He likewise uncovered that Ye had taken steps to leave the recording and that he didn’t actually acknowledge what West had said until he rewatched the episode. I didn’t think he planned to spread this ideology, I didn’t think he planned to go there, N.O.R.E. said at the 9:13-mark of the interview, I felt that he planned to have two or three drinks. He smoked blunts with us, I thought it was planned to be cheerful.
Kanye West is spreading reprehensible lies about George Floyd's death. Kanye West is disgraceful.

N.O.R.E. proceeded, He threatened my producer, that in the event that he was unable to film he would leave. We were trying to…That’s how our interviews go. We try to ease up you up, and afterwards, we get you smashed and afterwards we inspire you to go to our side. We attempted to do that. We did, yet it’s Ye. I learned my lesson, because at the end of the day, as a journalist, I did my job. I let an individual talk. As a journalist, you are expected to have no opinion, no choices, and absolutely no part of that. In any case, I Kinda I’m Black. I’m George Floyd. I’m Virgil [Abloh]. I’m that. What’s more, I didn’t know until I saw it. I don’t watch my own interviews, I simply believe I’m that dope. Along these lines, when I watched myself, I was humiliated. I was like, ‘Wait a minute, what did you let him just say? Rosenberg then really looks at N.O.R.E. in a way that questions their subject over blatantly false statements. Eventually, N.O.R.E. is taking the blame for the humiliating moment.

Also, prepare to have your mind blown. Individuals will pardon me and I could pull off that. In any case, that is not the very thing that I’m doing. I feel like I bombed my people. I called ‘The Breakfast Club’: since I needed to apologize to my people. I want to be frank. I support freedom of speech, he proceeded. I support anyone not being edited. Yet, I don’t uphold anyone being harmed, N.O.R.E told The Breakfast Club to have Charlamagne Tha God. I didn’t understand that the George Floyd articulations made by Kanye on my show were so destructive. You need to understand that it was the initial five minutes of the show – like when he strolled in, he let my maker know that assuming we quit filming, he’ll leave. So I didn’t need a Birdman moment, similar to when he left, so I wanted the man should talk. N.O.R.E. was gently reprimanded by Charlamagne for not challenging Kanye West prior to the long interview, and for having him on the show by any means. As your companion, I let you know last week to avoid this [interview], he said. I told you this two times.
