Kanye West Storms Out of Interview After Tim Pool Lightly Defends Jews
Kanye West’s first extended sit-down interview since his meeting with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week lasted about 20 minutes.
The artist now known as Ye stormed out of a sit down with the reactionary social-media performer Tim Pool, after the host lightly pushed back on Ye’s meandering, paranoid and yet largely uninterrupted antisemitic rant that opened the show.
During that 20-minute stretch, West offered a sprawling, aggrieved commentary railing against those he believes had harmed him, including but not limited to: a designer at Adidas who Ye is convinced was a CIA and somehow also a “Zionist” plant, Jamie Dimon, Adidas, the Gap, his former trainer and also in Ye’s mind a Canadian deep-state agent, and, of course, the fictional Jewish cabal in charge of both banking and media. “It was like American History X, like my head was on the side of the curb, and the exact people that I called out kick my head,” said Ye. The rapper also appeared to back Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who similarly posted antisemitic material, and talked about the true “bloodlines” of Black people.
