Kanye West tends to say a lot of anti-Semitic statements, consistently. However, Bill Maher still interviewed the controversial multihyphenate, but the host now says he's not airing the podcast because, wait for it… he says Kanye West is anti-Semitic.
TMZ states that Maher sat down with West for a two-hour podcast interview. However, Maher says the episode of Ye Club Random The podcast will never see the light of day because of the “Flashing Lights” rapper's unflattering views on the Jewish community.
“I thought it would be a learning moment. We were here for two hours. We had an amazing, fun time by the way,” Maher said TMZ. “He is a very charming anti-Semite. And by the way, he's not the only one in America who feels this way. It's not like Jews are universally loved except for Kanye West, okay?'
And is Maher choosing not to go on the air because of his integrity or fear of what advertisers might say?
Anyway, TMZ has a whole episode on West called TMZ Investigates Kanye West: Unhinged But Unstoppable, backed by Fox, because of course. Not excusing Yeezy's behavior, but TMZ seems a big madman Ye has not been “cancelled” in the traditional sense and is trying to figure out why.
Caution, TMZ has definitely made a financial killing covering all the shenanigans and shenanigans associated with Kanye West. Remember, it was open TMZ where West made his infamous “slavery sounds like a choice” comment.
As for Maher, he offered more tea—which wasn't exactly shocking to anyone paying attention—for West. Here's what Maher had to say about why West's anti-Semitic rhetoric is dangerous: “The problem, I think, is that it's aimed primarily at … of course he's a rock star … at young people. They don't know much and they certainly don't know much about the Middle East or Jews. So the combination of Kanye out there… I feel like it's been kind of helpful in spreading the fertilizer, and I mean the fertilizer, for this idea that Israel and Jews are like the worst people in the world.”
You lived sorry recently, but no one really believed him, basically.
Its full episode TMZ Investigates Kanye West: Unhinged But Unstoppablewhich features commentary from Angela Yee, Game, Toure and more, can be streamed on Hulu.
