MAGA Ye aka Kanye West “Absolutely Not” Sorry About Antisemitic Comments
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Revolt / Youtube If you felt as if Ye aka Kanye West was going to take a step back from his disrespectful comments as of late, he confirmed that he wasn’t sorry about them. The rapper and fashion designer appeared on the Piers Uncensored show on Wednesday night with host Piers Morgan to talk about the current backlash he’s enduring due to making several offensive comments about Jewish people, beginning with a tweet that he sent out on Oct. 8. The interview started off contentious, as Kanye West called Morgan a “Karen” and said to the host, “You don’t hold accountability to my pain.” The host would fire back: “I’m not a Karen and I’m not going to cancel you and I’m not going to censor you, I’m simply going to challenge you on what you’re saying.” “Do you n...
Trump Defends MAGA Ye fka Kanye West Despite Antisemitism Backlash
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kent Nishimura / Getty As Ye fka Kanye West is still being taken to task for his antisemitic rants, he’s got one person firmly in his corner – former president Donald Trump. In a recent interview, Donald Trump was asked about the rapper’s offensive remarks which targeted Jewish people including Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. “He was really nice to me. Beyond anybody, he was,” he said to right-wing host Larry O’Connor. “I’ve always gotten along with him. He was really high on a guy named Donald Trump,” he continued. O’Connor, a commentator for Salem News, pressed Trump about West’s comments on Kushner. “He’s been saying some really offensive things lately about your own son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and about Jewish people. Jewish Americans writ large. Co...
No Sir, Not Me: Ice Cube Denies Putting Antisemitic Battery In Ye’s Back
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Ice Cube wants none of what Ye fka Kanye West is peddling. The legendary rapper and actor took to social media to refute claims by Ye that he was the inspiration for his recent wave of antisemitic commentary. During his most recent and now infamous appearance on Drink Champs, Ye told host N.O.R.E. that it was Ice Cube who sparked his hateful musings by inspiring his “antisemitic vibe.” However, on Tuesday (Oct. 19(, Cube took to Twitter to relay that MAGA Ye needs to pump his brakes. “I hate that my name was dragged into this Drunk Champs bullshit,” tweeted Cube. “I don’t know what Ye meant by his statements, you’re gonna have to ask him.

Kanye West Mocks Supreme Creative Director Tremaine Emory
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MEGA / Getty For the past few days Ye’s been making headlines for his divisive point of views that are akin to that of a White Nationalist and now he seems to be taking shots at Supreme’s creative director, Tremaine Emory. Page Six is reporting that recently the artist formerly known as Kanye West wore a shirt that featured a drawing of Emory’s face with a hand clad in Stars and Stripes covering his mouth. Above the illustration the word “Tremendez” was printed as that’s Ye’s new nickname for his former friend and collaborator. The shot taken at Tremaine comes on the heels of Emory criticizing Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” t-shirt that caused an uproar amongst non-racist people and calling out Kanye for invoking Virgil Abloh’s name in one of his rants...
Stupidity Is A Choice: Ye Says “He Doesn’t Believe In The Term” Antisemitism
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Davis / Getty In more Ye news, the coon in boots has added a new hot take to his growing list of tomfoolery, claiming that antisemitism is not real. Linking up with ex-CNN host Chris Cuomo who now has another show on the NewsNation, from his vehicle, the problematic hyphenate had a lot more stupidy to get off his mind. Among the topics discussed was Ye’s recent acquisition of Parler, the right-wing cesspool disguised as a social media platform, and his antisemitic statements. “I don’t like the term antisemitic,” West loudly and wrongly said when asked at the 4:30 mark in the interview about his insanely troubling comments about Jewish people. “It’s been a term that’s allowed people, specifically in my industry, to get away with murder—sometimes lite...
Pot Meet Kettle: Even Donald Trump Thinks Ye Is “Crazy” & Needs “Help”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Consolidated News Pictures / Getty Donald Trump still has sway over the Republican Party and his brand of so-called MAGA politics has a wide share of supporters, including one Kanye West aka Ye. However, the former president believes that Ye’s recent outbursts against what the Chicago superstar is framing as a shadowy network of Jewish individuals controlling all of the major media outlets are, quote, “crazy.” Rolling Stone exclusively reports that their pair of sources reveal that Donald Trump thinks that Ye should seek outside “help” for his repeated media outbursts of late and framed Ye as “crazy” according to the outlet’s account. Many are defecting from the camp of Kanye in the wake of what many are calling an antisemitic crusade along with his attac...
Former NBA Player Stephen Jackson Goes In On Kanye West For George Floyd Remarks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ron Jenkins / Getty For many people, it might have been the straw that broke the sunken place camel’s back when Kanye West said that—based on an anti-Black Lives Matter documentary produced by edgeless queen MAGA mammy Candace Owens—he believes George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose rather than a cop’s knee being placed on his neck for more than eight minutes. The MAGA hat and “White Lives Matter” shirt-wearing admitted antisemite has been on a roll for the past couple of weeks making ridiculous statements and leaving a trail of second-hand embarrassment everywhere he goes. And, at this point, if you’re still defending him, you might as well throw on a MAGA hat yourself, because he has made it clear who his people are. Anyway, former NBA player&...
