Suge Knight openly criticized Ye (formerly Kanye West) for his comments about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids earlier this month during an explosive X tirade.
Knight joined the Art of Dialogue podcast earlier this week, where he targeted West and put the embattled Chicago rapper on blast for his flagrant remarks about Jay and Bey’s seven-year-old twins.
“I need to holla at Kanye. We never, never disrespect no one’s kids,” he said. “You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s children and call them r——d. That’s what we won’t do. It’s real consequences for those type of actions.”
The former Death Row boss continued: “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. He needs an old-fashioned ass-whooping.”
Knight went as far as calling the rapper a “b—h” for his comments about Rumi and Sir Carter earlier in March, in which West questioned the twins’ mental abilities and made unsubstantiated claims about in vitro fertilization (IVF). West later took down the post claiming that there was a possibility his X account would have been deactivated for allowing it to stay up.
TMZ later caught up with Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles, to get his reaction to West’s offensive comments. “People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry,” he said on March 21. “I’m hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health.”
