DL Hughley is calling Kanye West out on his mental illness. In a recent interview, he suggested that ‘Ye’s condition only comes up when it’s beneficial for him.
The comedian recognizes how devastating mental health issues are in the Black community, he doesn’t believe West’s bipolar diagnosis excuses his behavior. “There is no doubt that he suffers from some level of mental illness, but it isn’t why he’s misogynistic, it isn’t why he’s disrespectful to our history,” Hughley noted. “Kanye West, you don’t have to be mentally ill to put an asterisk on slavery and he consistently does it whether it’s Harriet Tubman, when he denigrated her, whether he’s talking about slaves.”
Hughley went on to say that Mr. Kim Kardashian is “not so mentally ill that he’ll talk about any other group of people. He talks about people that he knows he can get away with, and then he’s not so ill that he’s trying to be a disruptor in the political form. He’s not so ill that he takes $5 million in PPP payments, so he seems to be conveniently ill when it serves his purpose.”
- ONE MORE THING! Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is breaking his silence on West’s presidential campaign. He believes that ‘Ye’s goal is ultimately to help Donald Trump get reelected.
