Kanye West is in a remorseful mood. Somewhat.
The controversial MC has been under fire and brimstone after making racially and culturally insensitive remarks that have offended many – most especially the Black and Jewish communities.
As reported, the furor surrounding the latter – which saw West express a desire to go “Defcon 3” on Jewish people he had fallen out with – has seen the embattled star dropped by a growing list of corporations.
Indeed, Adidas, CAA, GAP, Balenciaga, and many more have severed ties with West. Moves that have collectively torpedoed his net worth. For, once deemed a billionaire, Ye’s status as such was no longer a reality in a mere matter of days.
Now, after seemingly issuing a polarizing “apology” to the Jewish community, West is addressing the backlash from the Black community. Specifically, the anger that trailed his claims that Black Lives Matter was a “scam” and his utterance that unarmed Black man George Floyd died from Fentanyl – rather than the knee that rested on his neck for nine minutes and led to former police officer Derek Chauvin being convicted of his murder.
In trademark form, his words on the matter aren’t without issue and many have taken umbrage with the angle his seeming apology stems from.
See what we mean below…
Speaking at an impromptu “press conference,” here’s what West had to say about the backlash from the Black community:
“I am being humbled right now. By me being burned to the flesh, it’s actually proving what I had to say. When I went to the mediation, they said ‘Piers Morgan got you to apologize to the Jewish community but you never apologized to us about the George Floyd comment that made us feel bad.
JFK. They’ve got a lot of documentaries about how it happened. So, we can argue about how it happened. I like the fact that we can do that. When I see that video as a Black person. When I see that video [George Floyd], as a Black person, it hurts my feelings. And I know that America is generally racist. I understand that when we say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a person. As a people. Afterward, there were some things about where the money went. It was used to push us toward the Democratic vote. But the initial feeling was [pure].”
Continuing he said:
“When I said what I said about George Floyd, it hurt my people. Black people. So, I want to apologize for hurting them. Because, right now, God has shown me – by what Adidas is doing and by what the media is doing – I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck.
Thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it feels. Otherwise, how can the richest Black man ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off of one comment.”
Much like his appearance on Piers Morgan’s show, the rapper went on to somehow justify his antisemitic remarks amidst his apology by adding:
“If you look at the definition of Defcon, it means to get extra defense…which obviously I must have needed.”
With that, what are…
I’m not reading that! Kanye is off his rocker! Do us all a favor and get on a mental health treatment plan!
Then he got a mental health treatment plan and apologized while Black on black crime is through the roof.
SCREAMING! 🤣 He kills me lmaooooooooo! 😂 Love you, Kanye!!!! Keep your head up!!!!!! We got you! ❤️
He needs to be plucked off the earth and put elsewhere
I thought you liked “truth,” judging by your username… Stay living in your bubble of bs.
Some people on here were supporting him, where are they now?? They cant say anything other than posting emoji’s lol. Most whites xcept me pretended to support him knowing what he was saying was wrong, im sure they are happy now that he’s no longer a billionaire
This quite TRUE!
White people lost money to. Whites were expecting billions off the deal to
Nobody is happy Adidas and Balenciaga is losing all that money too
True. They love seeing other races lose SOO BAD!!
White ppl gave Kanye the billion dollar deal
How dare you say that.
GOLD DIGGER
He is jealous of anyone who is more successful or smarter than him and therefore he does everything he can to create a reason for himself to hate them.
KKKanye is autistic
Who is smarter and more successful than Kanye in music.. he is
Drake
Once again Kayne cannot commit to anything. He backtracks, he flip flops.
We don’t need his apologies. We need him to STOP speakin’ until he’s in control of his emotions, thoughts, beliefs, etc.
Kayne is clearly bitter and on a rampage because he’s hurt NOT because he’s here for his so called ppl.
He didn’t really apologise as he doubled down about WHY he said what he said. And I love him for that. It’s the truth and nothing but the truth. Put THAT in your “true tea.” You’re as blind as a bat but then so is most of the world. Don’t hate on people like me and Kanye for being INTELLIGENT enough to see things for what they are.
You are so INTELLIGENT that your only goal in life is to comment on every post in this blog. 🤣
Yup 💯
I am here to spread my intellect. You’re very welcome 💐
You LOVE him because he says what “you” wanna hear. That’s ALL it takes to get you hot and bothered, lol
The average man and woman is easily this persuaded also hence RELIGION being such a success. And guess what…millions think that is TRUTH also.
Most ppl believe they know TRUTH dear. For the record, I never said Kayne was lying about the Industry. I said Kayne is NOT a “genus”, he is NOT Conservative nor does he care about the Black Community.
Things you haven’t refuted.
How does he not care about the black community? He doesn’t want the black community to keep being fed that we are LESS THAN and have to keep falling into a victim mentality when we can do and be WHATEVER we want. The Democrats keep us down and want us down to keep securing our vote by claiming they will save us from whatever tragedy they lead us to believe is happening at the time while never doing so as there is nothing to save us from.
Ever wondered why you would only really hear about BLM the year leading up to the last three elections and never really afterward?
Kayne is currently blaming his ex wife and handlers for his circumstances. He has became the very thing you say he’s against.
He’s being cancelled…
That is a tragedy for someone who has invested so much into this Industry.
That is were his ENERGY is coming from.
The Black Community on the other hand hasn’t had a hero in decades.
So what if Diva is always getting on my knees for White boys. They put their feets on me and stomp on my head gently while f u c k I n g me💅🏾 It’s all about the right s e x y vibe and dominated
you haven’t met a real white man cause you wouldn’t be breathing if you like real torture so shut the f******
Liessss. My White man always choking me with his BWC and Diva is still alive today💅🏾 Diva is pulling George Floyd by saying “daddy, I can’t breathe” and he laughed so hard🤣😂🤣🤣
He’s sorry that his version of the truth hurts, but he’s not changing his perspective.
Haha, money talks! He’s still a multimillionaire & not the victim here!
The Queen is ALWAYS right! 💯🤳🏽💋 BOW DOWN! But moisturize those knees first. The Queen will not tolerate an ashy bish.
Always jealous of Monica 💯
Who dat?
Oh, you mean the flop that was always overshadowed by Brandy. I remember now.
It’s so GOOD to be the Queen. But it’s also hard work. Because being a Queen isn’t just about being well-admired, respected and adored, it comes with a hell of a lot of responsibility. Like keeping all of you educated, in check and up to date with what’s really going in America and in the world, despite what the media tells you and what they cover up.
I’m so happy that you all look up to and respect me in the same way that I look out for and respect each and every one of you. Continue to be a part of the Queen’s uprising as I will be a part of your’s, both individually and collectively.
Welcome to the Queendom
Love,
Shayla
