According to reports, Kanye West has defended Diddy and R. Kelly in spite of their alleged sexual offenses.
On Sunday, August 11, Ye had a party in Los Angeles to celebrate the release of his and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 2 album. During the celebration, he was spotted controlling the music with an aux cord.
During his spontaneous DJ performance, the Chicago rap icon performed a wide variety of songs, including hits from JAY-Z, Prince, Eurythmics, and The Eagles.
Producer Mike Hector, who was present, said that the songs that Kanye played back-to-back were the most intriguing ones; these were from Diddy and R. Kelly.
“Kanye is DJing at this party that I’m at.” He performed two Doddy tunes, followed immediately by a R Kelly song. Hector shared a video of Kanye DJing on his Instagram Stories along with the tweet, “This n-gga do not give a fuck.”
Recently, Kanye referenced Diddy and R. Kelly in his Vultures 1 hit song “Carnival,” which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Everyone mad, gotta make ’em drink the pee / Now I’m Ye-Kelly, bitch, now I’m Bill Cosby, bitch / Now I’m Puff Daddy rich, that’s #MeToo me rich,” he rapped.
Previously, in 2012, West worked with sex offender Kelly who was convicted on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation album Cruel Summer.
Ye has previously faced charges of standing up for Kelly and Michael Jackson, who both faced allegations of sexual abuse of minors prior to their deaths.
“Everyone wants to buy artwork from the artist, but if they act in an unpredictable way, entire documentaries on them will be shown. And after that, they’re going to release the Michael Jackson documentary,” he declared in 2019 at a Sunday Service performance.
It’s all ours to appreciate their songs at will. I didn’t think I would go there today, but um While we’re dismantling artists, let’s also remove Leonardo da Vinci from the Louvre. Let’s destroy every piece of art.
Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s ex-wife, swiftly stepped in to defend him, saying, “I’m going to nip this in the bud right now.” Speaking about his personal experience, Kanye talked about how people were eager to cancel him due to disagreements and his imperfections. The comparisons were made in light of his personal experiences rather than to defend others.
“I want to be very clear, he is not endorsing anyone’s actions or unacceptable, disgusting behavior,” the woman continued. The timing of my husband’s remarks is causing them to be taken out of context.
Meanwhile, since the founder of G.O.O.D. Music called the Bad Boy boss a “fed,” Kanye and Diddy’s relationship has deteriorated.
Following his antisemitism and “White Lives Matter” incident, Ye delivered an incendiary Drink Champs interview in 2022. “As far as Meek Mill, Puff Daddy, anyone — none of these n-ggas… Fuck you, all you fake-hard n-ggas! You can’t shoot people for that reason, and the reason you need to discuss is that you made a bargain and you fucked fed.
“That’s why you need to approach me because you agreed to withdraw my card in exchange for being able to do all that da-da-da-da-da and avoid jail time. You guys should stop talking about me.
