Kanye recently sat down with Piers Morgan, who asked him about the controversy surrounding his anti-Semitic tweets.
Morgan started off asking Kanye, "My question for you is: Do you now regret saying ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’? Are you sorry you said that? Do you think it matters?" Kanye then replied, "No! Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not." Morgan shot back, telling Kanye, "You should be."
From there, Morgan told Kanye that his comments are "as racist as anything you say you’ve been through and any pain you’ve experienced." This led to Kanye laughing at the host, who then told him, "It’s the same thing! Racism is racism. And you know that, I think. Don’t you?"
Kanye replied to Morgan, stating, "Yeah, obviously. That’s why I said it." Kanye also stated that he was "fighting fire with fire" with his comments, and he went on to issue an apology.
Kanye stated, "I will say I'm sorry for the people that I hurt with the 'death con'—the confusion that I caused. I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I’m sorry for the families that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through. And that I used my platform where you say ‘hurt people hurt people’—and I was hurt."
