N.O.R.E. Apologizes For Ye’s George Floyd Comments, ‘Drink Champs’ Episode Pulled
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty N.O.R.E. is apologizing. The Drink Champs host went on a tour to say “my bad” for letting Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, run rampant with the hateful vitriol, which included questioning how George Floyd died, during his latest appearance on the popular podcast. Everyone knew someone would give Ye access to a microphone, but no one thought that outlet would let the “Power” rapper and designer talk so recklessly. The entire Drink Champs episode, which has since been taken down (but was up over 24 hours), features Ye going heavy on the antisemitic commentary, asserting that Jews are running the music industry and not giving creatives a fair shake in business. But another “free thought” that raised eyebrows was when Ye said George Flo...
Kanye’s ‘Drink Champs’ Interview With N.O.R.E. Has Been Removed From Revolt & YouTube
After N.O.R.E.’s apology post-Drink Champs interview with Kanye West, the video itself has been removed from YouTube and Revolt. Following the interview between N.O.R.E. and Ye, backlash ensued, with viewers pointing out the controversial rapper’s comments regarding the murder of George Floyd, and Jewish people “[owning] the Black voice” through Black people wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt, “being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney.” He went on to add, “I respect what the Jewish people have done, and how they brought their people together.” The conversation lasted nearly 45-minutes and came on the heels of Ye’s attendance at Candace Owens’ premiere of her film, The Greatest L...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty N.O.R.E. has become one of the most prominent voices in media today via his Drink Champs podcast series with co-host DJ EFN. Given the nature of the show’s program and the looseness of conversation, the Queens veteran took a swipe at Wu-Tang Clan affiliates but has since walked back the jab after calling members of the collective “flunkies.” During an episode of Drink Champs featuring Mickey Factz, Asher Roth, and Blu, N.O.R.E. referred to Shyheim and the Sunz Of Man as “flunkies” which prompted some laughs from the guests. Shyheim, not taking kindly to N.O.R.E.’s jab, responded via Instagram and let it be known that he’s never been anyone’s flunky. Shyheim also made sure to defend other crew affiliates such as La The Darkman, Royal F...
