Kanye West pulled up to Chicago’s WGCI and found himself in the hot seat during a recent interview. The often-misconceptualized emcee immediately became defensive when asked about his role in Pusha T and Drake’s on-again/off-again beef. West made it clear saying that he did not drop Drake’s baby-bomb on Push because he’s “ye and got major things to do other than [gossiping],” but he prefer to opted out of that conversation.

The Chi-town native also discussed his MAGA stance and compared it to rivaling gangs. “We all know the fact that Black people used to be Republican. Liberals, right/left, red/blue, it’s like a gang. It’s like Bloods and Crips. The hat was a statement of bravery...”

The hosts mentioned that West has disassociated himself from the initial pro-black stance from the earlier moments in his career. Piggying back off the constant rumors that he’s in the sunken place, Ye stated, “we talk about Get Out and that flash of light, [but] that’s as flash of light to us as an entire community to see things that we weren’t seeing when Obama was in office.”
