Kanye West Interview on LeBron James’ Show Pulled Out Over ‘Hate Speech,’ Extremely Dangerous Stereotypes’

Kanye West once again delivered contentious statements in a recording of an episode of the YouTube talk show Uninterrupted The Shop.

Maverick Carter, the show's co-executive producer, and LeBron James' colleague spoke out against the Grammy winner's "extremely dangerous stereotypes" after examining a video from the online program, per Clutch Points.

Zero Tolerance For Hate Speech

The CEO of the SpringHill Company has confirmed to Andscape that the recently filmed episode of The Shop that included Kanye "Ye" West would not be shown online. Carter noted that he "directly" talked to Kanye West the day before the taping of The Shop and the former "believed" that Ye "was capable of a respectful discussion and he was ready to address all his recent comments."

However, what happened was in contrast to what Carter had expected as Kanye West made The Shop "a platform for him to spread more hate speech and dangerous prejudices." Hence, Carter and LeBron James "decided against airing" the taped episode because of the controversial remarks of Kanye West.

"While The Shop embraces thoughtful discourse and differing opinions, we have zero tolerance for hate speech of any kind and will never allow our channels to be used to promote hate," Carter underscored.

He also apologized to the guests and staff for mistakingly supposing that the Kanye West interview will be different, but instead, Ye delivered "hate speech" that was inappropriate for an audience. According to insiders on the set, West doubled down on his anti-Semitic comments in this episode.

Kanye West also had Jeezy, with whom he worked on the Grammy-nominated album "Put On" from 2008, as a special guest. However, LeBron James was noticeably absent from the recording. The issue surrounding The Shop is not the first time West has used language that has been generally perceived to be racist or hate speech.

Ye's Other Recent Controversies

During an interview that took place a week ago with Tucker Carlson, Kanye West made antisemitic statements.
Motherboard from Vice News managed to track down the comments after they had been omitted, per Hollywood Reporter. In one of the clips, Kanye West whines about enrolling his children in a school that celebrates Kwanzaa. Ye said that he preferred his kids "knew Hanukkah than Kwanzaa."

"At least it will come with some financial engineering," he noted. Kanye West, the rapper-turned-fashion mogul, sparked outrage last Friday when he posted an antisemitic rant on Instagram, prompting the post to be deleted and West to be locked out of his account.

Yahoo! News reported that Twitter also took down Kanye West tweet and suspended him for posting the following: "I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE. "

"The funny thing is I actually can't be anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jews also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda," Ye added. The Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, and the Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance have all condemned Kanye West's controversial social media remarks.
