On the Sept. 29 season opener of "Saturday Night Live," Kanye West -- who announced he was changing his name to "Ye" earlier in the day -- performed as the sketch-comedy show's musical guest.
But after the show wrapped and host Adam Driver bid goodnight to the cameras, the rapper delivered another performance for the studio audience -- one that TMZ characterized as "a pro-Trump rant" -- that didn't make it on the air.
Comedian Chris Rock, who was in the audience, captured some of Ye's words -- and the crowd's boos -- on his Instagram Story and in the brief clips, which were shared by 2Cool2Blog on Twitter, Chris can be heard stifling a laugh as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing and sighing, "My god."
Fox News reported that some of the show's cast members shook their heads in disapproval, kept their heads down or rolled their eyes as they heard Kanye's impromptu speech. TMZ reported that Adam finally walked off the stage after awkwardly standing in a corner.

(1,975 posts)If you get through the clutter and nonsense, the 13th amendment did abolish slavery. However, it did enable prisoners as slave labor. I think that was probably his rant about the 13th...but that's just me looking in.
AFTER EDIT: I do believe it was irresponsible for him to tweet that without articulating what he meant. With the instant and global social media that can bring a person words to millions in seconds, he has a responsibility to ensure the message is clear.

You kinda asked for it.
You really just sought out the attention anyway. Admit it.
We know what you are.
