Speaker 1 (00:00):
Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.
We are the breakfast club. We got our family member
on the line. Friend to the room and ain't nor
come on in. Good morning man. You know I'm up
every morning listening to y'alls, just so y'all know he
(00:20):
keep my skills shoppiate. Nory said he wanted to call in.
What's the word? Nor what you talked to us? You
know you know, Um, I just want to be honest.
I support freedom of speech. I support anybody you know,
not being sensive, but I do not support anybody being hurt.
I did not realize that the George Floyd's statements on
(00:43):
my show was so hurtful, and you gotta realize it
was the first five minutes of the show. Like when
he walked in, he told my producer, he said that
if if he he'll stop um filmen, that he'll walk out.
So I didn't want I didn't want a bird Man moment.
I didn't want a Birdman moment with y'all, like you
know when Birdman walked out. So I wanted the man
(01:05):
to speak. But later on, like I actually checked him
about George Floyd's comments. I actually checked him about the
White Lives matters, but it was so later in the episode,
and it was so it was so like, you know,
I was already at nebriated at that time that maybe
people looked over it. But I apologize to the George
Floyd family. I apologize that anybody ever hurt by Kanye
(01:27):
West um climents. Although I do supports free speech, I
am black, black, and I'm with Jamika Mallory, I'm with
I would I would have told freedom, I'm with my song,
That's who I am. In fact, I called my song
and asked for a shirt because that's what I wanted
to have on when um Kanye said he was he
(01:47):
was coming through here. We actually we actually posted it
and then saw that this was the wrong edit, took
it down, and then it got reposted again with those
same comments that was there. So it's a it's a
mistake on our behalf, on our team behalf, because we
don't edit nothing. I think NB done Drink Champs, Sally
(02:09):
Charlemagne has done Drink Champs, and we literally don't edit nothing.
But but we will start from here on the album
because we understand that there's people that's hurt out there. Yeah,
I think it's not a freedom of speech. It's more
like a misinformation. It's not a misinformation. What he said
about George Floyd was a lie. What Kanye West said
(02:30):
about George Floyd dying of fentonol and not the physical
and impact of the officer Derek Chauvin was just a
bold faced lie. And by the way, guys, you know,
I'm not I'm not. This is not Big Chance. This
is drink Champ. You know what I'm saying. This is
not political Champs. This is great drink Champ. So we
we purposely don't bring up politics, We purposely don't bring
(02:51):
up religion the course of this. And I just you know,
I disagreed with Kanye. I felt like I should have
said something a lot earlier. I didn't because I didn't
want him to walk out. I didn't want to have
a Birdman moment, you know. So so Nora, you know,
people would say that, you know, we're talking to Nori
(03:13):
body from from Drink Champs. Of course, he just released
an interview with Kanye. P Hee would say, well, why
do the interview at all, especially with all the hate
speech that he's been spewing the last couple of days.
And you know he think you had Fox News, You
had Fox, You had Tucker Carlson edit out all his
anti Semitic comments. Saw the shops say that they wasn't
gonna put out the hate speech. We saw all the
things Kanye was texting and I mean tweeting and everything else.
(03:35):
Why even do the interview at all? Why? Yeah, why
even you know, do the interview? You know, you know
that's a great question. And the thing is, you know, um,
that's like, it's like people talking about Charlemagne. People talking
about Charlemagne and say Charlemagne is an asshole, Charlemagne is
a dick. But then Charlemagne doesn't sow that to me.
So I gotta I gotta treat Charlemagne how Charlemagne treats me.
(03:56):
If Charlemagne treats me like a gentleman, that I'm gonna
think Charlemagne has element. I don't understand charlemagne rhetoric when
he's not around me, You understand I'm saying. And that's
that's that's that's pretty clearly what it was. I did
not think and other than the George Floyd comment, I
thought I thought I couldn't up in a very great interview.
You know what I'm saying. I thought that he laughed,
(04:16):
he smiled, he drank, he smoked. You know, this is
eight o'clock in the morning. And but yeah, no, I
don't don't say that though, because he said a lot
of he still said a lot of anti Semitic rhetoric
in the in the interview as well. You know what
I mean. Yes, And if you look by the way,
I had four Jewish people there. Steve Rifkin was in
the room. Steve Ripken, who who signed who came clan
(04:37):
was in the room. My friend Eric, who is Jewish,
is in the room. My friend Diego, who was Jewish,
was in the room. And I looked at them to
tell them, like, YO, tell me whenever he's going across
the line. And that's just they're looking in and they're saying, Okay,
we understand where he's coming from. But none of it.
I don't support none of it. I don't support the
George folks comments and don't support the antist That's all
(04:59):
I I have as Jewish friends, and all I have
is Black friends. That's it. So um nori. I was
gonna ask you when it comes to these George Floyd comments,
we see their family maybe suing. Is that gonna include
you in this law suit? Did you hear about that?
I definitely heard about it, And um, this is the
reason why I'm stepping up is because it's not even
about suing all the money. It's about the Hurst food thing. Man.
(05:21):
You know what I mean. I was locked down. I
was I was supported the George Floyd movement. I saw
that video too, you know what I mean, Like I've
seen that cops knee on his neck. I seen him
colding out for whoever. So I'm embarrassed with myself, you
know what I'm saying, because I bet my bad. I've
done this interviews before where I come back and I
(05:45):
redeem myself, and on this one, I waited too long.
I waited too long to actually address him. I spoke
to Kanye yesterday morning. I told him, I'm gonna do this,
but I'm also gonna, you know, with shoot these comments
because I was disgusted by it, as if I wasn't
even in the room when I heard it. When I
heard it, I was like, wait a minute, Damn, I
was there. And again, I'm just trying to be a journalist.
(06:06):
I'm saying, you know what, we just won an award.
I want people to know that we won the award
because we deserve it. So I'm sitting there thinking about it.
I heard Stephen Jackson say something about me, and I'm like,
you know what, I'm not even going back at Stephen Jackson.
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not gonna make up a bottle.
I'm gonna tell that brother you write because I should
have checked him. I should have. I should have, and
I eventually did. But by the time I checked him,
(06:28):
I was already inebriated. So you're not you know, you're
not hearing the sincerity in my voice. Even if you
go look at it, you can see that Nori is
very serious. It's just that Norris also he's also drunk
at the same time, and just called drink champ. It's
not called politics champ. What are you gonna do that?
Move forward? Yeah, to move forward? Are there other interviews
that you plan to do to kind of combat this?
(06:49):
What are you planning to do? Because I see you
reaching out on Twitter to people as you feel like
you need to come up. Sean King. You know, John King,
I want Sean King to come up. I want doctor Umar,
I want I want to Quali, I want David Van.
I want to kill the Mike because they all know,
they all know where my heart is. They all know
that I'm on black Twitter. They all know I'm on
(07:10):
them black you know, you know and two Freedom a
group chats. They all know that. You know what I'm saying.
The fact is I didn't I didn't fail. I didn't fail.
I don't want to. I don't want to see Drink
Champs go down that path. I like Drink Champs being
the happy podcast that it is. And what you tried
to do, what you tried to do was give hip
hop culture voice. But the reality is he don't need
(07:32):
that right now. That's not what we should be giving
a voice to right now. That we shouldn't be. We
shouldn't have had Kanye on the platform to begin with,
not at a time like this, with the rhetoric that
he's viewing. Nah. Well yeah, I agree, I agree. I agree.
I really did try. I really did try, and um,
I try to give him one voice. I try to
give him a voice. I try to give one platform.
(07:54):
I try to do that, but you know, I realized
my political stance may not be correct. You know what
I'm saying, I agree the right place. What about it?
Puff reach out to you? Um, you know, I'll tell
you this. At first, I was disappointed in brother Love
because Brother Love called me and said, well did he
diss me? And I was just like, wait a minute,
(08:15):
you know it's so much bigger than you. And then
he called me back and he said, you know what,
let's let's let's let's support free speaking is what freethinking.
Let's support it and it's not freethinking though. That's the
other thing. We got to stop saying it's not free
thinking when all you're doing is repeating white supremacists talking points,
you're repeating black Israelite talking points like Kanye West is
(08:36):
not a free thinker. We gotta stop saying that there's
nothing free about his thoughts at all. What's crazy about
it is. That's crazy about it is I don't even
think he believes that, you know what I'm saying, That's
my point. He said, he's saying everything he's heard other
people already say. That's not freethinking, Like I think. I
think he supports the wild factor, like the fact that
you he could have a confenacy. People go wow, and
(09:00):
then you have a maga hat on people go wow.
But then you ask him, do you do you do
you do? Do you promote this confederacy? Do you promote
the Trump uh campaign? And then you ask him and
he won't even give you something about the Trump campaign.
He won't even tell you. It's because I think that
it's the wow factor. And I think that's the reason
why people supporting him for so long. Whether it's been
(09:22):
a speakers but it's been whatever. Don't get it wrong.
I love Kanye West. I love Kanye. Kanye has done
things for me. You know, He's really a great person. Um.
The ideology about you know, um um a black people
with Jewish people, it's not correct. The sympimis that he
said about George Floyd. It's not correct. And I do
(09:43):
not stand board him when it comes to that. But
you know, you know, um, I just don't want to
give up on him. I wouldn't give up on you,
vy Vy. You told me you were voted for million
dollars worth of game on VC Awards. I don't want
to give up on NV. I know right now, you
know what I'm saying, Like I know that I know
that he might be thinking, you know, sirs herb on
(10:05):
the low. I'm not sure, but empty that's my brother.
But you can tell you can tell your brother when
he's wrong. Though. Absolutely I definitely told him he was wrong,
and I definitely told MVY that when he you use
clips of Boosey and you don't shout out drinks that listen,
I try to shout you out all the time. Nor
let me ask you this. Do you think that Kanye
(10:27):
is having some type of breakdown? Because I know people
talk about his mental health and people around him, they say,
are very concerned about his mental health. What are your thoughts? Yes,
I do believe he's having a mentor breakdown. But then
I gotta be honest with you. I could have a
straight conversation with him, and he helped talk to me
with nothing but sense. Kanye knows exactly what he's doing, y'all.
(10:50):
I don't know why. I don't know why we keep
trying to shoot him all this bail. Kanye knows exactly
what he's doing. And by the way, two things can
be true. You can be dealing with mental health issues
and you can be a bigot. You could be dealing
with dealing with health issues and be a black white supremacist.
You could be dealing with mental health issues and still
be lying on how George Floyd got killed. Yeah. And
also they were saying that Candice Owens has a huge
(11:10):
influence and part of everything he's saying. Do you agree
with that as well? Um? Well, I don't. I don't
agree with any I don't agree with anybody um or
with his audiology, I don't. I can't say this candis Owens.
I can't say it's Trump. I gotta say this is
the word factor, this is the ins factor. It's like
he gets like he gets a kicked out of doing
(11:32):
something that that you say is raw being a contrarian.
A lot of people like being a contrarian. And by
the way, did you see that even Donald Trump says
Kanye West is acting too crazy and needs help. Yep, yeah,
that's that's what I said. I gotta step up. Let's
let's put the ball on it. Nor you feel like
you made a mistake with the Kanye interview. That's number one.
(11:55):
And by the way, by the way, by the way,
I could come on here and say, guess what, God,
that's how Kanye think and that's it, and and guess what,
people will forgive me and let me get away with that.
But that's not what I'm doing. I felt my people.
I feel like I felt my people. This is what
I wanted to do. Sharle Maintain called me and say
called of the members club. I called Shall the man
and said, I would like to apologize to my people
(12:16):
because after me hearing it, because I don't I don't
watch my own interviews. By the way, I'm that great,
you know what I mean. I'm that great that I
don't watch my own interviews. But when I watched this one,
I cringed, I crene and I and I felt terrible.
So I have to I have to say sorry. I
have to say sorry to anybody that was hurt by
his red to ring, anybody that was hurt by his speech,
anybody that ever was hurt. I want to apologize with
(12:37):
George Floyd family. I want to apologize to speak of Jackson.
I want to apologize to everybody that was hurt for
me letting that man say something on my platform, because,
by the way, can turn the popular belief. We own
drink camps, we own our IPO. So the person to plame,
the person to blame is us. I'm not gonna blame
Ea Fenn. I'm not gonna blame pump Daddy as you
guys actually earlier. I'm actually gonna say, you know what,
(13:00):
six years of this, I don't have the excuse something
that I'm not a journalist. I have. I have responsibility
that I have to come and I have to say
I'm sorry because my people will support me. So I
do not want my people um feeling like that I
didn't step up at the time. But if you watch
the whole three hours, thirty eight minutes interview, I represent
for George Floyd five six seven times. I represent for
(13:23):
black people five six seven times. Like I told hey,
Nor like I told you, you should have put all
that out first. Then, by the way, no, I didn't.
I didn't. You know what it is, Charlot, Maine Waller
Alert came and they took they took the cliff and
then they ran with it. I can't be mad at
border Alert when they're taking the cliff. Now that's working
against me, because I'd be happy at Border Alert when
(13:44):
they take a cliff that works with me, you understand.
So I couldn't. I couldn't really do it. I had
to I had to die by the sword. But and
also and Nori, as you you know, as your friend
and as your business partner. I told you last week,
don't do this. It's not worth the trouble, told you
this twice before. We appreciate you for checking in. Brother.
(14:04):
Hold On, hold on, hold on. I did not know
he's gonna go there, Charlot Magne. You had to know,
nor he's been doing it all week. Now. I just did.
I just by the way, By the way, if you
watch the interview, there is a certain respect that you
can see that Kanye has for me. There's a certain
respect and you can see I have for Kanye. So
I did not think that this rhetoric print over my head.
For bottom line, to anybody that was hurt, I apologize.
(14:28):
I'm moving forward with dropping take off in Cuble this week.
Uh uh. I apologize for I know I'm not until freedom.
I know I'm not. I know if people don't look
at me like my song. But but my heart is
my song. You know what I'm saying. My heart is
to Mika. You know what I'm saying. So but for
next time, I'm gonna listen to you. Charlot Magne, and
I'm not gonna have this on or if it's gonna
(14:51):
have it on, I'm gonna address it at the time
be fashioned. It deserves to be addressed. So for anybody
that was hurt by Kanye's comment, I'm not apologizing for Kanye.
I'm I apologize it for his his his his speech.
I'm apologizing before you're apologizing for having him on. You
are you're apologizing for having him on? Yeah? Me, me, Yeah,
I don't think he I don't know if he's apologize.
(15:12):
And I know he's apologizing because I supposed to him
yesterday morning and he was like, hell, I think that
part was supposed to go out, And I said, yes,
it was supposed to go out. So, um, is it
out now or is it still in an interview that's posted. Um,
I have no idea because, like I said, I I
mean take it out. I tried to take it out
(15:32):
like again, and I just think y'all. I think y'all
should take the whole thing down. Man, Listen. I think
that's where we're coming to. We're coming to the conclusion
of what we're gonna do. I's gonna move forward again again.
I still I still respect freedom of speech. I think
freedom of speech and would be free, but I think
that this is this is the limit where we kind
(15:54):
of went too far, where he kind of went too far,
and we all response to let's be let it on
our platform. I'm embarrassed. I do not stand by uh
any rhetoric like that, but I want to apologize for
even being stupid enough to not to not watch this
episode prior today coming out. So I'm truly sorry. We
(16:16):
love you, thank you, thank you, thank y'all, thank y'all.
All right, one love y'all. All right. That was Nori
drink Champ
Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.
We are the breakfast club. We got our family member
on the line. Friend to the room and ain't nor
come on in. Good morning man. You know I'm up
every morning listening to y'alls, just so y'all know he
(00:20):
keep my skills shoppiate. Nory said he wanted to call in.
What's the word? Nor what you talked to us? You
know you know, Um, I just want to be honest.
I support freedom of speech. I support anybody you know,
not being sensive, but I do not support anybody being hurt.
I did not realize that the George Floyd's statements on
(00:43):
my show was so hurtful, and you gotta realize it
was the first five minutes of the show. Like when
he walked in, he told my producer, he said that
if if he he'll stop um filmen, that he'll walk out.
So I didn't want I didn't want a bird Man moment.
I didn't want a Birdman moment with y'all, like you
know when Birdman walked out. So I wanted the man
(01:05):
to speak. But later on, like I actually checked him
about George Floyd's comments. I actually checked him about the
White Lives matters, but it was so later in the episode,
and it was so it was so like, you know,
I was already at nebriated at that time that maybe
people looked over it. But I apologize to the George
Floyd family. I apologize that anybody ever hurt by Kanye
(01:27):
West um climents. Although I do supports free speech, I
am black, black, and I'm with Jamika Mallory, I'm with
I would I would have told freedom, I'm with my song,
That's who I am. In fact, I called my song
and asked for a shirt because that's what I wanted
to have on when um Kanye said he was he
(01:47):
was coming through here. We actually we actually posted it
and then saw that this was the wrong edit, took
it down, and then it got reposted again with those
same comments that was there. So it's a it's a
mistake on our behalf, on our team behalf, because we
don't edit nothing. I think NB done Drink Champs, Sally
(02:09):
Charlemagne has done Drink Champs, and we literally don't edit nothing.
But but we will start from here on the album
because we understand that there's people that's hurt out there. Yeah,
I think it's not a freedom of speech. It's more
like a misinformation. It's not a misinformation. What he said
about George Floyd was a lie. What Kanye West said
(02:30):
about George Floyd dying of fentonol and not the physical
and impact of the officer Derek Chauvin was just a
bold faced lie. And by the way, guys, you know,
I'm not I'm not. This is not Big Chance. This
is drink Champ. You know what I'm saying. This is
not political Champs. This is great drink Champ. So we
we purposely don't bring up politics, We purposely don't bring
(02:51):
up religion the course of this. And I just you know,
I disagreed with Kanye. I felt like I should have
said something a lot earlier. I didn't because I didn't
want him to walk out. I didn't want to have
a Birdman moment, you know. So so Nora, you know,
people would say that, you know, we're talking to Nori
(03:13):
body from from Drink Champs. Of course, he just released
an interview with Kanye. P Hee would say, well, why
do the interview at all, especially with all the hate
speech that he's been spewing the last couple of days.
And you know he think you had Fox News, You
had Fox, You had Tucker Carlson edit out all his
anti Semitic comments. Saw the shops say that they wasn't
gonna put out the hate speech. We saw all the
things Kanye was texting and I mean tweeting and everything else.
(03:35):
Why even do the interview at all? Why? Yeah, why
even you know, do the interview? You know, you know
that's a great question. And the thing is, you know, um,
that's like, it's like people talking about Charlemagne. People talking
about Charlemagne and say Charlemagne is an asshole, Charlemagne is
a dick. But then Charlemagne doesn't sow that to me.
So I gotta I gotta treat Charlemagne how Charlemagne treats me.
(03:56):
If Charlemagne treats me like a gentleman, that I'm gonna
think Charlemagne has element. I don't understand charlemagne rhetoric when
he's not around me, You understand I'm saying. And that's
that's that's that's pretty clearly what it was. I did
not think and other than the George Floyd comment, I
thought I thought I couldn't up in a very great interview.
You know what I'm saying. I thought that he laughed,
(04:16):
he smiled, he drank, he smoked. You know, this is
eight o'clock in the morning. And but yeah, no, I
don't don't say that though, because he said a lot
of he still said a lot of anti Semitic rhetoric
in the in the interview as well. You know what
I mean. Yes, And if you look by the way,
I had four Jewish people there. Steve Rifkin was in
the room. Steve Ripken, who who signed who came clan
(04:37):
was in the room. My friend Eric, who is Jewish,
is in the room. My friend Diego, who was Jewish,
was in the room. And I looked at them to
tell them, like, YO, tell me whenever he's going across
the line. And that's just they're looking in and they're saying, Okay,
we understand where he's coming from. But none of it.
I don't support none of it. I don't support the
George folks comments and don't support the antist That's all
(04:59):
I I have as Jewish friends, and all I have
is Black friends. That's it. So um nori. I was
gonna ask you when it comes to these George Floyd comments,
we see their family maybe suing. Is that gonna include
you in this law suit? Did you hear about that?
I definitely heard about it, And um, this is the
reason why I'm stepping up is because it's not even
about suing all the money. It's about the Hurst food thing. Man.
(05:21):
You know what I mean. I was locked down. I
was I was supported the George Floyd movement. I saw
that video too, you know what I mean, Like I've
seen that cops knee on his neck. I seen him
colding out for whoever. So I'm embarrassed with myself, you
know what I'm saying, because I bet my bad. I've
done this interviews before where I come back and I
(05:45):
redeem myself, and on this one, I waited too long.
I waited too long to actually address him. I spoke
to Kanye yesterday morning. I told him, I'm gonna do this,
but I'm also gonna, you know, with shoot these comments
because I was disgusted by it, as if I wasn't
even in the room when I heard it. When I
heard it, I was like, wait a minute, Damn, I
was there. And again, I'm just trying to be a journalist.
(06:06):
I'm saying, you know what, we just won an award.
I want people to know that we won the award
because we deserve it. So I'm sitting there thinking about it.
I heard Stephen Jackson say something about me, and I'm like,
you know what, I'm not even going back at Stephen Jackson.
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not gonna make up a bottle.
I'm gonna tell that brother you write because I should
have checked him. I should have. I should have, and
I eventually did. But by the time I checked him,
(06:28):
I was already inebriated. So you're not you know, you're
not hearing the sincerity in my voice. Even if you
go look at it, you can see that Nori is
very serious. It's just that Norris also he's also drunk
at the same time, and just called drink champ. It's
not called politics champ. What are you gonna do that?
Move forward? Yeah, to move forward? Are there other interviews
that you plan to do to kind of combat this?
(06:49):
What are you planning to do? Because I see you
reaching out on Twitter to people as you feel like
you need to come up. Sean King. You know, John King,
I want Sean King to come up. I want doctor Umar,
I want I want to Quali, I want David Van.
I want to kill the Mike because they all know,
they all know where my heart is. They all know
that I'm on black Twitter. They all know I'm on
(07:10):
them black you know, you know and two Freedom a
group chats. They all know that. You know what I'm saying.
The fact is I didn't I didn't fail. I didn't fail.
I don't want to. I don't want to see Drink
Champs go down that path. I like Drink Champs being
the happy podcast that it is. And what you tried
to do, what you tried to do was give hip
hop culture voice. But the reality is he don't need
(07:32):
that right now. That's not what we should be giving
a voice to right now. That we shouldn't be. We
shouldn't have had Kanye on the platform to begin with,
not at a time like this, with the rhetoric that
he's viewing. Nah. Well yeah, I agree, I agree. I agree.
I really did try. I really did try, and um,
I try to give him one voice. I try to
give him a voice. I try to give one platform.
(07:54):
I try to do that, but you know, I realized
my political stance may not be correct. You know what
I'm saying, I agree the right place. What about it?
Puff reach out to you? Um, you know, I'll tell
you this. At first, I was disappointed in brother Love
because Brother Love called me and said, well did he
diss me? And I was just like, wait a minute,
(08:15):
you know it's so much bigger than you. And then
he called me back and he said, you know what,
let's let's let's let's support free speaking is what freethinking.
Let's support it and it's not freethinking though. That's the
other thing. We got to stop saying it's not free
thinking when all you're doing is repeating white supremacists talking points,
you're repeating black Israelite talking points like Kanye West is
(08:36):
not a free thinker. We gotta stop saying that there's
nothing free about his thoughts at all. What's crazy about
it is. That's crazy about it is I don't even
think he believes that, you know what I'm saying, That's
my point. He said, he's saying everything he's heard other
people already say. That's not freethinking, Like I think. I
think he supports the wild factor, like the fact that
you he could have a confenacy. People go wow, and
(09:00):
then you have a maga hat on people go wow.
But then you ask him, do you do you do
you do? Do you promote this confederacy? Do you promote
the Trump uh campaign? And then you ask him and
he won't even give you something about the Trump campaign.
He won't even tell you. It's because I think that
it's the wow factor. And I think that's the reason
why people supporting him for so long. Whether it's been
(09:22):
a speakers but it's been whatever. Don't get it wrong.
I love Kanye West. I love Kanye. Kanye has done
things for me. You know, He's really a great person. Um.
The ideology about you know, um um a black people
with Jewish people, it's not correct. The sympimis that he
said about George Floyd. It's not correct. And I do
(09:43):
not stand board him when it comes to that. But
you know, you know, um, I just don't want to
give up on him. I wouldn't give up on you,
vy Vy. You told me you were voted for million
dollars worth of game on VC Awards. I don't want
to give up on NV. I know right now, you
know what I'm saying, Like I know that I know
that he might be thinking, you know, sirs herb on
(10:05):
the low. I'm not sure, but empty that's my brother.
But you can tell you can tell your brother when
he's wrong. Though. Absolutely I definitely told him he was wrong,
and I definitely told MVY that when he you use
clips of Boosey and you don't shout out drinks that listen,
I try to shout you out all the time. Nor
let me ask you this. Do you think that Kanye
(10:27):
is having some type of breakdown? Because I know people
talk about his mental health and people around him, they say,
are very concerned about his mental health. What are your thoughts? Yes,
I do believe he's having a mentor breakdown. But then
I gotta be honest with you. I could have a
straight conversation with him, and he helped talk to me
with nothing but sense. Kanye knows exactly what he's doing, y'all.
(10:50):
I don't know why. I don't know why we keep
trying to shoot him all this bail. Kanye knows exactly
what he's doing. And by the way, two things can
be true. You can be dealing with mental health issues
and you can be a bigot. You could be dealing
with dealing with health issues and be a black white supremacist.
You could be dealing with mental health issues and still
be lying on how George Floyd got killed. Yeah. And
also they were saying that Candice Owens has a huge
(11:10):
influence and part of everything he's saying. Do you agree
with that as well? Um? Well, I don't. I don't
agree with any I don't agree with anybody um or
with his audiology, I don't. I can't say this candis Owens.
I can't say it's Trump. I gotta say this is
the word factor, this is the ins factor. It's like
he gets like he gets a kicked out of doing
(11:32):
something that that you say is raw being a contrarian.
A lot of people like being a contrarian. And by
the way, did you see that even Donald Trump says
Kanye West is acting too crazy and needs help. Yep, yeah,
that's that's what I said. I gotta step up. Let's
let's put the ball on it. Nor you feel like
you made a mistake with the Kanye interview. That's number one.
(11:55):
And by the way, by the way, by the way,
I could come on here and say, guess what, God,
that's how Kanye think and that's it, and and guess what,
people will forgive me and let me get away with that.
But that's not what I'm doing. I felt my people.
I feel like I felt my people. This is what
I wanted to do. Sharle Maintain called me and say
called of the members club. I called Shall the man
and said, I would like to apologize to my people
(12:16):
because after me hearing it, because I don't I don't
watch my own interviews. By the way, I'm that great,
you know what I mean. I'm that great that I
don't watch my own interviews. But when I watched this one,
I cringed, I crene and I and I felt terrible.
So I have to I have to say sorry. I
have to say sorry to anybody that was hurt by
his red to ring, anybody that was hurt by his speech,
anybody that ever was hurt. I want to apologize with
(12:37):
George Floyd family. I want to apologize to speak of Jackson.
I want to apologize to everybody that was hurt for
me letting that man say something on my platform, because,
by the way, can turn the popular belief. We own
drink camps, we own our IPO. So the person to plame,
the person to blame is us. I'm not gonna blame
Ea Fenn. I'm not gonna blame pump Daddy as you
guys actually earlier. I'm actually gonna say, you know what,
(13:00):
six years of this, I don't have the excuse something
that I'm not a journalist. I have. I have responsibility
that I have to come and I have to say
I'm sorry because my people will support me. So I
do not want my people um feeling like that I
didn't step up at the time. But if you watch
the whole three hours, thirty eight minutes interview, I represent
for George Floyd five six seven times. I represent for
(13:23):
black people five six seven times. Like I told hey,
Nor like I told you, you should have put all
that out first. Then, by the way, no, I didn't.
I didn't. You know what it is, Charlot, Maine Waller
Alert came and they took they took the cliff and
then they ran with it. I can't be mad at
border Alert when they're taking the cliff. Now that's working
against me, because I'd be happy at Border Alert when
(13:44):
they take a cliff that works with me, you understand.
So I couldn't. I couldn't really do it. I had
to I had to die by the sword. But and
also and Nori, as you you know, as your friend
and as your business partner. I told you last week,
don't do this. It's not worth the trouble, told you
this twice before. We appreciate you for checking in. Brother.
(14:04):
Hold On, hold on, hold on. I did not know
he's gonna go there, Charlot Magne. You had to know,
nor he's been doing it all week. Now. I just did.
I just by the way, By the way, if you
watch the interview, there is a certain respect that you
can see that Kanye has for me. There's a certain
respect and you can see I have for Kanye. So
I did not think that this rhetoric print over my head.
For bottom line, to anybody that was hurt, I apologize.
(14:28):
I'm moving forward with dropping take off in Cuble this week.
Uh uh. I apologize for I know I'm not until freedom.
I know I'm not. I know if people don't look
at me like my song. But but my heart is
my song. You know what I'm saying. My heart is
to Mika. You know what I'm saying. So but for
next time, I'm gonna listen to you. Charlot Magne, and
I'm not gonna have this on or if it's gonna
(14:51):
have it on, I'm gonna address it at the time
be fashioned. It deserves to be addressed. So for anybody
that was hurt by Kanye's comment, I'm not apologizing for Kanye.
I'm I apologize it for his his his his speech.
I'm apologizing before you're apologizing for having him on. You
are you're apologizing for having him on? Yeah? Me, me, Yeah,
I don't think he I don't know if he's apologize.
(15:12):
And I know he's apologizing because I supposed to him
yesterday morning and he was like, hell, I think that
part was supposed to go out, And I said, yes,
it was supposed to go out. So, um, is it
out now or is it still in an interview that's posted. Um,
I have no idea because, like I said, I I
mean take it out. I tried to take it out
(15:32):
like again, and I just think y'all. I think y'all
should take the whole thing down. Man, Listen. I think
that's where we're coming to. We're coming to the conclusion
of what we're gonna do. I's gonna move forward again again.
I still I still respect freedom of speech. I think
freedom of speech and would be free, but I think
that this is this is the limit where we kind
(15:54):
of went too far, where he kind of went too far,
and we all response to let's be let it on
our platform. I'm embarrassed. I do not stand by uh
any rhetoric like that, but I want to apologize for
even being stupid enough to not to not watch this
episode prior today coming out. So I'm truly sorry. We
(16:16):
love you, thank you, thank you, thank y'all, thank y'all.
All right, one love y'all. All right. That was Nori
