Kanye West nag-sorry sa sinabing ‘slavery is a choice’
HUMINGI ng paumanhin si Kanye
West nitong Miyerkules sa isang radio station sa Chicago sa sinabi niyang “slavery is choice,” at umiyak dahil sa isang dating kaibigan.
“I don’t know if I properly apologized for how that slave comment made people feel, so I want to take this moment right now to say that I’m sorry for hurting, I’m sorry for the one-two effect of the MAGA hat into the slave comment,” sinabi ni West sa 107.5 WGCI radio sa kanyang hometown.
“And I’m sorry for people who felt let down by that moment, and also I appreciate you guys giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the way I was thinking and what I was going through and what led me to that,” aniya.
Sinagot din ni Kanye ang tanong na nagpatameme sa kanya sa Jimmy Kimmel Live!, ito ay kung bakit pakiramdam niya ay may malasakit si President Donald Trump sa black people. Kalaunan ay nag-tweet siya na hindi siya naguluhan sa tanong at hindi niya nagustuhan ang pagputol ng show para sa commercial break nang hindi siya kaagad nakasagot.
Aniya, nag-iingat lamang siya sa kanyang isasagot.
“I feel that (Trump) cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this,” ani Kanye sa WGCI.
“He will do the things that are necessary to make that happen because he’s got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can’t be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community,” dagdag pa ng rapper. “So it’s something he’s gonna work towards, but we’re gonna have to speak to him.” Nitong Miyerkules ng gabi, nagtweet si Trump ng link ng Breitbart News story tungkol sa interview. Tungkol naman sa field trip sa Los Angeles offices ng TMZ noong Mayo, na nagsuot siya ng “Make America Great Again” red cap pabor sa Trump supporters at nagkomento sa slavery, sinabi ni Kanye na dating nakaalalay sa kanya si Don C — dati niyang collaborator, tour manager at record exec —at posibleng pinatahimik na siya bago pa mawala sa hulog ang lahat. “One thing that I got from the TMZ comment is that it showed me how much black people love me, and how much black people count on me and depend on me, and I appreciate that,” ani Kanye.
