Kanye West made social media angry once again after he claimed that George Floyd was not killed by Derek Chauvin’s knee on his neck, but that he was given fentanyl.
“I watched the George Floyd documentary that Candace Owens put up. One of the things that his two roommates said was, ‘They want a tall guy like me.’ And the day when he died, he said a prayer for eight minutes… They hit him with the fentanyl,” Ye said.
“If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” he added. “When he said ‘Mama,’ Mama is his girlfriend. They said he screamed for his ‘Mama’; Mama was his girlfriend — it’s in the documentary.”
The rapper added that the viral video reminded him of his late friend and designer Virgil Abloh.
“But something that hit me that fucked me up when I was watching the documentary and it said, ‘They want a tall guy like me.’ When I looked at that image of him — this tall Black dude with the bald head — he reminded me of somebody else. Who you think he reminded me of? He reminded me of Virgil.
