Kanye West has addressed his recent anti-Semitic statements in a new interview, this time, however, explaining how he is jealous of Jewish culture.
The description uploaded with his latest interview says Ye was invited to appear on Piers Morgan Uncensored specifically to discuss the inflammatory statements he’s made of late, including his assertion that George Floyd died of an overdose.
About halfway through the heated exchange, Kanye West said that he wanted to “hug every Jewish person,” and explained that he was jealous of several aspects he associates with Jewish culture.
“I’m envious of how they don’t abort their children,” he offered. “I’m envious of how they don’t shoot each other in the streets and then rap about it. I’m envious of how their families stay together. I’m envious that they turn their phones off on Friday nights and the family comes together. I’m envious of how they do business together. And I want that for the darker Jews, I want that for Black people. We need that.”
The statements echoed similar remarks made on his controversial second appearance on Drink Champs, which has since been deleted from REVOLT and all streaming platforms.
During his conversation with Piers Morgan, Kanye West also said he believes that he should be more conscious of the ways in which he expresses his opinions.
“I feel that my words demand more sensitivity for the frequency that I’m operating at and the amount of people that I’m communicating to,” Ye said. “And I take that responsibility right now.”
Still, he went on to say that if his opinions had been shared with more sensitivity, it would not have created space for the dialogue he’s been having of late. He added that these conversations have given him the opportunity to prove why “the left” should support him in a future political bid, while stating that he was not at liberty to say whether he’d be running for office.
The “Power” rapper did, however, implore people in the U.S. and the U.K. to support whomever each country’s respective next leader is, as he believes public criticism undermines any political leader. He also took credit for the disdain various celebrities openly showed former U.S. president Donald Trump.
“When I hear people like John Legend and Chrissy Tiegen talk down on the president, I’m like, ‘Wow, that kinda sounds like me. That kinda sounds like the telethon.’,” West said. “I opened up this level of disrespect towards our leaders. And the left saw that and said, ‘Well let’s just have every celebrity do what Ye did at the telethon. So I take responsibility for that moment.”
While Kanye West is no stranger to receiving backlash as a result of his polarizing opinions, his latest round of controversial statements seem to have been the most impactful to date. In recent weeks his Instagram account has been suspended and his Twitter account is locked for making anti-Semitic posts while texting Diddy.
Following the sanctions, conservative social media platform Parler announced that Ye had agreed to purchase the company run by pundit Candace Owens’ husband George Farmer.
Meanwhile, Kanye West’s appearance on Drink Champs has led to a $250 million lawsuit from George Floyd’s family and the end of his partnership with Balenciaga.
Ye sold at least a million stem players the first day it had donda 2 on it. Taylor swift bought at least 700k of her latest album just to keep her flop album afloat where it only sold 300-400k for the week
And both albums were made by whiny b!tches…
Ya need Jesus in your life. Either that or stick to eating Hamburger Helper you clown.
HH is delicious, IDC what you say.
I get it: African-americans have been stripped from their african culture and history. But still… I’ve never seen a community so lost and fucked up in their heads. From NOI to the so called black hebrews… Africans must laugh so hard from their homeland when they see what’s going on with African-americans. SMH
Oh believe me. Many Africans dont really dig African-Americans.
You are correct B. African Americans/Blacks are the new white, orange is the new black, therefore we love orange ppl now.
Thats capucino . Africans love african americans.
Another troll with a shit take. You’re either non-black and stupid or a black that doesn’t know any better. You can sit with Ye and suck that MAGA pipe i think the culture is better off without y’all
Thank you for proving my point dumb fuck. I was actually saying: Kanye like any african-american is lost and brainwashed as fvck. He identifies with Trump, than ties with NOI, now he calls black people the black hebrews. How much fucked up he must be to drift from one belief to another like that? And I’ve seen this mentality with many african-americans. Yall just a bunch of fuckin sellouts for real. Is this more clear for you now? Stupid fvck.
This is sounding more and more like a ye preparing for another terrible presidential run.
He said this on drink champs too. More people would know this if they left that shit up.
This man needs to be 5150’d asap
Ye has become YEric Cartman LMAO!!!!
Screw you guys, I’m going home!
At this time this website should boycott him as well
All valid points. Whats funny is he is poking fun at things that are embraced by the people who get triggered.
would someone please hotshot this pill popping pig person ffs
Jealousy and envy are two different things.
This man really thinks he’s the reason that people are outspoken against political leaders…He really will take anything and center it around himself. Also if he wants to change things in the black community, why not invest in our communities and try to build bridges instead of vomiting up conservative talking points that look down on us? He isn’t trying to change/fix anything he’s trying to prop himself up and get bonus points with right-wingers. That’s why he talks more than he acts. Remember when he was building a factory in Chicago? Or what about the affordable housing he was making? He said years ago he just needed the money to see his ideas through. Now he has it and all we get is bs talk and judgment from a man that doesn’t even know who he is anymore.
He is ridiculous. Black Americans are not Jews, “Native Americans”, freaking Olmec. WEST Africa.
This clown is also not responsible for people speaking up politically. I am going to have to block him and his family off my internet. Tired of hearing him and them speak on anything.
