As for West, he has also been making headlines for his Twitter antics. The rapper recently sparked outrage following controversial comments he made about slavery on TMZ Live.
The rapper appeared on the show alongside Harvey Levin, the controversial founder of TMZ. West discussed everything on the show, from his love of Donald Trump to his beliefs on slavery, which shocked everyone in the room.
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years โ for 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. Like, you was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s like we’re mentally in prison,” the rapper said.
“I like the word prison because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks. It is like slavery, holocaust. Holocaust, is Jews, and slavery is blacks. So prison is something that unites us as one race. Black and whites, one race. It is like we are one with the human race, we are human beings and stuff. Right now, we’re choosing to be enslaved,” West continued.
West’s comments created serious outrage on social media. His thoughts also enraged TMZ sports writer Van Nathan, who fired back at West from across the office.
West also clarified his love of President Donald Trump as being more symbolic than political.
