The Life of Pablo came out, Swift would win the Grammy for Album of the Year for 1989, and one section of her acceptance speech was widely interpreted as a dig at Kanye.) In her living room months later, Kim—clad, appropriately, in gray YEEZUS official tour merch sweatpants—denied the denial.
Kim says Taylor's deep emotional wound is nonsense—okay, she says it's a lie—and that there's video proof, because a videographer was actually filming their phone call. Why? Because Kim's husband commissions videographers to film everything when he's recording an album, for posterity (and possibly, one day, a documentary). And this is where it gets sticky.
“She totally approved that,” Kim says, shaking her head in annoyance. “She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't. I swear, my husband gets so much **** for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.” Kim is on a roll now, speaking faster and more animatedly than at any other point during our time together. “What rapper would call a girl that he was rapping a line about to get approval?”
Swift, Kim insists, “totally gave the okay. Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. I mean, he's called me a bitch in his songs. That's just, like, what they say. I never once think, [gasping] ‘What a derogatory word! How dare he?’ Not in a million years. I don't know why she just, you know, flipped all of a sudden.… It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, ‘When I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I'm so against this, and I'll just laugh and say, ‘The joke's on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’ And I'm like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again.”
Contacted separately, Kanye West’s reps backed up Kim’s claims, asserting to GQ that Kanye and Taylor’s conversation had been filmed and that they had heard from Swift’s lawyers. However, they declined to provide further proof of video footage or a threat of legal action.
A spokesperson for Taylor Swift declined to directly answer GQ’s questions but did provide a statement (which you can read in full in the profile) that vehemently denies everything and ends, “…Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone.”

Taylor's spokeperson full message to Kim:
“Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West. However, that does not change the fact that much of what Kim is saying is incorrect. Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since. Taylor has never denied that conversation took place. It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do. Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term ‘that bitch’ in referencing her. A song cannot be approved if it was never heard. Kanye West never played the song for Taylor Swift. Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated. Kim Kardashian's claim that Taylor and her team were aware of being recorded is not true, and Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone.”
