Kanye says he’s been ‘used’ and is ‘distancing’ himself from politics
Yeezy goes.
The outspoken pro-Trump rapper Kanye West complained on Tuesday that he has been “used” and has decided to leave the political world to focus more on his music and design work.
West, who f
amously held a bizarre meeting with President Trump at the White House, tweeted his vision for a better world while announcing his departure from politics.
“My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in,” the “Yeezus” rapper wrote.
“I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!”
West, who went on a pro-Trump rant last month while wearing a MAGA hat on “Saturday Night Live,” tried to emphasize his “actual beliefs.”
“I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable,” he wrote.
“I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war.”
West also ripped pundit Candace Owens for putting his name on a project about African-Americans leaving the Democratic party called “Blexit.”
“I never wanted any association with Blexit,” he wrote. “I have nothing to do with it.”
Kim Kardashian Says Kanye West Is ‘Harassing’ Her to Have More Kids: ‘He Wants Like 7’
Kanye West had babies on the brain on Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
While touring her new condo-turned-office with pal Larsa Pippen, Kim Kardashian admits that her rapper husband wants to keep expanding their family.
“How did you get so lucky with all your kids?” asks Pippen, 44. “They’re all so good.”
“Kanye wants to have more, though. He’s been harassing me,” says Kardashian, 38. “He wants like seven. He’s like stuck on seven.”
She and West, 41, share daughters Chicago, 8 months, and North, 5, and son Saint, 2.
“Okay, he needs to name his next album Seven and like lighten up on the kids situation,” Pippen cracks. “Seven kids is crazy!”
“That’s crazy. I could never, especially in like the world we live in,” says Kardashian, admitting that the onslaught of recent school shootings made her wary of bringing more lives into the world.
The slayings of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018 stuck a particular chord with the mother of three.
“I’ve been kind of hesitant about having more kids just because it literally keeps me up at night, thinking about how my kids will survive in a crazy world like this,” she says.
“I hear you. And people have been trying to kidnap, rob, take you, so that plays into all that,” Pippen says, referencing her friend’s harrowing experience being robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October 2016.
Later in the episode, Kardashian and West take North to the March to Save Lives in Washington, D.C., where the reality star feels inspired by the young activists who tell her the only way to really change America is to vote for politicians who support gun violence prevention in the midterm elections.
“I one billion percent believe that we need stricter gun laws,” Kardashian says. “We need background checks, you shouldn’t be able to walk into a store and buy a gun. And to hear that the kids have met with people numerous times and nothing’s been done is just so sad.”

Kanye West’s Pro-Republican ‘Blexit’ T-Shirts Call for Black Exodus From Democratic Party
Article via
If you’re a black person who likes hanging out with racists, you have some new fashion choices that don’t include pairing running shoes with Dockers, All Lives Matter haircuts or tucking a polo shirt into your jeans. Kanye West lent his creative skills to Candace Owen when he designed a T-shirt line for the conservative negro darling’s new website dedicated to luring black people away from the Democratic Party and into the arms of the party of white supremacists.
This weekend, Turning Points USA, the conservative organization that employs 29-year-old Candace Owens as its director of communications, held a conference for young, black conservatives who don’t mind Trump, the Republican Party or white people asking to touch their hair. The far-right youth organization is known for its conservatism, and by “conservatism,” I mean anti-blackness. Aside from it’s advocacy in the area of bootstrap-pulling, the site is known for hiring white supremacists like Crystal Clanton, who once texted a fellow TPUSA employee: “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.”
At the Young Black Leaders Summit, instead of lip balm (Why do black conservatives’ lips always look like they just finished eating powdered doughnuts? Is Chapstick owned by leftists?), Candace Owens handed out T-shirts that were reportedly designed by MAGA Kanye, Page Six reports.
The shirt features the words “Blexit” emblazoned across the front or alternately, “we free.” Blexit just happens to be Candace Owen’s new website that seeks to draw black people away from the antiquated thinking of the Democratic Party by opening their minds with testimonials from MAGA Negroes and reminding everyone that Republicans aren’t racist because Lincoln freed the slaves and Kanye hugged Donald Trump.
“Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” said Candace “Omarosa Jr.” Owens, who would likely stab Kanye in the jugular vein with a shard from a burned KKK cross if she thought it would garner her more adoration from the whites, adding that Yeezy “has taken one of the boldest steps in America to open a conversation we have needed to have.”
West did not comment on the shirt as cellular reception is very spotty in the Sunken Place.
Kanye West’s Baby’s Modeling Debut With Kim Kardashian Gets Backlash
The baby’s first commercial shoot is being criticized.
The baby’s modeling debut came quite early as she was born only 9 months ago. Her first professional shoot took place in the arms of her mother as Kardashian sports the social media star’s new eyeshadows. The baby’s look is apparently 100% natural which is appropriate given her age.
Charlamagne Tha God Says He Canceled Kanye Interview Because Kanye’s Off His Meds
Last week, radio host Charlamagne Tha God and Kanye West were meant to have a live interview for a TimesTalk on mental illness. That interview, however, was abruptly canceled just two days prior with Charlamagne saying it was his decision to scrap the interview because “to have that conversation with him right now would not be productive.” Charlamagne has now elaborated that point to Stephen Colbert, saying he doesn’t think it’s right for anyone to discuss mental health with Kanye when Kanye is no longer taking his medication for bipolar disorder, which Kanye said he was when they previously spoke on the subject earlier this year. “I think he needs to figure that out,” Charlamagne says. The decision to ax the interview came two days after Kanye met with Trump claiming to be misdiagnosed; Charlamagne then called Kanye’s people to inform them the interview was no longer happening and says they were “relieved,” but also made him break the news to Kanye himself. According to Charlamagne, Kanye’s trip to Uganda wasn’t the reason for the cancellation.

Kanye West, Brett Kavanaugh And Alex Jones Audition For Big Bird On ‘Colbert’
Actor and puppeteer Caroll Spinney is leaving his post as Big Bird after playing the role for nearly 50 years. That certainly leaves a sizable hole in the heart of “Sesame Street.” But who can possibly Spinney’s very big and oddly shaped shoes?
On Friday’s “Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” some famous would-be replacements auditioned to take over for our big feathered friend. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh brings up beer a lot during his tryout, Infowars host Alex Jones rants about conspiracy theories, and rapper Kanye West uses his time to talk about… well, Kanye West.

Kim Kardashian Admits Kanye’s Pro-Trump Stance Has Its Benefits
Hmm, Kim, do tell…
Despite Kanye West and President Trump’s increasingly chummy (and just plain baffling) relationship, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, has spoken out numerous times about how she doesn’t agree with his political ideology. She previously said, for instance, how she “cried” and “fought” over West’s comments about slavery, and also asserted that West isn’t well-informed about the intricacies surrounding Trump’s administration. However, in a new interview with Richardson magazine, Kardashian admitted the men’s relationship has afforded her opportunities that wouldn’t be otherwise possible, so she’s just going to keep her head down and try to do good.
“I am aware that Kanye speaking out in favor of Trump got me through the door — got him to pick up my call,” Kardashian explained. “I’ve always had different opinions than Kanye. But when I went there, and when I saw what could be done, I realized that I could get more done if I just stayed focused on the issue I was passionate about instead of complaining.” While not directly naming it, Kardashian was referring to her White House meeting with Trump about prison reform earlier this year, where Kardashian plead her case to grant clemency to Alice Johnson — a 63-year-old who was sentenced to life in prison without parole for a first-time, nonviolent drug offense. Trump pardoned Johnson a week later, but not before the meme factory churned out some content to forever immortalize the tête-à-tête.

Melania Trump’s Spokeswoman Calls For Boycott Of ‘Disgusting’ T.I. Video
The rapper’s music video features a look-alike of the first lady stripping in an Oval Office mockup.
Melania Trump’s spokeswoman has called for a boycott of T.I. after the rapper released a “disgusting” music video featuring a look-alike of the first lady stripping in a fake Oval Office.
“Like it or not, she is the first lady and this is the White House,” Melania Trump’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, told CNN in a statement. “It’s disrespectful and disgusting to portray her in this way simply because of politics. These kinds of vulgar attacks only further the divisiveness and bias in our country ― it needs to stop.”

“Dear 45, I ain’t Kanye,” T.I. tweeted, referring to West’s recent visit to the White House, which he previously slammed as “the most repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing act of desperation.”

Dave Chappelle stands behind ‘brother’ Kanye West amid Trump endorsement controversy
Kanye West’s highly public endorsement of President Donald Trump has sparked considerable debate, with many perplexed by the rapper’s unyielding support for the polarizing leader — most recently demonstrated during a surreal Oval Office sit-down Thursday.
Despite the controversy, comedian Dave Chappelle is standing behind West, insisting that he “loves” the hip-hop star regardless of his political leanings.
“Kanye’s an artist, and he’s a genius,” Chappelle said during a recent interview on CNN’s The Van Jones Show (which was taped before West’s White House visit). “I think the angle he’s seeing things from is about the division. And he’s not inconsistent with what he’s saying. For instance, a decade ago he was saying he wanted to take the Confederate flag and re-appropriate it.”
He continued, “I’m not mad at Kanye West, that’s my brother. I love him, I support him, I buy his albums. I don’t have to agree with everything that he says, I just trust him as a person of intent.”
But the comedian acknowledged that the “Stronger” performer could do with a bit more restraint, adding, “But yeah, he shouldn’t say all that s—.”
Chappelle’s declaration of support was met with an uncomfortable silence from the audience that had gathered for the taping of the segment.
Chappelle, who can currently be seen in a small but key role in A Star is Born, also shared his experience of living in rural southern Ohio, which is heavily populated by Trump supporters.
“In the name of safety, I don’t tell them anything about that guy,” he explained. “I don’t think I can change anybody’s mind.”
When it comes to his own shocking statements, Chappelle, 45, expressed remorse for comments he made while appearing on Saturday Night Live following Trump’s presidential win — a time when many were expecting some form of comedic reprieve from the entertainer.
“I said we should give Trump a chance because he’s the president of the United States,” he said, “I shouldn’t have said that s—.”
Chappelle’s appearance on the show was part of his endorsement for longtime friend and Governor of Maryland candidate Ben Jealous.
