Trevor Noah Reacts to Kanye West’s Behavior Amid Split From Kim Kardashian: What She’s Going Through Is Terrifying To Watch

Noah said,

“I do understand that art can be therapy — I honestly do understand that. But I also understand that therapy can be therapy.”

Trevor Noah compared Kanye’s situation with Kim to his own experience as a child witnessing his mother being abused. He mentioned people thought his mother, Patricia, was “overreacting” before his stepfather shot her in the head. (Patricia survived the attempted murder.)

“You may not feel sorry for Kim because she’s rich and famous, but what she’s going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave.”

He continued,

“What we’re seeing here is one of the most powerful, one of the richest women in the world unable to get her ex to stop texting her, to stop chasing after her, to stop harassing her.”

He later adds,

“As a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming? Or do we want to say ‘hey, slow down, let’s put our hazards on, because there’s a storm right now.”

It appears Kanye West caught wind of Trevor Noah’s remarks and wasn’t too fond of it. On Wednesday (Mar.16) the “Junya” rapper made an Instagram post where he shared images of Noah and captioned the post with a racial slur against the South African native. Kanye wrote,

“All in together now… K–n baya my lord k–n baya K–n baya my lord K–n baya Oooo’ lord K–n baya.”

West was mocking Noah by using the offensive “k–n” slur to replace the original lyrics in “Kumbaya.”

Kanye’s offensive post resulted in him being suspended from Instagram for 24 hours. According to a Meta spokesperson,  the rapper’s recent posts violated the company’s policies on hate speech and bullying and harassment. He is unable to post, comment or send DMs for 24 hours.
