Kanye West has evidently offended T.I. with the comments he made about famous abolitionist Harriet Tubman during his first campaign rally in South Carolina on Sunday (July 19).
In a recent Instagram post, Mr. Trouble Man shared two photos of Ms. Tubman and was adamant the 2020 presidential hopeful took his comments to an unnecessary level.
“Nahhhh WE Can’t let you do that Ye,” he wrote in the caption. “What WE NOT gon do is slander nor disrespect the legacy of our heroic Queen Harriet Tubman by telling falsities in an attempt to discredit the contributions she made to LIBERATE OUR PEOPLE!! Cuzz U BUGGIN!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TOO FAR.”
Unlike some people on Twitter, Tip recognized Ye’s troubling speech could simply be a cry for help. After all, his own family is reportedly concerned he’s in the middle of an intense bipolar episode.
“I truly hope you either have a logical explanation for all this… or get the medical attention you so desperately need Bro,” he concluded. “I say this with love and sincerity.”
During the rally, Kanye tearfully confessed he almost “killed” his daughter North when he first learned his now-wife Kim Kardashian was pregnant. Rather than have the child, he wanted her to abort. He also said Tubman “never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other White people.”
The Only One Who Can Help Kanye Is Kanye
Following the South Carolina spectacle, Ye failed to get on the ballot after all. On Monday (July 20), TMZ reported Director of Public Information for the South Carolina State Election Commission Chris Whitmore said Kanye’s campaign somehow missed the deadline to get on the November ballot.
Kanye, who’s running as part of “The Birthday Party,” needed 10,000 signatures as a petition candidate, but the State Election Commission reportedly didn’t hear from Ye or his campaign and never received any traditional or digital signatures.
The Chicago-bred Hip Hop billionaire announced his intention to run in the 2020 election on the Fourth of July.
Kanye is finished. It does look like a cry for help. Someone please help Mr. West.
Yea,U hit the Nail rite on the Head. Ye is Supremely in Need of Help. And btw, sometimes we need to pull our coat-tails when fuckin up. TI digging in Kanye’s Ass actually came from a loving place believe it or not. And it needed to b public.
He provided a logical explanation. He is claiming black ppl are still enslaved today as white ppl continue to hold all the power. So the point isnt that she didnt do the work of freeing the slaves from the south or that she intended to do any wrong when she freed them. The point is that in freeing the slaves she unknowingly led them to a different kind of white person who would continue to take advantage through the illusion of freedom. Do I agree with Ye? Not really. But it isn’t as crazy as the headline/soundbite makes it sound.
In the rant he connects this with “there are no black people on the board of adidas, gap, universal music” and so on. That’s where I get my long ass paragraph explaining his statement. He also said all the black athletes and entertainers are working for white people behind the scenes, and that we have no idea what they are doing behind closed doors.
Do you remember when Kanye said slavery was a choice and everyone got really mad at Kanye?
Harriet Tubman said the SAME THING as Kanye:
“I Could Have Freed a Thousand More Slaves If They Knew They Were Slaves” -Harriet Tubman
So… this lil dude went from being a generic lameass wacker to being a hall monitor? Guess he is police affiliated
