It was only just over a week ago that Jay-Z and Kanye West were recording together in a studio in Richmond in Melbourne, and now Mr. Beyoncé has stood up for his mate Kanye in an interview over the controversial comments he made about George W. Bush in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
West’s statement that ‘George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people’ still grates with Dubya today he revealed in his recent memoirs. However, Jay-Z is sticking by his mate. “I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again … it felt like it was being done to black people,” he told a recent interviewer.
“Like all you saw on the news was black people with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by. It’s like, What is that? If that had happened anywhere else besides New Orleans, would the response been so slow? Would Bush been on the ground? You have to ask these sort of questions.”
