Part 27: Gilbert Arenas Explains How to Cancel Kanye West
Part 1: Gilbert Arenas on Stephen A Smith Calling LeBron "Weak" on His Show for Confronting Him
--------
Gilbert Arenas shared his thoughts on public figures and the notion of being "canceled." The conversation revolved around controversial artist R. Kelly and people's inability to resist indulging in his music despite the serious allegations against him. Arenas argued that if R. Kelly were to release a new album today, very few would have the discipline not to listen, suggesting a widespread human tendency to separate art from the artist. The discussion stemmed from a broader talk about cancel culture, where Vlad pointed out that true cancellation is nearly impossible unless an individual is completely silenced, such as being imprisoned. Arenas and Vlad highlighted that as long as an artist continues creating content, they maintain a fan base, regardless of public opinion.
