Everyone's been talking about Kanye West's recent endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump, with most of the response leaning towards disappointment. In a new interview with Breakfast Club, Roc-A-Fella co-founder and movie producer Kareem 'Biggs' Burke gave his input on the situation.
At the 9:30 mark during Biggs' interview on Breakfast Club, he explains that he hasn't gotten a chance to really read what Kanye has had to say on Twitter, but he is aware of the new music on the way. "I keep hearing about it, I've just been really busy all week with the film but [...] I have been hearing about some of the [tweets]," he told DJ Envy.
"Everyday everybody telling me he's tweeting something else," he added. When asked if it hurts to hear Kanye come out in support for Donald Trump in a big way, he calmly responded, "I don't know what's behind that, so you know a lot of times... Like at the same time I'm, you know, I'm promoting a movie talking about compassion over punishment, and to forgive prisoners. So for me to say, you know, to look at Kanye and have anything to say against that it'd be kinda tough."
He says that he's not ready to give up on Kanye just yet, explaining, "I would need to know what's the intent and why he's saying it and if it's a disagreement, it's a disagreement. He's just another person who has an opinion, but people will look at it because he has a huge platform that he can't say certain things, you know." Looking forward to hearing what he talked about with Charlamagne in his upcoming interview with Kanye, Biggs added, "I would like to understand the intent."
As for his thoughts on Trump, Biggs is asked if there's anything he loves about Trump, thinking about his response for a moment before giving a resounding "No."
