#Yexit

My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!

FWIW, I hope Mr. West gets the help he apparently needs and if this is a genuine moment of self-awakening, then good.

with his next Manic cycle?

I know it is hard for the families, but surely the Kardashians and their entire network of resources could be less enabling of his self-destructive impulses.

Next song in this hit parade will be, "I was off my meds" followed by "I trusted the man, not the message" and on the b side, every right wingers favorite " Sorry, not sorry".

I suspect that he's loss an entire demographic of people, especially the GENX Blacks who buoyed his career. In order to make sales through music, he's gonna have to make music for the generation of buyers who have antograms tattood on their faces and who eat Tide Pods.

Kanye just fired off a series of tweets apparently distancing himself from politics. He said, "My eyes are now wide open and now realize I've been used to spread messages I don't believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative."

Kanye all but says the culprit is ultra-conservative Candace Owens. He said, "I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn't want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it."

Owens had said, "Blexit [black exit from Democratic Party] is a renaissance and I'm blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero -- Kanye West."

This this fucking nitwit just refer to herself as "a superhero"?
