Look, Ye, has something to say about a segment of the culture yet again. This time, the Grammy winner is once again at the center of controversy after a resurfaced documentary clip shows him denouncing the Black Lives Matter movement as “worse than the devil.” The footage comes from In Whose Name?, a documentary that takes viewers behind the scenes of Ye’s creative process during the making of his 2021 album Donda.
In the clip, Ye is seen in conversation with Playboi Carti while discussing his decision to remove Pusha T’s verse from the song “Off The Grid.” Even as Carti praised Pusha’s contribution, Ye insisted on cutting it due to a refusal to allow any mention of Black Lives Matter on his music.
“I’d rather y’all be like, ‘I’m killing 20 ns’ or ‘I’m fing too many bhes’ than y’all saying some Black Lives Matter sht on my sht,” Ye said. “Black Lives Matter is, like, worse than the devil to me. It’s mind control.”
