*Count Eve among the scores of fans and celebrities who are through supporting Kanye West and his “free thinking.”
One day after Yeezy said U.S. slavery “sounds like a choice” during a live interview with TMZ, “The Talk” host said she was dumbfounded.
“Every time I watch these clips, I get emotional… it is so disrespectful,” she said on Wednesday’s show (May 2). “I can’t understand how a black man that was born on the south side of Chicago can have these ideas. I can’t understand… his mother, may she rest in peace, was an African-American Studies professor. I cannot understand this.”
West has called his rambling thoughts “free thinking,” a term that Eve also addressed on “The Talk.”
“You want to be a free-thinker, you want to be thought-provoking, you cannot have these ideas without facts to back them up. Slavery is a fact. Slavery is part of our history… we cannot forget it… we are still feeling the effects of slavery within our community, within our culture. It hurts me,” she said.
Eve added: “At the end of the day, we all got lucky and got plucked out of our hoods and live these amazing lives, but you cannot be so far in your bubble to think you are not a part of what this history is.”
Eve said she’s done with both Kanye and his music.
“This is a man that I actually used to listen to, this is a person that we used to look to as an artist,” she said. “Any young brothers looking at me, listening to me today: Pick up some Nas, pick up Damian Marley, pick up some J. Cole, pick up some Kendrick Lamar. Listen to these artists. I am done with Kanye.”
