Kanye West has offered an apology to the family of George Floyd after saying that Floyd died from fentanyl, and not from the physical force of Minneapolis police officers.
On Friday (October 28), West said he was sorry for these comments while surrounded by paparazzi, per Consequence.
“When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings,” West said. “And I know that police do attack [sic] and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote.”
West went on to say that because adidas ended its business relationship with him, he understands the pain he caused by spreading conspiracy theories about Floyd’s death.
“So when I questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people,” he continued. “I want to apologize. Because God has showed me by what adidas is doing, by what the media is doing, I know what it feels to have a knee on my neck right now.
“So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest Black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off a comment.”

In response to his controversial remarks, Floyd’s family filed a $250 million lawsuit on behalf of Floyd’s daughter, who is the only beneficiary of his estate.
Elsewhere in Friday’s impromptu press conference, West doubled down on his anti-Semitic rhetoric comparing the Holocaust to Planned Parenthood, saying “that the number of Jews killed in Nazi Germany paled in comparison to the number of Black people killed by abortion.”
Adidas is among several corporations that have cut ties with West due to his recent anti-Semitic comments, which reportedly cost him his coveted billionaire status.
Returning to social media following a week of backlash, West shared a text message from his lawyer, Quinn Emanuel, regarding his rights involving adidas and Gap, who he parted ways with back in September.
“As to Adidas, you can start to make new designs for footwear, apparel, and accessories immediately,” the message read. “As to Gap, the non-compete expires December 15, 2022. You own the Yeezy name and all the trademarks associated with Yeezy.”
According to Forbes, his net worth plunged from $1.9 billion to $400 million.
What a POS…using real oppression as he sees fit. Anything that gets him ahead is all he wants. Loser.
Also shout out to Adidas for cutting ties. They also got Beyoncé and FOG signed, they’ll be fine.
UH OH THE NOSE IS MAD… LMAO
Candace Owens was right on the money. Sad to see Kanye give in to the cancel culture mob just to save his career.
Candace Owens saw an opportunity to take advantage of a rich, confused, mentally ill man to offload her husband’s crap social media site (Parler) to. As mentioned above, Kanye is using real tragedy (the Holocaust, George Floyd,) to try to frame himself as the victim. He’s a loudmouth narcissist who isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is (remind you of anyone else?) who continues to dig a deeper hole by not being wise enough to close his mouth. What’s funny to me is all the people (like yourself) who continue to put a cape on for him, talking about, “He’s telling the truth,” or “He’s doing this on purpose to set himself up for his next business move.” Kanye is in a downward spiral, and unfortunately his fame has enough people willing to go on that ride with him. At the end of it all, much like Trump supporters, I assume (hope) everyone who supported this shitshow will be completely embarrassed.
Accurate af
bro you are mildly retarded best case
Candace Owens is never on the money….. Kanye is a sheep who was led about by the nose by her…..and he is supposed to be a great genius and free thinker.
Did you or anyone else on these comments actually watch the candace owens docutmentry ? Or are you just following the narrative ? You ingest multiple fentynal pills to hide them from the cops, you pretty much arrange your own funeral. And as far as BLM, go watch the documentry and learn where the 80 million went. It didnt go to any community.
It’s obvious you watch fox News. Shut your dumbass up
Naw n****, you can’t just act like nothing happened and beg for forgiveness and hope everyone forgives you. Don’t work like that, homie. Every action has consequences, and this is the end result. I’ve done and said some dumb shit myself but I learned from those experiences. He doesn’t he just keeps repeating the cycle with this BS. He really needs someone genuine to sit down with him and give him guidance and help help cuz otherwise he’s going to lose everything from his wealth, health, and the rest of his mind.
He needs a whole lot of prayer and mental health building. He does understand the loose of millions, which I believe is the only reason for his sudden change of heart. Freedom of speech is right, but you shouldn’t slander without proven facts.
“Free speech means the free and public expression of opinions without censorship, interference, or restraint by the GOVERNMENT”. A common misconception about the first amendment is that it allows us to speak and/or write freely and without censorship or consequence from private, non-governmental entities.
hes only sorry cuz he lost 2 billion smh
He’s lost it. He’s too far gone for anyone to save. He just needs to fade into obscurity and learn to be humble and restructure/reeducated himself so he can learn how to be respectful person.
Never to late for God to save as long as u breathing there is always hope!
Lol, it seems that Kanye had that ”GOD” enough already, that’s one of the reasons, why he is batshit crazy.
It’s never too late to turn away from fairytales. As long as u breathing there’s always hope.
He’s still ten thousand times richer than most working people. But he feels the loss I’m sure. He’ll bounce back some day. Mental illness is root problem.
Ego, not mental health, is the root to Ye’s problems. Stop with the excuses. He knew exactly what he was doing and saying. Once the money started to be taken from him, his sanity returned…gtfoh.

Oh so all of a sudden Ye is sorry??? We already knew this was going to happen😉 Now I will have to think about it, but will still pray that Ye gets the help he needs, & learn to be humble & thoughtful. Because Ye will fo it again😉 Just wait & see
This is narcissism in its purest form. He only measures everything and everyone in money and is about to say EVERYTHING to get more money.
God is his answer to everything and a way to escape from such a mess, but his real motivation is money.
He is pretty far away from self reflection.

And the small hats get paid off off alla that…
I’m at Psych Nurse and I would like to see Kanye get the necessary help that his Mother Ms. Donda would liked Him to have. Mr. Kanye you need to know that You are Loved and there is HELP out there that can help you get on with Your Best
Leave it to Kanye to play the victim.

The small hats have been kicked out of 109 countries so far. Last county to do it was Germany. Let’s say i was kicked out of 109 bars… At some point i sure as hell would start thinking maybe it’s not the bartender’s fault every single time, that maybe i did something wrong, maybe it was my behavior..

Wow now you’re backing down after losing money?? People are gonna believe he’s fake now
Did he really say, “I know what it feels like to have a knee on my neck…”? Lmao, this fucking guy.
What’s done is done , what’s said has been said. However Ye does not care about the money he has lost. Ye was given several chances to apologize, he refused. Per Ye’s lawyer, Addidas has given to go head to continue designing as of this month.So what’s being promoted through media is not actually going on. Ye is not humbled, Yeezy shoes are trading off the hilt on other online venues. Many see Ye as a Truth Bearer. Take Heed
I’m still not turning my back on Kanye. We all know he’s crazy. Enjoy the good parts while he’s here.

He really compared himself to George Floyd and said he knows how George Floyd felt??? WTF
George Floyd was murdered by a racist white cop. Kanye lost all his business deals by spewing racist shit against Jewish people.
Silly me for expecting a genuine apology from Kanye West. Narcissist in every sense of the word.
That ass broke now he want to apologies, really just another sell out ass nigrow, now you want to come nah, white live matter how funny
