Well-respected Drink Champs host and co-founder N.O.R.E.is speaking out to apologize for some of the comments Kanye West made during his appearance on his show.
While appearing on the @BreakfastClub, N.O.R.E. made it clear that he “supports freedom of speech. I support anybody not being censored but I do not support anybody being hurt. I did not realize that the George Floyd statements on my show were so hurtful.” He went on to explain that Kanye initially told his producers that he would walk out if things didn’t go his way. “I didn’t want a Birdman moment.”
N.O.R.E went on to share that he later checked Ye about the George Floyd comment and the White Live Matter remarks but it was so later in the episode and I was already inebriated at that time thy maybe people looked over it.
What Did Kanye West Say
During the show, Kanye was in the middle of referencing Candace Owens’ new documentary, “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM,” Ye when he attempted to tie Floyd’s death to fentanyl. As we previously reported, Floyd’s death was of course, ruled a homicide.

“I watched the George Floyd documentary that Candace Owens put out. One of the things that his two roommates said was they want a tall guy like me, and the day that he died, he said a prayer for eight minutes,” West said. “They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that.”
Floyd died in May 2020 after officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Despite Ye’s claim, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office ruled Floyd’s death was a homicide caused by “cardiopulmonary arrest,” complicated by “restraint and neck compression” while he was being subdued by police. Additionally, an independent autopsy commissioned by Floyd’s family ruled “asphyxiation from sustained pressure was the cause” of Floyd’s death.
Chauvin was eventually sentenced to 22½ years behind bars last year on murder and manslaughter charges in Minnesota, and 21 years in July after a federal trial.
