00:00
We're going to start with Kanye West pushing Kim Kardashian
00:04
closer and closer to the edge in this battle over their kids.
00:08
Because of something he said in an interview
00:10
he did over the weekend.
00:11
He went, did an interview with DJ Akademiks,
00:15
dressed like this.
00:17
Although he started when he first showed up,
00:22
he did not have on the black KKK outfit.
00:26
So it's the opposite of Bianca's story.
00:28
He's fully covered.
00:29
Yes, completely covered, wearing that outfit,
00:33
and saying something about the kids, the four children
00:37
that he has with Kim Kardashian.
00:39
And the reason I say this is pushing Kim, she has tried.
00:43
She has tried not to go into court
00:46
and to fight to get full custody.
00:49
Because she wants, has made this very clear,
00:51
she wants her kids to have a relationship with their father.
00:54
She's not trying to stand in the way of that.
00:56
But when he says things like this, at some point,
01:00
she has to be thinking, I don't know
01:04
if this is good for our kids to be around this.
01:07
And the guy in the black KKK hood, yeah, maybe not.
01:10
In that hood, and saying things like this about his kids.
01:13
With the situation with the kids,
01:14
I hear you speak about that a lot.
01:16
Nobody really spoke on your behalf.
01:17
But even when you speak about Kim, people might be like,
01:19
well, you picked her.
01:21
Like, you put yourself in that.
01:23
Absolutely, I did.
01:24
That was my fault.
01:25
Maybe they're saying that you don't take accountability.
01:27
No, that was my fault.
01:29
I didn't want to have children with this person
01:33
after the first two months of being with her.
01:36
But that wasn't God's plan.
01:38
I did not want to have kids with this person.
01:42
It is, that's just, I mean, obviously, he intended it,
01:46
I think, as a jab at Kim, which it is.
01:48
But his kids, especially North, is at an age.
01:51
It's his kid's mother.
01:52
Right, and North is at an age,
01:54
she's definitely gonna know this stuff.
01:56
We get to a point where we don't think
01:57
that Kanye West can shock us anymore,
01:59
and then he says something that is so shocking, so alarming.
02:04
It's one thing to go after Kim,
02:05
say whatever you want, I guess, his ex-wife.
02:07
It's horrible, but he says it.
02:09
To say things that will redound against the kids
02:12
is just unforgivable.
02:13
I mean, we've been through this so many times.
02:15
We say it all the time,
02:15
wearing the Nazi shirt is unforgivable.
02:17
The Klanhood itself, right?
02:19
The fact we're sort of glossing over that
02:20
to a bigger point about the insult
02:22
he had towards his wife,
02:23
and we're not even talking about the fact
02:25
the guy's wearing a Klanhood.
02:26
It's just, we're just beyond,
02:29
we're through the looking glass now.
02:30
I don't even know where to go with this anymore.
02:31
Yeah, and the thing about the kids,
02:35
at some point here, and not,
02:37
for the younger ones, it's at some point.
02:39
For North, it's right now, right?
02:41
That you're, even if she doesn't see it,
02:43
even if somehow Kim is able to keep that away from her,
02:49
the kids that she, her friends at school,
02:51
they're gonna know about it.
02:52
They're gonna see it.
02:54
And it's just, it puts them in,
02:55
puts the kids in a horrible situation,
02:57
puts Kim in a horrible situation.
03:00
And at some point, you just go like, ah.
03:03
And at some point, is there also a discussion
03:05
about should he not be put on camera?
03:08
Should they not be doing an interview with him?
03:12
Should we not be giving him attention?
03:14
Having sat in this very, very position
03:17
that we're in right here,
03:19
where you start to do an interview with Kanye,
03:21
and things seem normal,
03:23
and then suddenly there's a comment made
03:26
where you go like, okay, this isn't,
03:28
I don't blame AK for that.
03:29
I mean, he showed up and hoped to get a good interview.
03:32
But when he says things like that, I get your point.
03:36
He also said something about, unbelievably,
03:40
defending this tweet that he did a couple weeks ago
03:43
about Jay-Z and Beyonce's kids.
03:45
I'm not gonna repeat what he said.
03:46
It was absolutely awful.
03:48
He deleted it, and then doubled down on it
03:51
in a later tweet.
03:53
This is what he had to say about this,
03:55
how he's defending this, I don't know.
03:57
The Jay-Z tweet, Jay-Z's kids tweet,
04:00
makes the, that even seem so bad.
04:05
Every week, it's like.
04:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:07
I feel like that was probably the worst tweet you've said.
04:11
Or the best.
04:13
Or the strongest.
04:16
Yeah.
04:18
What do you say to that when he says,
04:19
or it's the best or the strongest thing I've ever said?
04:22
Yeah, it's, this is a tough position, like I said.
04:26
More than, there's the outrageousness of what he's saying.
04:30
But some of that, you could look at it and say,
04:31
look, he's obviously dealing with mental health issues,
04:35
and that may be part of that.
04:36
But either way, for Kim Kardashian,
04:38
the bottom line is, he is out there saying these things
04:41
that can be damaging to your children.
04:43
So how do you react?
04:44
How are they not damaging to your children?
04:47
Yeah.
04:47
I mean, how would, I mean, are you just,
04:51
you feel for them?
04:52
I mean, it just feels like a therapist bill.
04:54
I was gonna say, there's a lot of therapy coming.
04:57
Hi, my name is Brielle, I'm from Rochester.
05:00
So the initial interview with academics in Kanye,
05:05
from my perspective, the initial comments,
05:09
if he was trying to hold himself accountable,
05:12
then making harsh statements against his children
05:15
is kind of contradicting.
05:17
And also, two of the worst case scenarios can happen.
05:20
They can stumble across the interview
05:23
and then change their perspective on their dad,
05:26
or Kim can have a hard time trying to hide it
05:30
from her kids, which is unfortunate.
05:33
Yeah, have a hard time hiding it,
05:34
and then also have a hard time explaining it
05:36
at some point when they do see it.
05:39
It'd be tough enough if you're in a troubled relationship
05:42
having this stuff happen privately,
05:44
but having it publicly out there forever,
05:47
this never goes away,
05:48
this clip will be on the internet forever,
05:50
it's really tough for those kids.
05:51
Yeah, absolutely.
