Kanye West, also known as Ye, got up and walked out during the recording of a podcast yesterday. Podcast maker Tim Pool criticized the rapper for his alleged anti-Semitic statements and West did not like that.
In the podcast, West says that he has been wronged a lot by Jewish people. The rapper was joined by conservative journalist Milo Yiannopoulo and commentator Nick Fuentes, who is known as a nationalist and racist. Pool asked who West was referring to with his statements, to which the artist walked away.
“You think Ye can come in here, tell his story and then just say: Jewish people caused that?” Pool said after West had left. “I’m not going to do that, I refuse.” However, the podcast creator says he is not surprised by West’s behavior. “What am I supposed to do then? I have to ask him if he blames individuals or a whole group of people?”
West has been in the news recently because he plans to run for the US presidency again. The rapper, with whom Adidas stopped working last month because of his anti-Semitic statements, previously announced on social media that he had dined with Donald Trump and had asked the former president to become his running mate. Trump, however, said he had little sympathy for West’s proposal. “He started yelling at me and said I was going to lose,” West says in his video of Trump’s reaction.
West also wanted to run for president in 2020. That plan did not work: the rapper then received about 70,000 votes.
