Kanye West On ‘Black Genocide’: ‘Abortion Culture Teaches People That A Child Isn’t A Real Soul’

On the latest episode of Nick Cannon’s podcast, “Cannon’s Class,” entertainer and now 2020 presidential candidate Kanye West discussed his recent breakdown over abortion at a South Carolina campaign event. Kanye said he believes, “[God] wants me to say this now,” adding that people decided to keep their unborn children after connecting to him.

“If God didn’t want me to run on stage and say Beyonce had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row,” West said jokingly, comparing the most recent backlash to his 2009 controversy with Taylor Swift at the VMAs.

In what is being billed as “Part 1” of their conversation, West and Cannon discussed a range of topics include abortion, his faith, his 2016 hospitalization, fashion design, and his political affiliation called “The Birthday Party.”

When Cannon brought up how media and fans blasted West for his tearful campaign speech in July, West responded that it shows the world is “sick.”
