IDK about you, however I am one of many many individuals who utterly soured on Kanye West final weekend after he rocked a White Lives Matter shirt — however one outstanding particular person is standing by him: fellow rapper and entrepreneur Diddy.
This morning, Diddy appeared on The Breakfast Membership and defended Kanye within the midst of all of the criticism he is been getting.
“Kanye, my boy, is a brilliant, tremendous, tremendous free thinker,” Diddy mentioned, repeating what Kanye has mentioned about himself prior to now in protection of different controversies. “And quite a lot of instances, what he means is, like, misconstrued.”
Stopping him proper there, Charlamagne Tha God chimed in to say that Diddy wanted to cease making excuses for Kanye (!!!), to which he replied: “I am not making excuses. I am simply saying that if he did it, like, that is the way in which he thinks.”
“And I perceive white lives do matter, however it’s not that,” Diddy continued. “That was our slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with no one else.”
“That is the one message,” Diddy added. “We do not have to sentence Kanye or cancel him. It would not should go loopy. However on the identical time, you gotta perceive your actions.”
Diddy mentioned that due to that, he is determined to carry off on releasing a shirt he supposed to honor Kanye. “I am gonna nonetheless do it,” he mentioned. “I simply want a few days to recover from this T-shirt as a result of proper now, we are the ones which can be dying, which can be incarcerated, that [live] in poverty, not getting any cash for reparations and, on high of that, flooding our communities with medication and weapons. And we all know all this they usually’re nonetheless not making an attempt to interrupt us off.”
Diddy mentioned that this needs to be the main focus and that there is “no time for any pointless noise from [Kanye] or Candace Owens” — signaling that possibly he would not absolutely agree with Kanye’s determination in any case.
