Kanye West Spouts More Wild Claims About Jews In Unaired ‘Fox News’ Interview Clips

Kanye West has faced a lot of backlash over the past week for his disparaging comments about Jewish people, and it doesn’t look like he’s done.

The Yeezy mogul sat down for an interview with Fox News last week where he spoke about the controversy behind his White Lives Matter t-shirt which he debuted during the YZYSZN9 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week.

In additional unaired footage obtained by Vice’s Motherboard, it seems Ye also spoke about his vaccination status, energy communities, and how “fake children” have been placed in his home to “sexualize” his kids.

“I have visions that God gives me, just over and over, on community building and how to build these free energy, kinetic, fully kinetic energy communities,” Ye told Carlson in one clip, “where we impress—we put the least impression on the earth. We’re not building the new New York skyline cockfight. That we are humble in the way that we present ourselves. We’ve got to rethink who we are as a species.”

He went on to say that he had been holding back on sharing his political opinions because he thought it would be better for his four kids, North, Chicago, Saint and Psalm, and that he wants his children to celebrate Hannukah rather than Kwanza in school because at least the former would “come with some financial engineering.”

The comment presumably refers to the long-held antisemitic stereotype that Jewish people control the world’s financial system.

In another comment about Jews, Ye used a strange metaphor about Jewish people dancing to describe how Black people need to stop judging one another, and separately added that Planned Parenthood was created to “control the Jew population.”

“Think about us judging each other on how white we could talk would be like, you know, a Jewish person judging another Jewish person on how good they danced or something… I mean, that’s probably like a bad example and people are going to get mad at that shit.”

He added: “I probably want to edit that out.”

Ye then went on to say that “actors, professional actors,” were “placed into my house to sexualize my kids,” making note of an associate’s “so-called son” who he didn’t believe was a real child because he was “way smarter” then the associate.

“Everyone saw in broad daylight these public figures kidnap my Black child on her birthday,” Ye additionally told Carlson, likely referring to when he crashed his daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday party in January. “I did not know the location of the birthday party and Travis Scott had to give me the address. When I showed up, they were so frazzled.”

He continued: “If that’s not the most Karen-level thing, to feel like you can take a Black child and not give the father the address. This is the way people are treated when they get out of prison, when they go to prison. And 100 percent, I am in a glass prison or else I’d be the one with the say so over where my children go to school.”

In another clip obtained by Motherboard, Ye proclaimed that Louis Vuitton “killed” Off-White designer Virgil Abloh, who died of cancer in November 2021 at 41 years old.

“Virgil was actually the third person to die of cancer in that organization,” Ye said. “So not just Black men have passed in that organization, but the third person to die of cancer that was in a higher up position in that organization. And with Paris is a different level of elitism and racism. And Virgil was the kind of guy that he didn’t hold it in. And I believe it ate him up from inside.”

He added: “The level of racism, elitism and pressure that he was under, I’m sure, affected his health.”

Kanye’s bizarre claims are just the latest in a string of controversial antics the Donda hitmaker has been involved in.

He’s most recently been under fire from the Jewish community after making several anti-Semitic remarks and was even invited to the Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles to educate himself on Jewish history. Ye also allegedly professed his love for Hitler and the Nazis during his infamous rant at the TMZ offices in 2019.

“Words matter and words have consequences Ye,” the museum wrote in a statement on Instagram. “We urge you to come visit us at Holocaust Museum LA to understand just how words can incite horrific violence and genocides.”

Nessa Barrett Talks ‘Tired of California,’ ‘Misconceptions’ About Social Media Stars & More

The singer, who got her start on TikTok, revealed that she got “tired of California” right after she moved to the sunny state. “Living in LA and California itself was a dream of mine since I was little. When I was 17, I ran away and moved across the country to be in LA, and it has given me so many opportunities and I love it so much,” she explained. “But, I feel like a lot of people in the industry can relate, we just feel trapped here.”

On her healing while writing such an emotionally charged album, she shared that she’s big on hypnotherapy and inner child work. “I feel like working with yourself and getting very deep and learning how to have compassion for the person that’s inside of you — because we forget that and neglect ourselves in a way — I feel like it’s very important.”

Barrett also shared her thoughts on those who have large social media platforms that are sometimes not taken seriously when trying to take the jump into full-blown musical artist, and then feel confined. “Everyone online isn’t fully the person that they are on social media. So when people start to branch out and do new things or follow a dream of theirs, it’s kind of confusing for people and it’s hard for them to accept,” she said. “Just because you have an audience and a big platform, it doesn’t mean you don’t grow and change like anyone else. That’s part of life.”

Here Are All of Taylor Swift’s Acting Roles, From ‘Amsterdam’ to ‘Valentine’s Day’

Taylor Swift will always be a singer-songwriter first and foremost, but when she isn’t penning No. 1 hits or selling out stadiums on tour, the pop star sometimes trade in her guitar for a script. Since rising to fame as a country darling in the 2000s, she’s made cameos in both big screen and small screen projects, be it as a one-time guest on a random episode of CSI or a lead performer in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats film adaptation.

But while it may seem as though Swift’s acting career stemmed from her success in music, here’s a little known fact: The Grammy winner actually started out with a love for musical theater. As she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in October 2019, “I started out doing musical theater as a kid. It’s what made me fall in love with performing as a medium.”

That said, the musician probably won’t be taking on a second full-time profession any time soon. Three years before appearing in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam — which debuted in theaters Oct. 7, 2022 — she was asked by Webber in an interview for British Vogue whether she’d ever considered fully committing to being an actress.

“I have no idea,” she told the composer, with whom she also composed a song for the movie adaptation of Cats.

“When I was younger, I used to get questions like, ‘Where do you see yourself in 10 years?’ I’d try to answer. As I get older, I’m learning that wisdom is learning how dumb you are compared to how much you are going to know. I really had an amazing time with Cats. I think I loved the weirdness of it. I loved how I felt I’d never get another opportunity to be like this in my life.”

Online Passport Renewal Pilot Program Temporarily Reopens (Tech)

I know that’s right! If you’re looking to cut down on your process to renew your passport, some significant changes are on the way! According to The Hill, the State Department has temporarily reopened a pilot program that allows people to renew their passports online, speeding up the renewal process. Reports state that the state is reopening the program for a limited time. This comes after it reached its monthly goal for the number of volunteers to test it last month.

The best part of the program is that it will significantly reduce wait times and lines for people seeking to renew their passports. The department offered the program to update passports for 25,000 people in August, and in chile, the enrollment limit was reached in just ten days.

Now, Roommates, there is a specific list of requirements for those interested in participating in the pilot program. Here’s the tea. All participants must be at least 25 years old, and their passports must be between 9 and 15 years old. In addition, participants must have a passport that was or is valid for at least ten years.
What is exciting about this process is that those enrolled can upload a digital photo for the new passport!

If you currently have a passport, you know how long the processing time is. Now it shows the process is 7 to 10 weeks and 4 to 6 weeks if you pay an additional $60 fee to expedite it. Not much is changing with the online process. Processing times for online requests will be the same time as renewals done by mail.

The program will be fully launched in November. Roommates, will you be taking advantage? Drop a comment and let us know.

Bizarre Recalls Dr. Dre Encouraging Him To Fully Embrace His Wacky Persona

Bizarre has shown some love to Dr. Dre, recalling the time the legendary producer pushed him to embrace his wacky persona.

Speaking to Fiend on the former No Limit rapper’s Who Got Dat Fire podcast, the Detroit native opened up about his relationship with Dre, who he first met during the early days of Shady Records.

According to the rapper, Dre is the one who pushed him to embrace the wacky persona that fans later came to know and love. “I had heard stories about how Dre would have n-ggas in hotel rooms for months trying to get up with him,” Bizarre said about his friend and collaborator. “I know Meth and Red went through that just trying to get on his schedule.

“I had heard about how hard it was to get to him, so when I first met him, I remember he was like, ‘D Twizzy, wassup,’ and he was like, ‘Who is that n-gga Bizarre’ and they all pointed at me and shit, and he quoted one of my lyrics and shit, and I was just like, wow. I was stunned.”

Bizarre continued: “He ended up being a cool mentor, and I ain’t gonna lie, a lot of the lines that you hear that come out of my mouth, they started out as jokes in the studio. Dre was always like, ‘Yo keep that, say that.’ He pushed me to be Bizarre, to stay in my lane. Any lines that I had that I thought were questionable, he was like, ‘Nah say that shit.’ That’s what I remember about Dre, and he loved Popeyes chicken and Hennessy.”

Bizarre made a name for himself as the wild and eccentric member of D12. He would regularly walk around shirtless and wear a shower cap on his head. If he wasn’t wearing the cap, he would display his colorful hair for all to see.

Bizarre Reveals Another Prominent Detroit Rapper Was In D12 ‘For A Minute’

During a recent interview with Bootleg Kev, the Detroit rapper reflected on his experience working with another mentor, Eminem, with whom he released two albums — 2001’s Devil’s Night and 2004’s D12 World — as part of the platinum-selling group D12.

“It was a lot of work, man. I think we had fun after the studio,” he said. “Being in the studio with Em, man, sometimes you might be in the booth for five, six hours doing one verse over. He was on yo ass.

“I remember one time he got so sick with it, man, I went home and he wanted me to do some ad-libs over. I guess he couldn’t wait ’til I came back; the next day, he had did them for me. He sounded just like me, my voice. I was like, ‘Bro, you are sick.’”

BTS Gets Ready to Fly in Aerial Yoga Class for Special ‘Run BTS’ Episode: Watch

It’s finally here, BTS ARMY — the Bangtan Boys first teased their special yoga-themed Run BTS episode on Oct. 4, which featured members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook giving the aerial silks a try.

Though the K-pop stars were totally game in the teaser to experience a brand new challenge, the septet later ended up quickly struggling with nailing down the moves. Now, ARMY has the chance to see the episode in full — and all the hilarious shenanigans that ensued — in a video uploaded to BTS’ official YouTube on Tuesday (Oct. 11).

After being introduced to their instructor, who greeting the K-pop group by instantly launching to a pose above ground on the aerial silks, BTS gave him a round of applause — but not without gushing over their instructor’s physique and talents. Jimin, impressed with the elegant display, said, “He made a fantastic appearance!” Suga then enquired, “Did you make that body with flying yoga?”

Jin and RM then had their own questions, with the singer asking, “He probably worked out, right?” and the rapper adding, “What if he pumps a lot of metal at home?” The instructor assured the guys that aerial yoga acts as a full body workout, which RM concluded, “Those are muscles that are made in action!”

The rest of the episode sees the BTS members doing a lengthy stretching session, some members more successful at hitting the exercises than others, before giving actual aerial silk moves a try. All of the members struggled with at least one of the moves, but closer to the end of their class, the members had more stability and confidence. Sadly, fans will have to wait for the next episode to see how BTS makes it through the rest of the class.

The next part of “Fly BTS Fly” will first air through Weverse and VLive, and will later be available on YouTube. Watch the newest installment of Run BTS below.
