Ye sat down for a wide-ranging interview with the “Drink Champs” podcast and hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, where he discussed some controversial topics.
First, Ye discussed his controversial “White Lives Matter” T-Shirt he debuted and his comment that he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people, a statement that got him banned from Twitter.
He said Dov Charney, the CEO of Los Angeles Apparel, was ready to manufacture and distribute the White Lives Matter T-shirt, despite the uproar it caused in the black community.
But Charney halted the deal when Ye started making anti-semitic comments on Instagram and Twitter.
“And I’m like, see. This is my exact point that I’m making. Jewish people have owned the Black voice, whether it’s through us wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt, or all of us being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney,” Ye said.
“I respect what the Jewish people have done, and how they brought their people together,” the rapper said, claiming Jews came into money as lawyers on Wall Street who would divorce people when Catholics would not.
“With me and Jay with our culture, with the darker Jews, the 12 Lost Tribes of Israel, who we are, because we Jewish also. We from Africa, we the blood of Christ. So we’re not just black. We are a Jew, just like the Jewish people. And now we’re coming into money.
“But the main thing is, I got to drink the D’usse [Black owned] over the Hennessy as the first step to us coming together. Like how to Jewish people came together,” Ye said.
“I remember Ben Horowitz called me after 4:44 and said ‘I don’t know about Jay giving up Jewish business secrets.’ These secrets, they not finna be a secret no more. If somebody tells me ‘I want to tell you this, but it’s a secret.’ I’m like, ‘I’m not your personal hard drive.’ Like if you want [it] to be a secret. Don’t tell me,” Ye said.
His discussion on Jewish people did not stop there. He also discussed the role Jews have played in the music and entertainment industry and how they have supposedly held Black artists back so they could make money for the Jewish community.
“The Jewish community, especially in the music industry and entertainment period, they’ll take one of us, the brightest of us, that can feed a whole village and take us and milk us till we die. And then Stevie Wonder’s son got to get a job,” Ye explained.
“But Cameron Azoff [Irving Azoff’s son] got a job at Apple. He’s already set up because of the way [Irving] Azoff [former CEO of Live Nation] is connected. And we have to make our own connections,” the rapper said.
Ye also claimed that the Jewish-controlled media was intentionally attempting to make him look crazy due to his well-known battle with bipolar disorder.
Ye said this was highlighted in the Netflix documentary “jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” directed by his childhood friends Coodie & Chike. The Chicago native seemed particularly bothered by part 3 of the documentary, which touched on Ye’s mental health and his nervous breakdown in 2016.
“So they’ll go and get a dude that’s supposed to be my friend, and that’s been taping me the whole time, and buy this n#### out for $30 million. I ain’t co-sign it, but you get used to that. Paparazzi taking a picture you, you ain’t getting no money off it. You just get used to getting screwed by the Jewish media. And I’m saying y’all done poked the bear too f###### long. When I wore the White Lives Matter tee, I had four SoFi Stadium shows. They canceled my shows. I said it’s up.”
Ye also had some strong comments for Sean “Diddy” Combs, whom he has accused of being a pawn of the Jews. Ye also went in on Meek Mill, who criticized him for wearing the White Lives Matter shirt.
The rapper blasted them both for failing to speak up when The Kardashians “Kidnapped” his daughter North and attempted to keep him from attending her birthday party.
“I don’t got no celebrity friends. Because when I was on TV on Instagram saying, ‘I don’t know where my child is,’ and ‘the Kardashians kidnapped my daughter in public,’ and ‘I didn’t have the address to my child,’ none of these n##### that want to say something now…as far as Meek Mills, Puff Daddy, all you fake hard n##### f### you. You can’t shoot nobody anyway.
The reason why you got to talk is because you did a deal, you f###### fed. That’s why you got to come at me because part of the deal for you and…to get out of jail is that you promised that you gone to go pull my coat card. So y’all n##### shut the f### up about me. Let me say calm. You n##### shut the f### up about Michael. I’m Michael [Corleone]. I don’t get enough celebrity friends.
