I told my story and made history12/19/2023 ![]() “So if I see a person that I admire talking about Donald Trump can think whatever he does,” he says, “I wonder if those thoughts, indirectly, aren’t hurting people who are already being hurt.” Kanye responds, “Well you got me, you got me,” before going on his anti-13th Amendment rant that drew Trump’s praise and may or may not have been inspired by conservative activist Candace Owens.įrom there, Letterman tries to get Kanye to condemn the Republican-led voter suppression efforts during the most recent midterm elections. “Then you don’t have a say in this,” Letterman shoots back to cheers from the audience. “I’ve never voted in my life,” Kanye answers. “Did you vote for Trump?” Letterman asks him. In the midst of an argument about his “fear” as a man during the #MeToo movement, Kanye says, “This is like my thing with Trump-we don’t have to feel the same way, but we have the right to feel what we feel.” When he wears his “Make America Great Again” hat, he says it’s “not about politics” but rather an attempt to break the stigma around showing support for Trump. Of course we saved the best for last… Letterman doesn’t ask Kanye about Trump, Kanye brings up that relationship on his own: “If you guys want these crazy ideas and these crazy stages and this crazy music and this crazy way of thinking,” he says, “there’s a chance if might come from a crazy person.” Ye, who stopped taking his medication a year ago, argues that his disease likely fuels his creativity: “When you’re bipolar, you have the potential to ramp up and it can take you to a point where you start acting erratic, as TMZ would put it,” the rapper says, referencing his on-air meltdown at that outlet’s offices last year.

That’s what we do, we tell our story and then people relate to that story.” But then, he adds, people latch onto that story and get mad when it goes in a direction they don’t expect. “He has this line that I love that says, ‘I told my story and made history’-like made his story and made history. “Well, we had a little beef last year,” Kanye says, before revealing that he is referring to Drake. Letterman responds with, “That’s fairly provocative.” We were probably most interested to hear that he brings up other artists he’s been at odds with:ĭuring a discussion about his lyrics, Kanye begins to say, “An artist which I will not mention, because I’m not allowed to mention him or any of his family members…” Five new episodes - including Kanye and Dave - are coming next Friday to post shared by David Letterman on at 7:00am PDT
