Kanye West stirs more outrage with 13th Amendment, slavery tweets
(CNN) – Another day, another Kanye West controversy.
Fresh off of stirring outrage with his “Saturday Night Live” speech about President Donald Trump after the show went off the air this weekend, the rapper took to social media to offer his thoughts about the 13th Amendment.
“We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs,” West tweeted. “We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.”
The 13th Amendment was ratified in 1865 and abolished slavery.
Later Ye returned to twitter with a clarification.
“The 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise,” he tweeted. “Meaning it never ended. We are the solution that heals.”
Naturally, Twitter exploded with many people offering the same sentiment: “What the hell are you talking about?”
