Kanye Says People Are Sabotaging Kim Kardashian’s Efforts To Become A Lawyer, Reveals He’s Not On Medication & Defends Dave Chappelle
Kanye West shared a variety of opinions on the latest episode of Drink Champs!
As you may recall, Kanye West appeared in a well-received installment of Drink Champs last week–with the episode ultimately breaking viewership records. Late last night (Thursday, Nov. 11th), a second portion of Kanye West‘s interview was uploaded–and the 44-year-old rapper had some intriguing things to say!
At one point in the second installment, Kanye shared some conspiracies he had about Kim Kardashian and her journey to becoming a lawyer–saying he thinks there are celebrity “plants” around her that want to sabotage her efforts. Kanye initially slammed the man who was allegedly helping Kim Kardashian prepare for her re-take of the bar exam:
“The lawyer got on the phone and started making bad suggestions, and I was like ‘Man, this dude’s an idiot. They got an idiot training my wife, she gonna fail the bar the third time.'”
He continued:
“I feel like there’s people who might not want Kim Kardashian to become a lawyer. Because you know what happens if Kim Kardashian becomes a lawyer? That shirt gets a little bit higher, that cleavage gets a little bit more covered up. There’s 14-year-old girls, 17-year-old girls that’s posing a little bit, they want to become a lawyer. She affects people in that way. There’s people that don’t want her to affect these women in that way. They want her to affect them in that other way.”
Kanye West wrapped up his theory by stating:
“They could put a lawyer that give you all the right things and just enough wrong things that you miss your test by this much. ‘You’ll get ’em next time.'”
Kanye proceeded to then dish on Dave Chappelle and cancel culture. As previously reported, Dave Chappelle has faced continual backlash for making transphobic comments on his recent Netflix special, The Closer. He continues to be the subject of controversy, with many calling for others to “cancel” the 48-year-old comedian.
Sharing his thoughts on the cancellation matter, Kanye West proclaimed:
“Man, if they don’t get the f**k up outta here, bro. Cancel what? What we cancellin’ out here? Man, enough of this s**t already, boy! Y’all just wait until someone ain’t affecting the stock and you just take them out one by one to impose fear on anybody with freedom of thought.”
Kanye then addressed how he’d react to people cancelling him:
“I smack the s**t out you when I see–don’t tell me what the f**k to do ever in your life, boy. None of y’all Hollywood plant-a** n***as tell none of us what we do. This our culture now. It’s up. You can’t cancel none of us.”
“I be irritated. I be slightly irritated.”
The “Remote Control” rapper then switched gears and addressed the topic of mental health. Specifically, Kanye opened up about the incident that led to his bipolarism diagnosis, referencing an anger management session after he “slammed” a paparazzo. He recalled:
“I’m sitting there with Amber Rose at the anger management situation, and the anger management coach just keeps on hitting on Amber and then giving me some medication. That was the beginning of my medication.”
Kanye then stated:
“We all are on the spectrum somewhere, just only a couple of us went to the hospital or have been diagnosed with medicine.”
He proceeded to also address mental health stigma:
“Anytime somebody wants to, you know, say that I’m wrong about something–hide the truth, lie–they say ‘Ye’s crazy.’ It’s just the ultimate final cutoff to have to listen. We were raised into this life racist, sexist, homophobic, but now also a phobia of things in mental health to where we feel like that could be the end of any conversation. Stop talking, stop thinking, stop feeling, you’re crazy.”
Kanye then shared how he responds to people dismissing him as “crazy”:
“Okay, I’m crazy, but what y’all gonna do about it? Y’all not gonna diminish what I’m doing and what God is doing with me in the future by trying to cut my legs off or cut my influence off by calling me crazy.”
Shortly thereafter, he revealed he’s currently not on his medication and added:
“They be like, ‘You need your meds, you’re not on your best mental state right now.’ No, I know what’s going on, and I’m not having it. I’m Buffalo Bill, you know? I’m one of those characters from the movie, you know, back in the days. Think about ‘There Will Be Blood.’ They wasn’t having it. I’m not having none of it from nobody ever, period, on my life, bro. On my mama, on God, period.”
Later, Kanye West also referenced his infamous meeting with ex-president Donald Trump back in 2016:
“I called Trump, he said ‘Yeah, you my friend. My Black approval rating went up 40 percent, you know, when you came to the White House.’ Now, everybody’s like, ‘Ye’s so crazy, he’s so crazy, look at his hair, look what he wearing, he wearing this hat.’… That’s why I got so irate about it, by the way. We can all have an opinion.”
He said that, shortly after the incident, he left to Japan in “personal exile” because “all of America hated him.”
At this point, it’s worth bringing up that–in response to the memorable interruption–former president Barack Obama called Kanye a “jacka**” at the time.
