Akon Doubles Down On Backing Kanye West’s Right To Praise Adolf Hitler

Kanye “Ye” West continues to make headlines with his antisemitic rhetoric. While many media figures slammed Ye for his controversial comments, Akon shared a different reaction to the situation.

In October, Kanye West sparked a media firestorm after tweeting that he planned to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.” The 45-year-old rapper also publicly expressed his appreciation for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime.

Hitler oversaw the Holocaust genocide which led to the systematic murder of an estimated six million Jews in Europe. The Nazis also persecuted Black Germans and other non-Caucasian groups as well as disabled people and homosexuals.

Apparently, Akon still supports Kanye West despite his offensive opinions about the Jewish community and Nazi Germany. The Senegalese-American singer recently made an appearance on Sky News, discussing Ye’s move toward antisemitism.

“I’m a backer of the right to believe what you want to believe,” said Akon. “Now, the day me and him have a conversation, I will give him my point of view on why I disagree and he may come back and say, ‘You know what? You’re right.’ Or he may say, ‘I’m not.’”

The “Locked Up” performer added, “Those comments [by Ye] don’t really affect me personally, and I think if everyone takes it that way, then it’s different. And if it does affect you personally, then find a way to actually respond in a way that that conversation can be reciprocated.”

Akon received some online backlash following his interview with Sky News. Instead of walking back his takes on Kanye West, the Konvict Muzik label founder doubled down on his views.

“I clearly do not agree with Kanye’s [remarks] about Hitler. I am simply saying that everyone should have the right to their own opinion. Doesn’t mean we will always agree,” tweeted Akon over the weekend. That Twitter post garnered more than 13,000 likes.

U.K. Rapper Pa Salieu Jailed Over Mass Brawl, Sentenced To 33 Months

Pa Salieu has been sentenced to 33 months behind bars after taking part in a street fight outside a bar in England in 2018. 

He was charged with violent disorder and possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon after being accused of being part of a group that chased a man outside a nightclub. The brawl allegedly broke out after the rapper’s friend, Fidel Glasgow, grandson of The Specials singer Neville Staples, was fatally stabbed. 

Police are still investigating the 22-year-old’s murder, but to date no one has been charged in connection with his death. 

As reported by AllHipHop.com, at the trial in March Pa Salieu denied violent disorder but admitted a separate charge relating to violent disorder after the initial fight. He was convicted of possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon.  

The victim, known pseudonymously as “Bobby,” was hospitalized for ten days as a result of his injuries. He has since recovered but required “immediate, extensive surgery” following the attack.  

Court Rejects Pa Salieu’s Self-Defense Claim

Judge Peter Cooke rejected Pa Salieu’s claim that he acted in self-defense, believing the victim was armed.  

During sentencing, the judge said the rapper “helped run Bobby to ground and set about him,” as per the Guardian. 

He continued: “You are a young man who has already suffered impacts on your career as a result of these proceedings but I observe it is a career that has flourished nonetheless.” 

He also expressed sympathy for the loss of Salieu’s friend and spoke on how the promising musician used his success to give back to people from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

“Those are factors that speak well of you and must be taken into account in your favor,” said the judge. “I want you to focus on getting your life back on track and make the most of your talents, which I trust you will be able to do.”

Elon Musk was driven to violent thoughts by one of Kanye West’s recent social media posts, admitting that he wanted to put hands on the rapper after he posted a picture of a s####### inside a Star of David on Twitter last week.  

The Twitter CEO banned Ye and explained his stance during a live Q&A on Twitter Spaces this weekend.  

“At some point you have to say what is incitement to violence because it is against the law in the U.S.,” Elon said. “Posting swastikas in what obviously is not a good way is an incitement to violence.” 

According to Elon, Kanye’s post caused him to have violent thoughts. “I personally wanted to punch Kanye,” he added. “So that was definitely inciting me to violence. That’s not cool.” Listen to the clip below.

Elon Musk Says He Tried His Best To Keep Kanye West On Twitter

According to Elon Musk, he did all he could to keep Kanye West on the platform but to no avail. 

“I tried my best,” he tweeted in the wake of Ye’s suspension. “Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.” 

The same day as posting the s####### image, Kanye West spoke positively of Hitler and the Nazis during an appearance on Infowars. “I like Hitler,” he told host Alex Jones before adding that the Nazis “did good things too.” Ye also called for people “to stop dissing the Nazis all the time.” 

On Sunday evening, Kanye West returned to Instagram with a post questioning Elon Musk’s heritage. As reported by AllHipHop.com, the G.O.O.D. Music founder questioned “Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half Chinese?”  

He then claimed the Tesla CEO “is the first genetic hybrid that stuck,” alongside Barack Obama. Ye also called for “a mass investigation of Elon Musk’s childhood photos in the midst of Balenciagagate.”  

Suspect In Takeoff Murder To Appear In Court Monday, Self-Employed DJ Says He Has No Income 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Patrick Clark, the man charged in the murder of Migos rapper Takeoff, is due in court on Monday following his arrest last week (Dec. 1). 

Court documents show Clark listed himself as a self-employed DJ with no wages coming in. He recorded his income as $0.00 and requested a court-appointed attorney, according to KHOU 11. 

The suspect’s bail was previously set at $2 million as he is a suspected flight risk. Authorities believe he was attempting to flee the country to Mexico, applying for an expedited passport in the wake of the Nov. 1 shooting.  

He was subsequently arrested while carrying the passport and a large amount of cash. 

If the court grants him bond, Clark faces a number of conditions. These include 24-hour house arrest, electronic monitoring, no firearms, illegal drugs or alcohol, and no contact with the victim’s family.  

Cops say Clark was captured on camera outside the Houston Bowling alley at the time of the shooting. He was spotted firing a gun while carrying a wine bottle in his hand. Another camera shows him jumping into a getaway vehicle with the gun still in his possession.  

Houston Police believe Takeoff was not the intended target that night but was in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are still appealing for witnesses and say none of the roughly 40 people present that night stuck around to give a statement. 

Last week, another suspect appeared in court to face charges in connection with the shooting of Takeoff. Lil Cam a.k.a. Cameron Joshua was charged with two counts of felon in possession of a weapon although cops have not accused him of shooting the rapper.

Boosie Badazz has had a lot to say about Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union’s child over the years, making numerous comments concerning Zaya’s transition. 

Last year, the actress defended her teenage trans daughter during an interview with Jemele Hill published on Nov 7. After sharing that things with Zaya are “so far so good,” she added, “sorry, Boosie,” acknowledging his hurtful comments about her child.  

As the audience applauded, Gabrielle Union implied Boosie is in the closet. “He’s so preoccupied,” she mused. “It’s almost like ‘thou doth protest too much Lil Boos’,” she said before adding, “You got a lot of dick on your mind.”  

After the host pointed out that Zaya and Lil Nas X “live in his mind rent free,” Gabrielle questioned if there was something Boosie wanted to announce. Check out the clip below.

While the interview is over a year old, the above clip resurfaced and caught the rapper’s attention. Boosie clapped back at Gabrielle Union in a Twitter rant, bashing her for questioning a “ghetto hero’s manhood,” while he took a shot at Dwayne Wade.  

“The whole world know I love women n the world know your husband love dick‼️,” he began. “I hope u dont think blacks look at yall like a power couple😀they dont‼️” 

Despite talking about Zaya Wade on numerous occasions, he added, “I had refused to talk about yall in interviews n hear you go‼️go bang him with that d#### n wait on a script u lil white girl💁‍♀️”

Elon Musk Reacts To Kanye West Calling Him “Half Chinese” And A “Genetic Hybrid” 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Kanye West has returned to Instagram with a dig at Elon Musk just days after being banned from Twitter after posting an image of a Star of David with a s####### inside. 

On Sunday (Dec. 4), the G.O.O.D. Music founder called the Tesla CEO a “genetic hybrid” and questioned whether he is “half Chinese” due to his intellectual ability.  

“Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half Chinese? Have you ever seen his pics as a child? Take a Chinese genius and mate them with a South African supermodel and we have an Elon, ” Kanye West wrote. 

“I say ‘an Elon’ because they probably made 10 to 30 Elons and he is the first genetic hybrid that stuck. Well, let’s not forget about Obama.” 

Kanye then referred to his 2024 presidential run, writing what could be his new campaign slogan: “YE 24, Let’s Unite And Find Out, LUAFO.”  

Kanye West Calls For “Investigation of Elon Musk’s Childhood Photos”

In the caption, he labeled himself “Future president of the United States Ye” and called for “a mass investigation of Elon Musk’s childhood photos in the midst of Balenciagagate.” Furthermore, he believes Dec. 4 – “Jay-Z’s birthday” is the perfect day to launch such an investigation.  

Elon Musk caught wind of Kanye West’s remarks regarding his heritage but said, “I take that as a compliment.”  

According to Ye, “It was meant as a compliment.” He shared a screenshot of Elon’s exchange adding, “Now Obama on the other hand…..” Check out his posts below.

Kanye West still referred to the Twitter owner as “my friend” despite his latest ban from the platform. Last week, after his s####### post, Elon said although he “tried [his] best” with Kanye, he was suspended because he “violated our rule against incitement to violence.”

Fat Joe Says Jay-Z Collaboration Was Scrapped Over Roc Nation’s Boss Lyrics About The NFL

In an interview for GQ magazine, the rapper – real name Joseph Cartagena – confirmed the hip-hop mogul recorded a guest verse for one of his tracks.

However, Joe alleged the song was put on hold in 2019 because Jay referred to controversies surrounding the National Football League (NFL).

“He was talking about the NFL stuff. He had just signed that big deal with that NFL, so he wanted to let it go. He gave it to me,” he said. “Yeah. But I guess his people were like, ‘Yo bro, you just did a deal with them. How are you going to go in like that?'”

Yet, Joe insisted there are copies of the record still floating around.

“I got a copy here. I don’t listen to it, but I got it. Dre got it. Let me put it clear. Dre of Cool & Dre got it. I don’t have it,” the 52-year-old added.

Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation signed a multi-year deal with the NFL in 2019.

Joe is currently promoting his memoir, “The Book of Jose: A Memoir,” which was released in November.

Recently, Chrisean Rock bragged about giving her man two black eyes. When she did, I immediately went back to the previous rumors that have been floating around. See, Rock’s man is rapper Blueface, who has been in this crazy toxic relationship with her. They have been accused of being abusive for a minute, but recently there has been a shift. That shift is seeing a more aggressive Chrisean Rock, who also makes Mac-N-Cheese with her bare hands. She crazy.

Samuel L. Jackson Checks Quentin Tarantino Over “Marvel-ization of Hollywood” Comment About Actors

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Samuel L. Jackson has responded to his frequent collaborator Quentin Tarantino’s assertion that Marvel actors are not movie stars.

During a recent podcast interview, the filmmaker spoke out against the “Marvel-ization of Hollywood” and claimed Marvel actors get overshadowed by the characters they portray, with the character being the star instead of the actor.

Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in Marvel movies and has worked with Tarantino on several films, responded to the criticism during an appearance on The View.

“It takes an actor to be those particular characters, and the sign of movie stardom has always been, what, a#### in seats? What are we talking about?” Jackson said. “That’s not a big controversy for me to know that apparently, these actors are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is ‘Black Panther.’ You can’t refute that, and he’s a movie star.”

Boseman passed away in August 2020, aged 43, following a private battle with colon cancer.

Tarantino made the comments during an appearance on the “2 Bears, 1 Cave” podcast, saying that the superhero characters are the main draw for cinemagoers rather than the actors.

“You have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters,” he stated. “But they’re not movie stars. Right? ‘Captain America’ is the star. Or Thor is the star. I mean, I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a zillion times… but it’s like, you know, it’s these franchise characters that become a star.”

Jackson worked with Tarantino on movies including “Pulp Fiction,” “Jackie Brown,” “Django Unchained,” and “The Hateful Eight.” 

He will next be seen as Nick Fury in the Marvel miniseries “Secret Invasion,” which will air on Disney+ in early 2023.

Lizzo has opened up about including her relationship with Myke Wright in her new documentary.

While speaking to Glamour, the “About Damn Time” singer discussed her decision to depict her relationship with the “Wonderland” co-host and stand-up comedian in “Love, Lizzo.”

“It was a tough decision because I could have completely left it out of the film, and trust me, there’s edits where it was done,” Lizzo said. “But it’s such a huge part of my life because of the kind of artist I am. I do write songs about him.”

She continued, “A lot of my songs are about love and about him, and of course, they’re about self-love, et cetera, et cetera. But, you know, this album is a love album.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zUMrdXxJJA

The HBO Max documentary follows Lizzo as she creates her latest album Special, which she revealed was in part inspired by her boyfriend.

“It was important to add that because I wanted y’all to get the complete story,” she told Glamour about showcasing her relationship in the film. 

“This is the definitive doc on me and how I’ve gotten this far. Now, if I need to do one with me and him one day, you know, breaking it down, that’s a different story. But I did need to at least introduce him because he’s very important to not just my personal life, but who I am as a creator.”

Lizzo confirmed she was in a relationship in April, and she made her red carpet debut with Myke in June. “Love, Lizzo” premiered last month.

Bun B, the family of the late Pimp C, and the citizens of Port Arthur celebrated the 10th annual UGK Day in Port Arthur, TX on Saturday (December 3rd) at the Downtown Pavilion.

According to a press release, the event organizer was the firm Clark & Coleman Museum Consultancy, and they planned a day that hundreds enjoyed.

In addition to the scheduled events, attendees of different ages hung out and bought all kinds of pre-holiday items at the vendor market. 

One activation was a short film and performing arts piece meant to educate, celebrate, and create memories that build the foundation for the next wave of music, arts, and culture being fostered in Texas cities. 

This event [also] featured home videos, oral histories, and interviews of rapper Pimp C, reflecting on the aspects of a Southern rap culture he helped to create.

Bernard “Bun B” Freeman and Chad “Pimp C” Butler, both of Port Arthur, created UGK (Underground Kingz) in 1987 and have been made spanning five generations.

The day was another celebration of their legacy.

Today (December 4), also marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Pimp C. The rapper died at the age of 33, from an overdose of promethazine/codeine.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t feel the loss. I just find better ways to cope with it. Missed and loved but appreciated for the time we did have with you,” Bun B. said. “Your spirit lives on in your music and your legacy lives on through your kids. The trillest ever born. They’ll never be another. Love you bro. And it’s still UGK For Life! #LongLiveThePimp.”

EXCLUSIVE: Supreme Court Rules Norbes Is Not An Owner Of The Ultimate Rap League

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

After two prior decisions by a lower court, a higher court has ruled in the Ultimate Rap League’s ownership lawsuit launched by Dagoberto Velez, otherwise known as Street Star Norbes.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Norbes filed an 80-page, $40 million lawsuit detailing almost every battle that the URL has produced or that he promoted using the marquee franchise title, The Proving Grounds.

Norbes claimed he was one of the partners/owners of the league that gave the culture “Summer Madness,” “NOME,” and “Kings vs. Queens.”

According to court documents observed by AllHipHop.com, the Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division rules that Norbes is not a co-owner of the “world’s most respect battle rap league.”

The court’s decision reads in part, “We reject the plaintiff’s contentions that in the amended complaint, he adequately pleaded a partnership claim by alleging that he and the defendants’ not only agreed to share profits and losses equally but did so,’ and by alleging ‘specific events whereby the parties shared in profits and losses.’

“The paragraphs of the amended complaint he cites, to the extent they mention losses, do not allege an agreement for the sharing of losses,” it further notes. “Rather, the amended complaint merely alleges, in a manner as conclusory as in the original complaint, that the parties shared profits and losses on an equal basis. These allegations fall short,” the ruling read. 

The ruling also said that URL never misrepresented Norbes’ role with the company and that the only people referring to him as a “partner” were “third parties or by the plaintiff himself,” the decision noted.

Norbes’ claim was “properly dismissed” and is not entitled to any monetary damages.

What does all this mean? 

After viewing all the evidence presented by both sides, The Supreme Court ruled that the battle league’s legal owners are Troy “Smack White” Mitchell, Eric Beasley, and Jean “Cheeko” French.

The presiding justices dismissed all 11 claims by Norbes. 

Check out the decision in its entirety.

YNW Melly “Weeping” Over “Mistreatment, Discrimination & Misuse Of Authority” In Jail

YNW Melly has been locked up on two charges of first-degree murder since February 2019. Now, he’s claiming he’s suffering unfair conditions behind bars. In an extensive Instagram post shared to his account on Saturday (December 3), Melly talked about being sequestered from his family and the mental toll it was taking.

“In the picture taken over a year ago, I am smiling, but as I speak to you from my cell at this very moment I am weeping in the present,” Melly wrote. “I have been mute for years about the mistreatment, discrimination and misuse of authority, mentally and emotionally abuse. I have been suffering and in fear. BSO staff Captain Archibald Hubert, XO Jean Baptiste and XO Jenkins are a few names of high ranked staff that have enforced this treatment.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/Clt9RcmvLu0/?hl=en

Melly also claimed on April 8 he was banned from using the phone “indefinitely” after he admittedly used another inmate’s pin.

“Usually when someone gets disciplined for this it is usually for 30 days,” he continued. “It is now going on 8 months. No other inmate in this jail is being treated this way. I haven’t spoken to family, friends, managers and accountants for months at a time.”

Melly went on to say the lack of communication with his family has led him into a “deep depression,” especially with Christmas approaching. He concluded: “I am innocent until proven guilty and I have all rights to talk to my family. Whoever took my privileges has a personal vendetta towards me. This is true mistreatment and discrimination plus pain and suffering. I cannot do my time like this awaiting trial, being secluded because of my celebrity status and my social media following.”

In November, an appellate court judge said prosecutors can still seek the death penalty against Melly. Earlier this year, a lower court judge determined prosecutors failed to properly notify Melly and his legal team about the intent to seek the death penalty—but a Florida appeals court disagreed. The appellate court judge deemed the death penalty debate in Melly’s case to be a question of “great public importance” for the Florida Supreme Court.

Melly continues to await trial after pleading not guilty to first-degree murder charges. Prosecutors accuse him of killing Christopher Thomas Jr. and Anthony Williams in 2018.

Oakland rapper Too Short’s career produced albums that charted in each of the past five decades, and he has cemented himself in Hip-Hop to the world as a West Coast legend. Still, it is nice to have a monument of your legacy lifted in your hometown, and what better way than for the neighborhood that you grew up in to honor you with a street naming?

The Town’s City Council is moving to rename a three-block stretch of Foothill Boulevard, between High Street and 47th Avenue, to “Too Short Way,” according to Datebook.

Councilmember Noel Gallo will introduce the resolution at the Tuesday, Dec. 6, meeting.

This meeting seems to be a formality, as the rapper already said it’s official.

Doja Cat Defends Her Blackness – Again

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Doja Cat has responded to the accusation she grew up with no Black influences in her life.

The 27-year-old, real name Amala Dlamini, has a white Jewish mother and is estranged from her Black South African father.

And because Doja grew up with her mom and maternal grandmother, she has been accused of having no Black influences in her life.

“I read something the other day where someone said I was never surrounded by Black people, and I have no Black influence in my life, which is so unbelievably crazy to me,” she told Dazed magazine. “Growing up on the land, it was all Black energy. My family was Black. My mom was the only real white influence in my life. 

“It’s easy to make assumptions about people you don’t know. I don’t think people are trying to destroy my light or make me unhappy; I think it’s just that they don’t know,” Doja Cat added. 

Doja spent the first five years of her life with her grandmother in New York City before moving back to her home state of California.

Around the age of eight, the pop star moved with her mother and brother to Sai Anantam Ashram, a community in the Santa Monica mountains founded by Black jazz musician Alice Coltrane. 

While there, she worked the land and sang chants with Alice.

“That had a huge conscious and subconscious influence on me,” Doja Cat shared. “Every Sunday, we would go to the temple and sing bhajans (chants) with Alice and all the people on the land. I’m happy to have come from such a special part of the culture; I loved all the musical influences around me. It was amazing to have Alice in my presence as a kid.”

EXCLUSIVE: Bankroll Freddie Accused Of Moving Kilos Of Drugs—But All He Cares About Is His Jewelry

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: Exclusives

Bankroll Freddie is being accused of moving hundreds of kilos of cocaine and marijuana as part of his ongoing RICO case—but all he cares about is getting his jewelry back.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the Quality Control/Motown Records rapper is being charged with “conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and at least 100 kilograms but less than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana and other drug and firearm offenses.” In two different wiretapped conversations, Bankroll Freddie allegedly spoke about how lucrative his side hustle was.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClSIaqluq16/?hl=en

A new motion, filed by United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas Jonathan D. Ross, and Assistant United States Attorneys Julie Peters and Amanda Fields, is asking a judge to deny Bankroll Freddie’s request for return of property. Evidently, Freddie wanted the jewelry seized in the April 2022 traffic stop that led to his arrest returned. He and his attorneys claimed the United States wasn’t adhering to a 60-day deadline to return his property. But Ross, Peters and Fields beg to differ.

“This Court should deny [Freddie’s] request for return of property for multiple reasons,” the docs read. “First, the charges in this case have been dismissed, and the property at issue relates to an ongoing matter pending in front of Judge Moody. This dispute should be decided in that case. Second, the property is an item sought for forfeiture in the ongoing case.

“Finally, the jewelry is evidence in the ongoing criminal prosecution. To the extent the motion relies on Title 18, United States Code, Section 983, it fails because that statue is inapplicable. [Freddie’s] motion should be denied.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CkykufuPnVp/?hl=en

Bankroll Freddie was arrested during the aforementioned traffic stop after Arkansas State Police stopped the 28-year-old for speeding. After detecting the smell of weed coming from his vehicle, the officer asked Freddie to get out of the car. Although he initially complied, he began to resist the officer’s commands so they threatened to tase him.

Ultimately, another officer was able to pull Freddie out of the car by his feet and get him to the ground. Once in custody, a search of the vehicle turned up a large stack of cash (later determined to be $33,662), a Glock handgun without a serial number, Draco-style pistol, two large bags of vacuum-sealed marijuana (weighing about 21.4 pounds) and jewelry. Freddie’s personal property was seized that day, including the jewelry in question.

But it turned out Freddie had more serious problems. On November 9, Bankroll Freddie was named in a sweeping 61-page indictment along with 34 other defendants, including his father. Officials say the alleged gang members “voluntarily and intentionally conspired” together to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine, meth and marijuana. Together, they are facing 16 federal charges. Bankroll Freddie remains behind bars.

Kanye West associate and known white nationalist, Nick Fuentes, engaged in a full-on food fight at a Los Angeles In-N-Out on Saturday (December 3). According to TMZ, a couple approached Fuentes inside the restaurant and an argument ensued. As their dispute escalated, the man threw a ketchup-filled paper cup at Fuentes and attempted to storm out. That’s when Fuentes picked up a drink and tossed it across the popular fast food joint, splashing everyone in its path but missing his target.

In another video, a women behind the camera claimed Fuentes lied about who he was. She shouted, “F### Nick Fuentes! You racist!” as he walked out.

Fuentes has been making headlines lately due to his recent dinner date with Kanye West and Donald Trump, both of whom intend to run for president (again) in 2024. The three controversial figures had a meeting of the minds at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Miami last month.

Trump spoke unfavorably of the reunion, taking to Truth Social to explain he initially met with West in order to “help” him after he was “decimated in his business and virtually everything else.”

The former president said Ye asked him to be his running mate in the 2024 election, which angered him. He later added, “[Kanye] tried to f### me. He’s crazy. He can’t beat me […] I told him don’t run for office, a total waste of time, can’t win.”

More recently, Kanye West appeared on Alex Jones’s Info Wars and declared he he saw good in Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. He was later suspended from Twitter for posting a Star of David with a s####### inside.

Akon Backs Kanye West Amid Hitler Controversy: “Those Comments Don’t Really Affect Me Personally”

Akon was a recent guest on Sky News where he was asked about Kanye West’s controversial remarks regarding Hitler and the Nazi party. Speaking on the subject, the “Soul Survivor” singer expressed his belief in First Amendment rights for everyone.

“I show support for opinion and I think people will always have a specific opinion,” he said. “The moment we get to a place where we close our minds up to other people’s opinions, it kind of doesn’t allow us to get to better know each other, better know our mindsets and more than anything, better know our movements. I think sometimes we kinda pre-judge people from the way that we may see or view things.

“I think sometimes we should just open up our minds, let things play all the way out and better understand the situation so we have a better solution for it.”

He continued: “I’m a backer of the right to believe what you want to believe. Now, the day me and him have a conversation, I will give him my point of view on why I disagree and he may come back and say, ‘You know what? You’re right. Or he may and say I’m not. I think conversation and communication is always the key.”

Akon also admitted Kanye West‘s comments don’t really bother him, adding, “Those comments don’t really affect me personally, and I think if everyone takes it that way, then it’s different. And if it does affect you personally, then find a way to respond in a way that that conversation can be reciprocated.”

West has been more or less ostracized by Hollywood since tweeting he was going to go “Death con 3 on Jews.” He doubled down on his harmful rhetoric by telling Alex Jones, “I see good things about Hitler also. I love everyone. Jewish people are not going to tell me you can love us, and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.

“But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that.”

West has since been suspended by Twitter CEO Elon Musk for posting a Star of David with a s####### inside.

He met with Click 2 Houston to talk about the event and his intimate connection to the special needs community. 

His 19-year-old son, NDeeko, was born with a chromosome 13 abnormality, prompting the star and his child’s mother Anika to form a nonprofit to create safe spaces for individuals with special needs and their families to find resources, network, and have fun “without being judged” because they are differently abled.

The event registered over 1,000 people, and Trae wanted more people to come, despite being nervous because of how massive the event was.

Barbers, nail techs, obstacle courses, bouncy houses, fancy cars for the kids to post up in provided entertainment, and Iceman Nick, a jeweler, who let the kids try on some bling.

Invited guests included the Head of the Special Olympics and the city’s mayor. 

Trae was clear that the young people were the events’ stars, and their families and caretakers got to see others in the city without feeling alone with their struggles.
