In a bold confrontation, Suge Knight called out Kanye West for his disgraceful comments about the children of JAY-Z and Beyoncé.
During a candid interview from prison, Suge Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records, unequivocally criticized Kanye West for his derogatory remarks about the young Carter twins, Rumi and Sir. He expressed his disapproval, stating, “We never, never disrespect no one’s kids. You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s children and call them ‘retarded.’ That’s what we won’t do.”
Suge Knight emphasized the seriousness of West’s actions, highlighting the consequences that come with such disrespect. He further elaborated, “I hold people in Hip Hop, people in our community, to higher standards than that. We came a long way as Black people, as slaves, not to protect people’s kids or people that are disabled. That’s not funny to me, not one bit.”
Taking a stronger stance, Suge Knight didn’t mince words, calling Kanye a “bitch” and recommending an “old-fashioned ass-whooping” as a fitting response. He shifted gears, offering praise for Beyoncé and her family’s positive impact on the community, saying, “What Beyoncé does for Hip Hop and the community of our people, that woman works really, really hard. Her sister, her whole family is good people.”
In a controversial move, Kanye West had taken to social media to mock the younger children of JAY-Z and Beyoncé, making claims about their supposed learning disabilities. His posts included statements like, “WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS. THEYRE RETARDED.” He added, “HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE,” showing a lack of sensitivity and understanding.
After deleting his initial post, Kanye attempted to justify his actions by claiming he removed the offensive messages to avoid his social media accounts being canceled. His follow-up remarks, however, were no less incendiary: “I TOOK IT DOWN LIKE DOWN SYNDROME. GET IT. AM I RIGHT. FUCK THE WORLD. REAL TALK. FUCK EEEEVVEEERREEE BODY.” Kanye’s online tirade continued with attacks on the couple: “AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR RETARDED ASS KIDS.”
While JAY-Z and Beyoncé have remained silent on the matter, opting not to publicly respond to Kanye’s comments, sources reveal that they are contemplating legal action against their once-friend and collaborator. It’s a situation that has stirred the entertainment world, reflecting how personal and professional lines can dramatically blur.
Suge Knight’s defense of JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s family highlights the broader issues of respect and accountability within the community. Meanwhile, the potential legal battle looms, showing the serious repercussions of crossing certain lines.
