N.O.R.E. Apologizes for Kanye Interview & Explains His Side: Listen

We all have watched the Kanye West interview (or at least parts of it) on the Drink Champs podcast where he’s talked some outlandish stuff publicly.

One of the comments made by Ye was about George Floyd, alleging that he died from fentanyl instead of the police officer killing him with his knee on George’s neck. The police officer’s “knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” he said.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Of course, there was a big backlash about it as it was pure misinformation and a irresponsible statement not based on facts. N.O.R.E has been criticized by fans as well, as he chose to sit there and not correct ‘Ye over the false statements.

The New York rapper called into The Breakfast Club show this morning on Power 105 to talk about the interview, apologizing to the George Floyd family and others who may have been hurt. He did make it a point to tell the hosts that he supports freedom of speech, however. Listen below.
