Kanye West has apologizes to George Floyd’s family and the black community following his recent apology to Jews and Ari Emmanuel for his anti-Semitic comments.
On Friday, October 28, while in Los Angeles, West was approached by photographers and stated emphatically that he sympathizes with George Floyd’s family after loosing his adidas deal.
“When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings. And I know that police do attack [sic] and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote.”— Kanye West said
West went on to claimed that he understands the hurt he caused by propagating conspiracy theories regarding Floyd’s death because adidas ended their business partnership with him.
“So when I questioned the death of George Floyd that hurt my people so I want to apologize for hurting them,” Kanye said to the paparazzi during the interview.
He emphasized that he now knows what it’s like to have a knee on his neck as a result of what Adidas did to him by cutting ties and scrapping the deal they gave him, forcing other companies to take similar measures in response to his anti-Jewish comments.
“Right now God has shown me by what Adidas is doing. And by what the media is doing, I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck right now, So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest Black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off a comment.
The family of George Floyd, specifically his daughter, is suing Kanye West for $250 million after he made false claims that Floyd was killed by a Fentanyl overdose rather than police brutality.
However, he is currently being dumped by a number of major companies, including Adidas, Gap, JPMorgan Chase, Balenciaga, CAA, MRC, Foot Locker, and others.
His comments against Jews, Ari Emanuel, and others have harmed the community, allowing an antisemitic hate group to praise him by hanging a banner that read “Kanye is right about Jews” above Interstate 405 in Los Angeles.
