Disgraced hip-hop star Kanye West stormed off the set of an interview with podcaster Tim Pool on Monday after the host pushed back against the rapper’s anti-Semitic statements.
“To are available here – I feel prefer it’s a set as much as be like defending … I’m literally going to walk the F off the show If I’m sitting up here having to, you realize, speak about, ‘You’ll be able to’t say it was Jewish those that did it,’” West said moments before taking off his headset and stomping out of the studio, where he was in the midst of a live interview on the “Timcast IRL” podcast.
West, 45, who claims he’s running for president in 2024, lost several lucrative business relationships and was faraway from Forbes’s billionaire list after a he began railing against Jewish people in October with a series of anti-Semitic remarks.
Former President Donald Trump was swept up within the rapper’s anti-Semitic storm last week when he hosted West and white supremacist Nick Fuentes for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Fuentes, and far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, were also being interviewed by Pool Monday and left when West stormed off about 20 minutes into the podcast.
Before walking out of the interview, West revealed that the dinner with Trump, 76, had been scheduled for October but pushed back to last week.
West also said that it was Yiannopoulos who suggested that Fuentes be brought along to the dinner at the previous president’s residence and resort.
“I’d have never desired to do anything that hurt Trump,” West told Pool during his transient time on his show, adding that he believes former Vice President Mike Pence “sold Trump out.”
“I’m on Trump’s side. Trump said things that hurt me. He lied about me, but I mean, he’s known for lying,” West said.
“I went into the trenches for Trump … There isn’t any one in my position that wore that hat,” the previous entertainment and business mogul added, referencing the forty fifth president’s iconic red “Make America Great Again” hat.
Several high-profile Republicans have denounced Trump within the wake of his scandalous dinner.
Sen. Mitt Romney on Monday compared Trump to a “gargoyle” that would scare voters away from the Republican Party, and he called the dinner Trump hosted a “disgusting” affair.
“There isn’t any bottom to the degree to which he’s willing to degrade himself, and the country for that matter,” Romney (R-Utah), the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told NBC reporter Sahil Kapur. “Having dinner with those people was disgusting.”
Trump’s former vice chairman on Monday called on the ex commander in chief to apologize for hosting West, Fuentes, and Yiannopoulos.
“President Trump was improper to offer a white nationalist, an anti-Semite and a Holocaust denier a seat on the table,” Pence said on NewsNation. “I believe he should apologize for it and he should denounce those individuals and their hateful rhetoric without qualification.”
Pence, nevertheless, stopped in need of calling Trump a racist or anti-Semite.
“With that being said … I don’t consider Donald Trump is an anti-Semite. I don’t consider he’s a racist or a bigot,” Pence added. “People often forget that the president’s daughter converted to Judaism, his son-in-law is a devout Jew, his grandchildren are Jewish.”
