Tucker Carlson Kanye West Interview NO AD FULL SHOW 10/6/22 (PART 1/2)

Kanye West defended wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt he debuted at Paris Fashion Week during an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight. “You know, my so-called friends-slash-handlers around me, told me, like, if I said that I like Trump, that my career will be over, that my life would be over,” the artist now known as Ye said in his exclusive "Tucker Carlson Tonight" interview. “They said stuff like people get killed for wearing a hat like that. They threatened my life... They basically said that I would be killed for wearing the hat... God builds warriors in a different way. … He made me for such a time like this.”Show more

"It drove me crazy to not be able to say that I like Trump," Ye told the Fox News host. "It drove - because think about it, it’s me. Imagine me not being able to say what I wanted. What is the point of being famous? What is the point of having millions of people love your music? What was the point of having a voice if you can’t even use your own voice and connect it to your own opinions? That’s where the disconnect happened. That’s where the quote, I think wrongly diagnosed, that’s where the bipolarity is. Because you got something you’re thinking, but you’re told you’re not allowed to say it in public. Well I never actually told people that I like Trump when he was running because I was bullied by Hollywood."

Kanye West then spoke about the idea of a "Black Lives Matter office manager," which he described as a "semi-influential Black person to become the face of a White company."

"That means, like in the design world, in the art world, they actually would pick artists that were less talented than other artists based on their influence, not based on their actual work. Because everyone is vying for influence and an opinion. Everyone is afraid of losing their opinion," Ye said. "They are just there for control. Steve Jobs talked about it. It’s the most important thing you can have, is control. Look at me. All the money, all the influence and I have to act a complete ass to have any say so of anything that my children are doing because that group of people have control and say so over all the children inside of the clan."
