The woman who was accosted by Kanye West at his presidential rally in South Carolina is giving some more clarity to the situation – and it’s not pretty.
On Sunday (July 19), video circulated of the presidential hopeful yelling at a Black woman in the crowd. The woman, whose name is Iesha, explained it started after she asked a question about Ye’s plans for gun reform – and it was all downhill from there.
“Hey y’all it’s Iesha, the girl who was getting yelled at by Kanye at the Donald Trump [cough] I mean Kanye West rally today in North Charleston,” she begins in a clip uploaded to Twitter. “He allowed people to come on stage to ask questions. I was one of those people selected. We went up there. He let numerous people go before me and at the last five minutes, he allowed me to ask my question on gun reform in which he did not answer. He just spewed out random facts and bragged about himself.”
The video includes a clip of her question to Kanye and a portion of his response, which focuses on the fact he’s allowed to shoot guns at his ranch in Wyoming.
“Aisha’s comment is on gun violence in the United States,” Ye tells the crowd after Iesha spoke. “I live on a 4,000 acre ranch and I can shoot AR-15’s all day, day, day, day – facts – without going to jail and it feels weird because I grew up in Chicago.”
After The Tears & Harriet Tubman Rant, Kanye West Didn't Make The South Carolina Ballot
From there, Iesha says Ye got irritated because she kept correcting the misinformation he was spewing.
“Then after that, he started to go on a rant and he started saying very incorrect facts to his crowd and I kept interrupting him and shouting over him the correct facts because he has a large platform and he shouldn’t be saying incorrect things to people who look up to him,” she explained. “And then he stopped, put the spotlight on me and then he interrogated me in front of everyone for interrupting him even though five minutes earlier a white girl did the same thing and he called her on stage, gave her a hug and everything.”
That’s when he kicked Iesha off the stage and the moment from the viral clip occurred.
“And basically once he kicked me off stage after that, he then called me a ‘Sister Solider’ and then he continued to say I wanted ‘Wakanda’ not America and he kind of just talked badly about black women,” she added. “So please don’t vote for Kanye West because he’s just not qualified y’all. He just ain’t it.”
Despite all the antics, Ye reportedly didn’t make the ballot in South Carolina anyway. TMZ spoke with Chris Whitmore, the Director of Public Information for the South Carolina State Election Commission, who said the Yeezus rapper missed Monday’s (July 20) deadline to get on the November 2020 ballot.
Ye has also received a ton of backlash from the rally, including from his peers T.I. and 50 Cent. The latter feels JAY-Z is responsible for the events that transpired, though he didn’t explain why.

Black woman repeats all the Democrat talking points how “guns are bad” and completely ignores the fact that gun violence is highest in those Democrat controlled cities and states that have the most gun restrictions which leads to only criminals having guns and normal people being without the protection that guns would bring.
Then said black woman disrespects Kanye by yelling and not letting Kanye speak and now complains about Kanye on social media since Kanye did not let the woman control the event and the narrative.
She asked for his take on gun reform lol. She never said anything about guns being bad whitey. He was talking down to her cause she called him on his BS and he didn’t like it. Also, your Democrat cities talking point is BS. There will always be higher crime in more densely populated areas. Miami is ran by a Republican Mayor and it has high rate of gun violence. You are spewing right wing talking points whitey.
You mean like how you of ignore the fact that the OVERWHELMING NUMBER of mass shooters…which we have literally THOUSANDS, are white males…and it ain’t even close. Not only are they white males…but they also just happen to be “law abiding”…or as you would call them “normal”. Well…that is “law abiding”… until they decided to randomly kill a bunch of people.
If you’re going to tell the story “whitey”…tell the WHOLE story. There’s enough gun violence black, and white, to go around.
I’ll vote Kanye in 2024.
Why ??
Well … although Wakanda is fictional … it’s is supposed to be in Africa … buy a ticket … and please don’t come back … we don’t have time for your hypocritical divisive race hating bs
In Kanye’s Forbes interview, he said he wanted to make America Wakanda himself lol. She said nothing about making America Wakanda and it was disrespectful to call her Sister Soulja cause she challenged his positions. She only asked a policy question and was mistreated. If anything you are being a POS by subtly stating she should go back to Africa.
I think the issue here is, Ye didn’t want to deliver a direct response to her question that would deem his overall campaign message unpalatable for people of other races. The talk of gun culture or inner city killings tends to ruffle feathers and invoke feelings of Democrat sentiments among certain sections of his target audience hence, he did all he could to downplay it. It’s been frequently used in BLM campaigns hence his reaction shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, he is a candidate aspiring to secure a Republican ticket to the oval office.
He isn’t inspiring to secure a Republican ticket. He is trying to run as an independent. Also, if he wants to be the President of ALL AMERICANS he should have to hear what they have to say regardless if their beliefs don’t align with his. Also, you statement about gun violence is inaccurate. You don’t have to repub, dem or whatever to advocate for gun reform. Although he was spewing Dem policies during his rant. He literally advocated for more welfare for women, which is a quote unquote a Democrat policy according to his Sista Candace Owen. So please stop it.
Ye is disgustng same as his supremacist fuhrer trump
People are people
This young man clearly wants attention
He seems to be missing the opportunity to be a real leader. Very very disconnected from the real issues society facing.
Very sad ?
Was interested hearing her grievance up until this point :
“he interrogated me in front of everyone for interrupting him even though five minutes earlier a white girl did the same thing and he called her on stage, gave her a hug and everything.”
Why does every action have to be perceived in terms of race? I’m African and i can’t help but notice how unhealthy that is. If this is how most black people in America think then it’s really sad.
Damn, you’re damn stupid. seriously. If you are “african” and don’t see why things here get perceived in terms of race, then you need to do just as much learning as Kanye does.
It sad you had to result to insults to convey your point. I don’t claim to know alot about American history, so it’s why i refrained from giving any thoughtless advice or whatever. I’m simply just giving my observation from an outside perspective,and that’s something that’s indispensable if you really want to get a full scope of something. You could claim to be on the “Frontline” and all that, but can’t deny the fact that some(if not many) of the things you perceive would always be skewed by sentiments. It doesn’t matter if the cause is a credible one. And believe me, that’s all it takes to undermine what ever good you hope to achieve. I’ve been following of the BLM activities and I’ve observed alot of things that are disingenuous and anarchistic. And barely anyone is saying or doing much about it. Nick Canon made racist statements and got justly fired, only to be hired by diddy instead of being publicly rebuked. But hey! He’s just helping a Black Brotha. Keep on subscribing to double standards and see where that takes ya. For your info I’m Nigerian by the way, and believe me,most of y’all black folks Post-Martin Luther barely know anything about police brutality. Come over here if you wanna see what it’s like.
Go back to Africa and fix y’alls problems, the poverty, the no schools, the corruption…the hunger, the no healthcare , the lack of hospitals ….no technology…living on dirt floors…no running water, no plumbing. Please shut up and sit down Africa chile!!!
Grievance? Lol. She is pointing out that her treatment was different from another person who was doing the exact same thing she was doing while talking to Kanye. If anything Kanye made it a black thing by calling her Sista Soulja and saying she wanted America to be Wakanda. It’s a black and white world playa there isn’t any grey. So every action must be viewed from a racial lense. It’s what the forefathers of white people In America created. Come live in America and see if they see you as just African. You’ll just be another black person in America.
Shut the fuck up and stop simping you raggedy ass no money having no pussy getting ass bitch
Because this is AMERICA. You forgot where you at. Apparently you’re living in America…without knowing the HISTORY of America. And my African brother, if you have to ask the question…you’re far too uneducated to comprehend the answer.
He so damn ignorant. Too dumb to see that the Kardashians didn’t make him white just a slave. Wait until his kids get older and figure out that their black The devil got him thinking that he has paid to be white. He’d do better painting his face. Only a fool would vote for a crazy man anyway. Oh that’s right it has been done before aka Trump. Now get mad white people and vote for him. But you better remember Kim loves a black man. So you can come on here talking stupid if you want. But I’ve got plenty for your stalking ass.
He doesn’t have a Clue about What going on in the World he need to Stay with Makeing Music and Stop making a fool of himself He Need to go See his Doctor and Be father to his Beautiful Family And Never Forget Who he is just Look in the Mirror Stop Disrespecting Black Women’s He is Just So Sad I Feel so Bad for Him When u have Everything and Really u have Nothing
Haven’t ya’ll learned that being famous doesn’t qualify you to run for elected office? Black celebrities, athletes, musicians etc ARE NOT leaders. They are co-opted by white mainstream society in general and white controlled corporations in particular. Kanye lost his mind when his momma died. He lost his soul when he married a Kardashian.
He needs to stay home and stop trying to do his BFF dirty work. We all know this is a distraction for voters. Shame on him to put down a beautiful smart black young lady the way he did it shows his own Low self-worth. But I also see this as cruel to him because of his mental status. Go home stay home K. I would never vote for a man that sees his own as the second choice…
That’s 100% her fault for investing any portion of her day seriously considering that fool for any national office.
Will you nailed it!
I LOVE ALL OF TGESE MORONS COMMENTING ON HOW IRRELEVANT AND OUT OF TOUCH YÉ IS. LOL. What’s your net worth at? Dude dropped out of college and is now worth over a billion dollars with 20+ Grammys. Maybe just STFU and let this mentally challenged genius play politics. Losers! HE REALIZES BLACK PEOPLE HAVE VOTED THE SAME AND THOUGHT TGE SAME FOR 50 YEARS. that’s worked out great, right? I am a democrat FYI, and find this all amusing.
U must be white huh
Does it matter what color? It seems you might be stuck on color.
We clearly can see this man has mental issue that seems to be one of the qualifications of running for president these days ?
Kanye should stop talking nonsenses and stay with his family. If he keep up his rambling, I suggest he see a mental disorder doctors.
It’s interesting to watch Kanye’s efforts. It’s painful also.Knowing that his mood swings will propel him further down the rabbit hole. Mental illness is ubiquitous in America..I hope someone he trust can influence him to seek treatment.
