Part 2/8:
The podcast began with a humorous mention of Kanye’s unusual outfit, which was labeled as reminiscent of the “Black Klan.” This attire, coupled with his stark commentary, set the tone for a discussion that oscillated between fascination and concern. Kanye's habit of making bold, often alarming declarations has become a hallmark of his public persona, and this interview was no exception.
Kanye reiterated his long-standing critique of the music industry, highlighting how artists are often manipulated by record labels. He discussed specific individuals, including Playboi Carti and the late Virgil Abloh, while asserting that he himself was "evil." This declaration, made relentlessly throughout the interview, invited both criticism and concern, particularly regarding his mental health.
