Volatile ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith unleashed on Kanye West today, asking whether Jewish people helped him or hurt him in his business deals.

The outspoken Smith said he has revised his stance on West. He added that other ethnic groups have a right to express indignation.
“West continued his rhetoric that Jewish people are the reason for his bad business deals, and for the backlash he has received,” Smith said. “I thought the brother was worth billions. What you mean?

Smith also backed away from his prior statements that West appeared untouchable to criticism.

To Forbes, I believe it was worth about $7 billion. If the man’s worth $7 billion and he never has to worry about paying another bill in his entire life, how the hell are you going to touch him?”
