Ye, the rapper and multi-hyphenate artist formerly known as Kanye West, sat with Chris Cuomo Monday night to address his recent anti-semitic social media messages that got him kicked off of Twitter and Instagram. Earlier Monday, Ye’s social media journey continued with the announcement of his intentions to buy the right-wing Parler platform.
Sitting with Cuomo that evening, instead of making a well-intentioned effort to clear his name, however, Ye doubled down on much of what he had to say, claiming that “the Jewish underground media mafia” were attacking him before those Tweets. He specifically cited when he wore his now-infamous “White Lives Matter” shirt to Paris Fashion Week earlier this month.
“When I wore the White Lives Matter T-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me,” Ye said, adding, “They just immediately disrespect me. They keep the crazy narrative going.
They never call me a billionaire.”As the meandering, 20-minute interview unfolded, and as more claims such as these came to light, Cuomo did interject to emphasize that Ye had to understand the consequences and the falsehoods of his opinions. “Look at how your point was gonna start: ‘You have to understand,'” Ye responded.
“But the thing is, the Jewish people that I’m talking about don’t have to understand, and that is that privilege that I’m not gonna allow.”To the claim that “over 50% of the executives in Hollywood, the CEOs, are Jewish” and that “these guys know each other,” Cuomo interjected: “That’s different than saying it’s a mafia and that they act as Jews in some way as opposed to just being businessmen.”The interaction largely continued on with the two men speaking over one another.

Lena Dunham said she is “upset” by the treatment of Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde, which she believes can be “more intense” for women in the public eye.

Brendan Fraser fought armies of the undead in “The Mummy.” He swung from vines in “George of the Jungle.” He traveled around the world with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in “Looney Toons: Back in Action.” He made a pact with Elizabeth Hurley as the Devil in “Bedazzled.” He partied with Pauly Shore as a reanimated Neanderthal in “Encino Man.” He even took a shower with Matt Damon in “School Ties.” And while those movies brought him fame, fortune and respect in Hollywood, rocketing Fraser to the top of the A-list in the 1990s and early aughts, they didn’t usually scream “Oscar-worthy.” He was always invited to the party, of course, but as a presenter, not a nominee.

Sanger has long been criticised for allying herself with eugenicist organisations and sharing some of their views – which Planned Parenthood nowadays denounce as “objectionable and outmoded”.West added: “When I say Jew, I mean the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race Black really are.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If Kid Cudi is indeed retiring his rapper persona, as strongly indicated in recent interviews, Monday night might have served as an early farewell party of sorts. At a special screening at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Hollywood, the star was all smiles as he answered questions and celebrated the release of “Entergalactic,” the new animated Netflix special that serves as a kind of filmic companion piece to Cudi’s new album of the same name. “I’m just overwhelmed, you know?” Cudi, who created, starred in, and executive-produced the project, said immediately after the screening, sitting next to the film’s director, Fletcher Moules. “The past week has been really exciting to see the reviews, see the response. We’ve been working on this thing for three years, man.”
Ye West has had a busy week. Aside from his social media tirades that have resulted in several blockings, accusations of anti-semitism, and more, West also had the time to go on a date.
