Kanye West runs off at the mouth and has his wife defending him again because it's "not what he meant," plus French Montana is walking back some comments that seemed to defend R.Kelly's legacy" more than defend victims...
Another day, another Kanye rant that was simply "misinterpreted"....by everyone.
Kanye hosted his Sunday church service that he's been doing for a few weeks now. He gets a choir to sing gospel and works in his tracks in a gospel fashion. Yesterday's "service" though, had folks mad.
He said at one point:
"They want art from the artist. But, anytime they do anything erratic, they just gonna pull up the full documentaries on him."
"And then, they gonna come with the Michael documentary. We can enjoy all their music all we want."
He also asked if we should pull da Vinci's artwork out of the Lourve too. Of course, people felt like he was also alluding to the #MuteRKelly movement, seeing that we're in the middle of all the "Surviving R.Kelly" documentary fall out right now.
His wife Kim Kardashian rushed to his defense, once again, saying everybody's just misinterpreting him.
I’m going to nip this in the bud right now. Kanye was speaking about his own experience of everyone quick to say they are cancelling him because of differences in opinion & not being perfect. The analogies were in context to his own experiences, not defending anyone else.

I want to make it very clear, he is not condoning anyone’s actions or unacceptable disgusting behavior. My husband’s words are being taken out of context due to timing.

So how about she rushed to her husband and tell him to speak when he can properly articulat his thoughts. If he chooses to instead recklessly say whatever he wants publicly, be prepared for public responses.
Also walking back some R.Kelly comments is French Montana:
The "Pop That" rapper was at this weekend's Cowboys game in L.A. with Post Malone and YG, and TMZ caught up with him in the streets:
He said R.Kelly has a right to "enjoy his legacy" while still saying he believes Kelly is a predator. Hmph.
Someone must have schooled him on how continuing streams of income for R.Kelly, which is exactly what playing his music on platforms does, also contributes to funding that allows him to us "alleged" tactics of preying on and abusing girls and women.
French tried to clear up his comments on Twitter saying:
Let me be clear. My heart is with the victims. I never thought the people I looked up to as a kid, who sang and danced and gave me hope to become a superstar would become drug addicts, child molestors and rapists. I am hoping we as a culture create better leaders. We need them.

He didn't necessarily say he doesn't deserve to be pulled, but he definitely sounded more pro-victim in his new statement.
