Trevor Addresses Kanye West -Beef- - Between The Scenes - The Daily Show.mp4

Say again Why am I beefing with yay that's a That's that's an interesting way to phrase it Because a beef has to go both ways No, it does. It genuinely does. I think first of all, you know in in my Limited understanding of the world beef has always been something that generally will happen between two hip-hop artists I was never beefing with Kanye West I was concerned about Kanye West and no and genuinely I mean this because if somebody says To me or to anyone that they have a mental health issue And they say to everyone that when they don't take their medication, they're unable to control themselves and then everyone ignores when that person is having an episode and they haven't taken their medication and then They platform the person and then they they put them up. I I sometimes think it's a little um It's a little shitty to be honest with you You know like my grandfather was bipolar and one thing we knew in the family was i'm not saying kanye is by the way I'm, just saying my grandfather was bipolar and one thing we knew was you know When he was having one of his episodes He could act in a certain way could do certain things you take the family car. He'd be gone He'd be driving but our job was to support him. He's like did he take his medication? What is he saying? What is he not saying? I said it would be weird if I was there going Oh my grandfather's by you know, he's having an episode again. I'm going viral tonight It's I think it's I think it's a little bit strange. And so it's it's interesting how You know you what you're asking me Makes sense because that's how you see the framing somebody having beef Even if you see in any of the comments I said about him is I concern definitely I grew up loving kanye there are few hip-hop artists who have shaped How I see music the punch lines that he had in every single song It was like listening to comedy the sketches that he had. He loves stand-up comedy. Do you know what I mean his mom? You know his mom's influence on him his influence on hip-hop culture his influence on fashion how he changed the paradigm I grew up loving this man. I still love him despite the ---- that he talks And so for me, it's not a beef But one thing i'll tell you is when I grew up in south africa One thing I loved was you grew up in a space where people would say buzz off jayla. We're gonna tell you to your face You know what? I mean? We're not gonna We're not gonna sit by and see you doing something and just act like oh, no, we didn't see it I sometimes feel like americans enjoy doing that. They see it. They see it. They see it And then something really bad happens and they're like, oh, I wish we had spoken about it. I wish someone had said something Yeah, i'm like no so so for me, you know I think there are elements of yay where he knows he knows when he's being an asshole and he's admitted this he knows He knows when he's pushing the envelope and he's trying to say but there are moments where I go people what what is happening here? Like what you know what I mean? So it's it's not beefing with somebody. I don't have beef with a human being who has expressed openly That they're dealing with a mental health issue. I don't have beef with that human being what I have beef with Is us as society not coming together around a person and going like hey, hey, maybe this is not the moment to put a microphone in your face So that you just go off saying everything if this is what you want to say when you're on your medication Then that's a different story But because you've told us that i'm not going to sit by and say that so if he wants to process it as beef I understand it. I've never had beef with him. I'm still playing college dropout I'm still playing the music. I still love the man that I think he is And I understand that he's gone through a lot, you know, and and I don't take that for granted but yeah, I i've promised myself i'll never be the person who just Sits by and gleefully says things about people that I care about And then also joins the group of mourners afterwards and acts like I wasn't part of it Too many people like to mourn you when you're dead and they don't say anything to you when you're alive So, I don't know where it'll end or it won't But that's me
