Despite the <em>Stronger<\/em> artist being locked out of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong> and restricted on <strong>Instagram<\/strong> for his posts, he has continued to throw out more hateful rhetoric. During a podcast interview on <em>Drink Champs<\/em> over the weekend, he actually continued to spew antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about \u201cJewish Zionists\u201d controlling the media and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Mother Of George Floyd\u2019s Daughter Files $250 Million Lawsuit Against Kanye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, Kanye has sat down for another interview to discuss the ongoing controversy \u2013 and as you can imagine, rather than fully acknowledging how harmful his comments were, he doubled down on them yet again. In a preview for an upcoming conversation on <em>Piers Morgan Uncensored<\/em>, posted on <strong>YouTube <\/strong>and <strong>Twitter<\/strong>, the 45-year-old artist and <strong>Piers Morgan<\/strong> got into a heated exchange about whether or not Ye understood how hurtful threatening to go \u201cdeath con 3 on Jewish people\u201d was to many people.\u00a0 Kanye said he was only talking about the Jewish \u201cbusiness people\u201d who he claims have wronged him when he made that tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy tweet referring to all Jewish people, I said for the sake of this conversation I will refer to the business people who have destroyed me and my people and my fellow creatives. But you didn\u2019t even accept that I gave you that, you tried to push me back into 1960. You tried to push me back into last week.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ye, that is still being antisemitic! And when asked by the host if he regretted his remarks on social media, Kanye smiled and responded:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo! Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Firing back, Piers repeatedly told him \u201cyou should be,\u201d before later adding that his comments are \u201cas racist as anything you say you\u2019ve been through and any pain you\u2019ve experienced.\u201d The 57-year-old continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s the same thing! Racism is racism. And you know that, I think. Don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pausing for a few seconds, Kanye replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYeah, obviously. That\u2019s why I said it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Then, asked if he wrote the vile message knowing they were racist, the <strong>Yeezy<\/strong> fashion designer agreed, saying he was \u201cfighting fire with fire\u201d at the time:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to get hosed down, it\u2019s a different type of freedom fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So not only did he knowingly make the antisemitic comment \u2013 but he does not feel an ounce of remorse for it?! Seriously, WTF?! At one point in the interview, Kanye seemed to change his tone and offer up an apology (sort of) to those who weren\u2019t meant to be the target of his disgusting comment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI will say I\u2019m sorry for the people that I hurt with the \u2018death con\u2019 \u2013 the confusion that I caused. I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I\u2019m sorry for the families that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through. And that I used my platform where you say \u2018hurt people hurt people,\u2019 and I was hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI want to say that it\u2019s wrong to hold an apology hostage, and I gotta let go of that and free myself of the trauma and say look, \u2018I\u2019m just going to give it all up to God right now.\u2019 To those families that I hurt, I really want to give you guys a big hug and say I\u2019m sorry for hurting you with my comments. And I want to word it in not a political way but a presidential way, which means what I knew to be a president to be when I was growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This apology is just bulls**t. He clearly does not regret the tweet when he still tried to justify it by saying he only wished harm to those who\u2019ve wronged him \u2014 and then obviously admitted to not being sorry about it in the first place before walking back on it!
