Speaking with paparazzi on Friday night time, the <strong>Yeezy<\/strong> designer tried to apologize for pushing the conspiracy idea about George\u2019s demise:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings. And I know that police do attack [sic] and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He then continued to dig himself right into a deeper gap by then evaluating dropping his Adidas deal and dealing with backlash for his latest actions by likening it to having \u201ca knee on my neck.\u201d Yeah, Kanye actually mentioned that.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo when I questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people. I want to apologize. Because God has shown me by what adidas is doing, by what the media is doing, I know what it feels to have a knee on my neck right now. So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest Black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off a comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And his feedback didn&#8217;t finish there. Kanye additionally touched on his <a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/kanye-west-obsession-with-adolf-hitler-wanted-name-album-after-him-accusations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">show of antisemitism<\/a> once more, first saying he \u201cdidn\u2019t realize I could be antisemitic until I read a definition of antisemitism.\u201d The father of 4 continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realize it was antisemitic to say I have a Jewish attorney, I have a Jewish record label, I have a Jewish contractor.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And once more, as a substitute of acknowledging how dangerous his statements have been, Kanye simply doubled down on the disgusting antisemitic trope and conspiracy that Jewish individuals management the media and leisure trade. When requested if he was retracting his earlier remarks, the <em>Stronger<\/em> artist pulled up a picture of a spreadsheet of the \u201cred media\u201d \u2013 who he claims are the Jewish executives working the businesses.
