Did Kanye West say something controversial again? He must have an album on the way. In 2005, three days after he released Late Registration, the full-time provocateur infamously said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” during a televised Hurricane Katrina relief event. Two days before 808s & Heartbreaks hit the shelfs in 2008, Kanye flipped out backstage at the VMAs and refused to perform after finding out Britney Spears would be performing first. In 2010, two weeks before My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy dropped, Kanye sat down for a contentious interview with Matt Lauer to discuss his notorious interruption of Taylor Swift’s award speech. During the rollout for 2016’s The Life of Pablo, Kanye went on a series of twitter rants, which included picking a fight with Wiz Khalifa, supporting the disgraced Bill Cosby, and pleading with Mark Zuckerberg to bail him out of debt. In 2018, a month before Ye was released, Kanye declared that African-American slavery was a ‘choice’.
