While chatting with Bloomberg Politics’ John Heilemann for “With All Due Respect,” Q-Tip speaks on what he thinks about Kanye West’s recent hospitalization. He even spoke a bit about Kanye’s Donald Trump remarks during his concert.
Tip says,
“That’s my brother. I just uh…It’s difficult because I love him. That’s my brother, you know what I’m saying? I reached out to him and I’m hoping that we just get to talk. I just probably will leave it there because I really care about that dude, but his remarks are something that require he and I having a real serious discussion.”
He went on to speak on Kanye’s Trump remarks and Dave Chapelle saying ‘give him a chance.’ That’s pretty much where everyone is with it right about now. Tip says,
“I guess we have no choice but to give him a chance, right? The platform he ran on is very scary. It’s extremely polarizing, it’s divisive, it’s not necessarily inclusive, and it’s dangerous, and it’s one that brings about an almost absolute fear. Given those kind of signifiers, I wouldn’t give someone like that a chance per se, but the actuality of the situation is he is the president and people voted for him, although I didn’t vote for him. He’s incumbent and he’s my president now.”
