Kanye West is saying that the recent commercial cancellations and the media’s condemnation will not keep him quiet.
West was briefly interviewed by TMZ on Friday after his oldest daughter’s basketball game.
“I’m not losing any money,” he told TMZ. “The day I was picked up from the Balenciaga station was one of the most liberating days.” The French fashion house announced on Friday that it was ending business with West.
West said the attacks and takedowns against him were done to “score points”. He added that unnamed forces were “trying to keep it quiet”.
He pointed out that there is good luck.
“We here, son. We’re not going anywhere.”
West has hired Johnny Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez to handle his business affairs, hoping to reverse the growing trend to write him off.
“They never expected someone to have a platform,” West said. “No one is afraid, they fear us so that we are not afraid anymore. You cannot use all methods. I am talking about my life being threatened by political opinion. To wear the wrong color hat or to have the courage to wear a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt as a black person. I see white people wearing “Black Lives Matter” t-shirts. It’s pretty one-sided if you think about it.
West also commented to TMZ that Adidas could cut ties with him, saying, “They’re in the legal process right now, so anything can happen.”
The billionaire rapper and entrepreneur has come under fire after posting on Twitter and Instagram after receiving comments during an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. On the military alert word “Defcon”. Raising the alert for “Defcon 3” indicates an increase in military readiness and is considered an important alert.
