Kanye West dubbed Piers Morgan a “Karen” in an interview that came days after the rapper posted an anti-semitic tweet and just weeks following his 'White Lives Matter' controversy. The 45 year old slammed the TalkTV host as he appeared on his show Uncensored as part of a two-hour interview special.
In a clip from the chat Kanye can be seen branding Piers, 57, a “Karen” as he's questioned about his heavily condemned tweet, which read: "I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” When asked by Piers if he was sorry for his post, Kanye at first states that he has “no regrets”, before appearing to apologise. Kanye then storms out of the interview, before returning and laying into Piers.
Kanye fumes: "You're being a Karen; you don't hold accountability to the pain.” A ‘Karen’ refers to a person of self-entitlement who weaponises their privileged position and uses micro-aggressions to cause harm onto others. Piers replies: “I'm not a Karen and I'm not going to cancel you and I'm not going to censor you, I'm simply going to challenge you on what you're saying.” Kanye then responds: "You can't cancel me!" Piers goes on to speak about the “pain caused” by Kanye’s tweet, to which he replies: “God forbid one comment could cause people to feel any of the pain that my people have went through for years.
"Even the Blacks being ushered to the left during the civil rights movement, no one has cared about black people!" Kanye’s explosive interview comes after he made the atrocious claim that George Floyd was killed by a fentanyl overdose, going against the medical examiner’s evidence. Mr Floyd died after in 2020 after US police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nine minutes in footage

Kanye West‘s most recent record label, Universal Music Group, has shared a statement denouncing antisemitism.West has made a slew of antisemitic comments over the past weeks. A post directed at the Jewish community led to West being suspended from Instagram and later Twitter, where he wrote that he “[would be] going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE”.While not referencing West directly, UMG have now shared a statement in which they promoted an ongoing partnership with the American Jewish Committee.“There is no place for antisemitism in our society,” the statement read.
Kanye West will face a 250 million dollar (£221 million) lawsuit brought by the family of George Floyd, following recent remarks the rapper made about his death.

Kanye West‘s recent anti-Semetic remarks as “stupidities”, adding that Israel has “dealt with bigger problems”.The former prime minister of Israel who now serves as the country’s opposition leader suggested in a new interview that West’s comments recall racist tropes against Jewish people that “shouldn’t have any place in civilised discourse”.Speaking to US political pundit Bill Maher on his HBO show Real Time on Friday (October 14) who asked him if Israel will take action over Ye, Netanyahu responded with a laugh: “We’ve dealt with bigger problems than these stupidities.”He continued: “But, you know, the communists blame the Jews for being capitalists, the capitalists blame the Jews for being communists.“You have a problem, blame the Jews. It’s old stuff.

Fox & Friends Weekend were forced to make an on-air u-turn after learning about the hateful things Kanye West actually tweeted over the weekend.Initially, Will Cain, Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy supported West after it was revealed he was banned from Instagram for posts deemed “anti-semetic”.On Saturday (October 8) West shared a series of texts he’d exchanged with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs following Combs’ criticism of his ”White Lives Matter” t-shirt – a slogan tied to white supremacist movements. In one of those texts, West wrote to Diddy: “I’ma use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” Shortly after that, his Instagram account was restricted by Meta and posts were removed.“We’re in this weird era where people can’t just say what they want to say,” said Campos-Duffy, who had seen the post.
