Kanye West snapped during an interview after being asked about his anti-Semitic comments. The singer’s reaction went viral on social media on Monday.
The argument with Kanye West
As a result, host Tim Pool asked about the singer’s comments and the meeting with the former president. West explained that the meeting had been scheduled since before his “death con 3” tweet, but that it was delayed, and that the former president had no idea who Fuentes is.
West then hurled anti-Semitic comments and referred to several Trump and Barack Obama advisers. “I’m saying, like, I’ve been labeled antisemite, right? So there’s different beliefs about our bloodlines, you know, like the documentary that Kyrie [Irving] posted and in general, America has been left ignorant and history has been changed,” said the singer also known as Ye.
He further added, “So when we start questioning things that question the indoctrination, then you immediately, get you know… demonized, demonetized and what’s so beautiful about this time is everyone got to see what’s really been happening. And now we can really understand, we can see that Rahm Emanuel was next to Obama and Jared Kushner was right next to Trump.”
During the discussion, he told Pool that he would “walk off this show” if the interview turned into him defending himself. The moment Pool asks him if it’s not a personal issue with Jared Kushner, instead of referring to Jews; West responded, “I didn’t ask your opinion on it. I don’t care about anybody’s opinion, bro. I lost. They tried to put me in jail, they blocked the $2 billion I had. Like when I told [Louis] Farrakhan… the Jewish people allowed Obama to meet with the minister, you know.”
He continued, “you’re not gonna to take my pain away. Right? The Jewish people say it’s the Holocaust, this happened, and you can’t say anything about it. We can’t take their pain away. No one’s gonna denounce the fact that they tried to lock me up. Because every time I’m just holding stride, and it’s like, I thought it was more Malcolm X, but I find out I’m more MLK because as I’m getting hosed down every day by the press, and financially, I’m just standing there. And when I found out that they tried to put me in jail.”
Following the singer’s statement, Pool commented, “I think they’ve been extremely unfair to you.” And then another argument started with the singer that ended with West calling off the interview.
