Kanye West talks anti-Semitism allegations with Candace Owens

Kanye West addresses anti-Semitism allegations in a newly released interview.

Ye, aka Kanye West, talks allegations of anti-Semitism in an interview with Candace Owens, recorded in October 2022 and recently released on Owens' YouTube channel. 

In the conversation, West responded to criticism stemming from previous comments perceived as anti-Semitic, seeking to clarify his intentions and the context of his statements.

During the interview, Kanye explained, "I know you guys are going to call this anti-semite, and I'm not afraid of that title." He expressed that his comments were directed at specific individuals in the business world, rather than the Jewish community as a whole. "I've had 10 bad experiences with Jewish execs," he elaborated, emphasising his frustration with those interactions.

The controversy originally arose after West made statements seen as targeting Jewish people, leading to backlash and accusations of perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Despite the criticism, West reiterated his stance, arguing for the importance of open dialogue about challenging topics.

Candace Owens, who has publicly supported West, echoed his views, highlighting the media's role in shaping narratives and the necessity of questioning these portrayals.
