He called Ye a “free thinker” and says this isn’t the time to “condemn Kanye or cancel him.” Charlamagne told Diddy not to make excuses.
Not long after Kanye West and his “White Lives Matter” advocacy went viral, the public began demanding for Sean “Diddy” Combs of Swizz Beatz to comment on the controversy. It was just about a month ago when West called out Adidas for copying his designs, and the complaints were widely supported by his equally as famous friends. Both Swizz and Diddy posted to their social media accounts, calling for a boycott of Adidas on behalf of West and the culture. People questioned what the pair thought of West’s anti-BLM stance.
The topic was brought up during Diddy’s appearance on Drink Champs, and it seemed as if the Bad Boy icon was defending West’s message as being misinterpreted by the masses.
“Kanye my boy,” Diddy repeated as Charlamagne Tha God said this is a time when West needs OGs to step in. Diddy added, “A super, super, super free thinker. You know what I’m sayin’? And a lot of times, what he means is like, misconstrued. You know what I’m sayin’? And sometimes, just, you know…”
Charlamagne interrupted and told Diddy to stop making excuses for his friend.
“Nah, I’m not making excuses, I’m just sayin’ that if he did it, that’s the way he thinks,” said the mogul. “And I understand white lives do matter, but it’s not that. That was out slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with nobody else. And os, that’s the only message. We don’t have to condemn Kanye or cancel him.”
“But, at the same time, you gotta understand your actions… The action of that. I couldn’t put out the Kanye or nothin’ t-shirt.” He said he had a shirt to promote West but he couldn’t bring himself to do it, but will once he reconciles these latest antics. Diddy mentioned some systemic racism issues, as well.
Check out the clip and the full episode below.
I appreciate West’s support of Trump, but make no mistake about it, he is an idiot. I don’t know how Tucker can spend 2 hours conversing with this bubblehead. I guess he figured he had to sacrifice wasting 2 hours of his life for ratings sake. Could be worse, I guess. He could have had Kim Kardashian wasting his time for 2 hours.
Ye is truly a free thinker.
How did you make your two billion dollars?
Why oh why do those on the left seek to silence anyone who disagrees? Simple...”the Only way to make a bad idea seem like a good idea is to silence the good idea that shows just how bad the bad idea really is”. Pretty simple. Now...what are YOU going to do about it?
I believe Kanye (Ye) thinks in terms of Freedom and he is trying to say the black people were used by BLM to make millions and BLM gave them less than nothing in return. When he no longer played the way Obama wanted him to, Obama dropped him and West knew why.
I don’t know that he’s an idiot. He appears to be a talented black man with average intellect albeit random and disorganized.
I will give him kudo’s for every once in awhile hitting the nail squarely on the head as well as being a relatively consistent thorn in the progressive lefts butt on a number of issues.
“How did you make your two billion dollars?”
So, I take it that everyone in Hollywood and on the rap circuit with a fat bank account is a lion of political thought and should have an audience for their political views. West is just as vacuous as the Dixie Chicks.
So you watched the entire interview?
No, I watched about a half hour of it and, although he made 1 or 2 decent points, which I have heard him say before, he is not worth 2 hours of wading through his disorganized mental thoughts. He is a self centered bore, and money or no money, artistically talented or not, he is not a person I would want to spend 2 hours conversing with. Undeniably, if he was sharing progressive rather than conservative ideas, that goes double and I would not want to spend 1 minute listening to him
The O’Biden voter “Charlamagne Tha God” even though Biden told him to his face that “if you don’t vote for me then you ain’t black”. CTG will vote his way into Hell as long as he thinks it makes him one of the cool people.
He is admittedly bipolar, so there’s that.
He definitely has an ego, no denying that.
I can understand people not liking him.
I just find him unique, even though I don’t agree with plenty of what he says/thinks.
I agree with your sentiments. I just find that there are so many great black thinkers like Sowell, Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Armstrong, etc that Tucker could have spent the two hours with that would have made the 2 hours a great listening experience.
D9 you have a source for his net worth?
Ye is a free spirit. He is worth listening to. He is a “character” in a stifling and bland media culture. I’m glad that Tucker interviewed him. But make no mistake, he is crazy. He is right about many things, but he will do and say some weird stuff. Good interview, Tucker.
Wait. You mean Diddy and Kanye aren’t the same guy?
I am so thankful my parents didn’t name me Diddy. High School would have been hail.
There’s a bunch of sources and they vary somewhat.
I couldn’t tell you where they get their information from.
It could be inaccurate, but it’s largely considered correct.
