N.O.R.E. has apologized for Kanye West’s shocking Drink Champs interview after the backlash over Ye’s George Floyd comments.
In the interview, Ye claimed Floyd died after he was “hit with fentanyl.”
“I didn’t think he was gonna spread this ideology, I didn’t think he was gonna go there,” N.O.R.E. said in the interview. “I thought that he was gonna have a couple of drinks. He smoked blunts with us, I thought it was gonna be lighthearted.”
N.O.R.E. continued: “He threatened my producer, that if he couldn’t film he would walk out. We was trying to… That’s how our interviews go. We try to lighten you up, and then we get you drunk and then we get you to turn to our side. We tried to do that. We did, but it’s Ye. I learned my lesson, ’cause at the end of the day, as a journalist, I did my job. I let a person talk. As a journalist, you supposed to have no opinion, no options, none of that. But, I kinda, I’m Black. I am George Floyd. I am Virgil [Abloh]. I am that. And I didn’t know ’til I saw it. I don’t watch my own interviews, I just think I’m that dope. So, when I watched myself, I was embarrassed. I was like, ‘Wait a minute, what did you let him just say?'”
N.O.R.E. first boasted about the views the interviews pulled which angered people even more.
Y’all accept his apology?
