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.
