Kanye West is feeling the pressure from all angles...
Ye is facing a $250 million lawsuit from George Floyd’s family for falsely claiming Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose rather than Dereck Chauvin’s knee on his neck.
After being dropped by Adidas, Ye was in Los Angeles on Friday Night and gave an impromptu interview.
During the interview, Kanye apologized for hurting the Black community, and also said he knows what it feels like to have a knee on his neck right, referring to the media and Hollywood.
“When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings. And I know that police do attack and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote. So when I questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people. I want to apologize. Because God has showed me by what adidas is doing, by what the media is doing, I know what it feels to have a knee on my neck right now. So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest Black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off a comment.”
Kanye went on to address his antisemitic comments, who runs the music industry and if he is on medication right now or not.
