Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Kanye West got 14 kids dying every week in my city (Chicago) so talk to me about that”.
Rapper Kanye West said he did not “have enough information” when questioned about his opinion on the war in Gaza and instead suggested he be asked about Chicago, where “14 kids” are “dying every week.”
The rapper, who is now known as Ye, went viral in October 2022 for making several antisemitic comments.
“I don’t have enough information on that,” Ye said in a video shared to social media. “I’m a straight-up n**** from the South Side of Chicago, born in Atlanta. I don’t have enough information. It’s love for everybody. But don’t pull me into that conversation. I got 14 kids dying every week in my city. So seriously, talk to me about that!”
Journalists confronted Kanye, noting how the public has called him ‘crazy’ and ‘misinformed’, on Monday ahead of his travels with Bianca. It is unclear where the pair were headed, but had attended the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday.
One reporter asked him for ‘your thoughts on the Palestinians?’
‘I’m straight up with you. I’m from the south side of Chicago, born in Atlanta,’ the musician and fashion designer replied. ‘I don’t have enough information on that.’
He argued that youths are ‘dying every week in my city’ and said to ‘talk to me about that’ instead – before walking away from the press and heading towards the security check point.
