Kanye West storms out of Tim Pool interview after pushback to his anti-Semitic claims | NY Post

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 come in here — I feel like it’s a set-up to be like defending … I’m literally going to walk the F off the show, if I’m sitting up here having to, you know, talk about, ‘You can’t say it was Jewish people that did it,’” West said moments before taking off his headset and stomping out of the studio, where he was in the middle 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 removed from Forbes’ billionaires list after he began railing against Jewish people in October with a series of remarks.

Former President Donald Trump was swept up in 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 on Monday and left when West stormed off about 20 minutes into the podcast.

I came here to see how the media was going to spin the story. I did not leave disappointed.

[cyanrazorCel]

I think he just left because Tim Pool wouldn't admit who's really running things.

[fredlada]

When you understand someone is taking the position of gaslighting you, once you understand it clearly, there is not a single word to discuss anymore.
I’m 100% with Kanye and I understand his reaction because I would have done the same thing.
He was invited to speak, but the podcast host is gaslighting him about the truth of the matter, and he knows the truth full well himself. Waste of time

[spookycrane]

Kanye isn’t a puppet for these people anymore he broke the chains

[jcdg]

He left cause he found Tim to be a coward in not wanting to name the Jews

[The.Adept.Chamber]

Tim: "I think they've been extremely unfair to you."
Ye: "Who is "They"?"
Tim: "I don't use the word the way, I guess, you guys do."
Nick: "It is "Them" though; isn't it?"
Tim: "No it's not."

[hillakatz]

"pushed back" is a strong way of putting it

[TalZadios]

Kayne, turns tail the second anyone disagrees with him the mark of a full grown baby.

[davidkonevky]

Kanye loves free speech unless it hurts his ego

[benderbot]

He's disgraced cause he names the jew...not a biased narrative at all nypost

[blooper]

"Disgraced hip-hop star"
Shut up. Ye is right. Fuentes is right.

[Alritealritealrite]

He's not disgraced. Way to frame the story and show that he's right about a lot of it

[bryanhales]

I must of missed the part where Tim Pool pushed back and disproved what Kanye been saying with real facts

[stephaniecornwell]

He can’t handle referring to the press collective as they or them? That is the proper use of pronoun for a group. 🤨

[thawk]

They're trying to destroy Kanye for speaking truth

Criticizing whiteness is "critical race theory"
Criticizing Jewishness is antisemitism and is evil.
Make it make sense for me

[jillsmith]

Where did push back about antisemitism?

[mcnally]

Men with tiny hats bring big problems.

[ThomasJr]

I think Tim just asked a question, he wasn't giving Kanye a hard time. Kanye is crazy.
