“Y’all, I’ve done a lot of crazy stuff in my life. But I would never try to disrespect an interpreter that’s doing sign language for the deaf community on stage.”
Big Daddy Kane continued:
“No one told me what was going on. No one told my manager that there would be an interpreter. We were clueless. So, when I came on stage and saw someone just mouthing the lyrics, you know, I was trying to get them off the stage.”
He added:
“But no one showed the clip of me apologizing to the brother and allowing him to stay on stage and finish the show. No one showed the clip of me apologizing to the crowd because, as I said on the clip, I want everyone to enjoy the show, and that means even those that can’t hear it.”
He concluded:
“Much respect the deaf community. I would never disrespect y’all. And much love to that interpreter. Again, I apologize, my brother.”
