But I do not support anybody being hurt,” N.O.R.E told “The Breakfast Club” host  Charlamagne Tha God. “I did not realize that the George Floyd statements made by Kanye on my show were so hurtful. You have to realize that it was the first five minutes of the show – like when he walked in, he told my producer that if we stop filming, he’ll walk out. So I didn’t want a Birdman moment, like when he walked out, so I wanted the man to speak.”

Kanye West has sparked another controversy after making comments about the death of George Floyd. Floyd, a Black man, was killed following an altercation with a white police officer in Minneapolis in May 2020.Distressing footage emerged soon after Floyd’s altercation with police which showed him being restrained on the ground by Derek Chauvin, who placed his knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes.

Mav (Maverick Carter) didn’t even run my interview, they blocked me out, the Jewish media blocked me out.

Lizzo is not letting herself get involved in anyone’s drama.

Kim Kardashian is showing some subtle support as Kanye «Ye» West remains embroiled in controversy. The reality star posted an adorable video over the weekend, showing two of the former couple's young children singing their dad's song with XXXTENTACION, «True Love.» In the clip, Psalm West, 3, sweetly croons the song from the back seat of a car while big sister Chicago West, 4, corrects him on some of the lyrics. The endearing moment comes amid a firestorm of controversy for the 45-year-old rapper, who made headlines for hispolarizing appearance at Paris Fashion Week and a series of subsequent social media tirades that included barbs aimed at his ex. Among them: an allegation that he was kept from seeing Chicago on her birthday. A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian)Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021.

Lizzo has appeared to respond to Kanye West‘s recent comments about her weight. “I’m minding my fat Black business,” she said at a gig this weekend.In a recent interview on Fox News, Kanye said that what he believed was the promotion of obesity by social media companies was “demonic”.“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots … on Instagram, they attack her losing weight, because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy,” he told host Tucker Carlson.At her Toronto show on Friday (October 7), Lizzo appeared to clap back against the comments, telling the crowd: “I feel like everybody in America got my motherfucking name in their motherfucking mouth for no motherfucking reason.“I’m minding my fat Black beautiful business,” she added.Elsewhere in the Fox News interview, Kanye defended his choice of attire at this year’s Paris Fashion Week – a shirt emblazoned with the controversial slogan “White Lives Matter”, which has it roots in white supremacist movements.

Lizzo won’t stand for any more unsolicited fatphobia from Kanye West — or anyone else, for that matter!
