IDK about you, however I’m one of many many individuals who fully soured on Kanye West final weekend after he rocked a White Lives Matter shirt — however one outstanding particular person is standing by him: fellow rapper and entrepreneur Diddy.
This morning, Diddy appeared on The Breakfast Club and defended Kanye within the midst of all of the criticism he is been getting.
“Kanye, my boy, is a super, super, super free thinker,” Diddy stated, repeating what Kanye has stated about himself prior to now in protection of different controversies. “And a lot of times, what he means is, like, misconstrued.”
Stopping him proper there, Charlamagne Tha God chimed in to say that Diddy wanted to cease making excuses for Kanye (!!!), to which he replied: “I’m not making excuses. I’m just saying that if he did it, like, that’s the way he thinks.”
“And I understand white lives do matter, but it’s not that,” Diddy continued. “That was our slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with nobody else.”
“That’s the only message,” Diddy added. “We don’t have to condemn Kanye or cancel him. It doesn’t have to go crazy. But at the same time, you gotta understand your actions.”
Diddy stated that due to that, he is determined to carry off on releasing a shirt he supposed to honor Kanye. “I’m gonna still do it,” he stated. “I just need a couple of days to get over this T-shirt because right now, we’re the ones that are dying, that are incarcerated, that [live] in poverty, not getting any money for reparations and, on top of that, flooding our communities with drugs and guns. And we know all this and they’re still not trying to break us off.”
Diddy stated that this must be the main target and that there is “no time for any unnecessary noise from [Kanye] or Candace Owens” — signaling that perhaps he does not absolutely agree with Kanye’s choice in any case.
