Ye might most likely profit from a number of extra Michael Che-like personalities in his life.
Footage from a brand new documentary exhibits a tense trade between Ye (previously often known as Kanye West) and Che after the rapper’s notorious rant on “Saturday Night Live” in 2018.
In 2018, Ye carried out on the long-running sketch present as its musical visitor. Shortly after his closing music, the “Runaway” rapper primarily took the present and its viewers hostage to ship a rambling pro-President Donald Trump and anti-Democrat diatribe whereas carrying a MAGA hat.
“You can’t be controlled by monolithic thoughts,” Ye stated at one level. “You can’t always have, every time you have a Black subject matter, like [Bill] Cosby, that you have to have a Black comedian talking about him.”
In line with a now-viral clip from Nico Ballesteros’s new Ye-centered doc, “In Whose Name,” Che took problem with this particular comment and swiftly confronted Ye backstage after the rapper wrapped up his tirade.
“You good with me? For real?” Che may be seen asking Ye within the clip. “I’m the Black comedian, I made a joke about Cosby.”
“Aw, man, I love you, though, bro,” the “Gold Digger” rapper stated meekly.
However Che refused to again down. “Why would you do that to me? I work here.”
Ye went on to say that he was referring to “SNL” alum Leslie Jones, to not Che, throughout his remarks about Black comedians.
However Che wasn’t shopping for it.
“I work here. Like, come on, man. We treat everyone that come in like family, and you gonna sell us out? Like, that’s fucked up, man,” he stated. “We look up to you, we love you. What you got against us?”
“I mean, I do have some things against ‘SNL,’” Ye admitted.
“That’s cool,” Che stated. “But airing it out like that without letting us be able to reply is kind of foul. You wait until the last song and then say that foul shit to us?”
At this level, rapper Consequence — who was watching the confrontation unfold — tries to interrupt it up.
Che later turns to Ye earlier than the clip cuts out, and says: “Yo, you’re a hero to us, man! We love you. Seriously, we love you. But it’s foul to do that.”
On social media platforms like X and TikTok, customers have been impressed by Che’s calm however agency demeanor throughout the confrontation.
