Kanye West is only hours removed from the apology he issued to the family of George Floyd and the Black community at large for claiming the unarmed Black man died from drug use rather than the knee of the policeman convicted of killing him.

However, the rapper has sparked fresh controversy by taking aim at Roxie Washington – the mother of Floyd’s daughter.

As reported, Washington filed a $250 Million lawsuit against the MC on behalf of the youngster. The sum is being sought for the harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress it’s claimed West’s words caused.

Taking to Instagram moments ago, the embattled star let loose his feelings on the matter.

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.

The reverberations from Kanye West‘s appearance on Drink Champs continue to spill over.

As reported, the controversial rapper took to the platform to pour fuel on the flames of his polarizing views about a multitude of topics – including race relations.

Perhaps most shocking were his remarks about George Floyd‘s death. For, despite former police officer Derek Chauvin being convicted of killing the unarmed Black man, West claimed that it was actually the drug Fentanyl that was the cause.

Now, host N.O.R.E. – who has been receiving heat in earnest for not taking West to task – is speaking up and out. And he’s in a remorseful space.

Kanye West has sparked fresh controversy and once again it centers on racial discourse.

Fresh from offending many with comments deemed anti-Semitic, the rapper shared a shocking take on one of the cases at the heart of the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement: the murder of George Floyd.

As of writing, former Police officer Derek Chauvin is sitting in prison convicted of killing the unarmed Black man – whose neck he knelt on for over 9 minutes.

For Kanye, though, that wasn’t the reason for Floyd’s death.
