Today Kanye West is set to appear on TMZ with conservative Candance Owens but before that could unfold he crashed the newsroom to go on one of his famous Kanye rants. He let is be known that wearing the MAGA hat was an act of free thought:

“I felt freedom in doing something that everybody tells you not to do”

He also shared that he feels slavery was a choice:

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all. It’s like we’re mentally in prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because ‘slavery’ goes too direct to the idea of blacks. Slavery is to blacks as the Holocaust is to Jews. Prison is something that unites as one race, blacks and whites, that we’re the human race.”

Later, he addressed the newsroom and asked if they think he’s thinking freely. Van from TMZ, our new favorite person, stands up and delivers the mic drop:

“I actually don’t think you’re thinking anything.” A very passionate speech from Van, shouted across the room, ensues. The clip leaves us with Kanye apologetically walking over to his desk. To be continued!
