Kanye West’s Drink Champs interview has been removed from YouTube after his comments about George Floyd.
During the interview, Ye blamed Floyd’s death on fentanyl, ignoring the proven fact that former police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes.
Floyd’s family is considering filing a lawsuit against him.
N.O.R.E. apologized to his fans and to the family of George Floyd.
“When I look back at the interview, I was like, ‘Damn, N.O.R.E., why did you wait two hours to address that?'” N.O.R.E. said on Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning show. “Even though I did feel like I addressed it. I addressed it way too late. The interview way too long. And I’m embarrassed…I can blame this all on Kanye West, I’m not. I want to sit back and say I was irresponsible for letting it go.”
On The Breakfast Club he said, “I apologize to the George Floyd family. I apologize to anyone who was hurt by Kanye West’s comments.”
N.O.R.E. says Drink Champs will now edit their shows.
