That was good marketing because now everybody's 118 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: talking about it. 119 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a nice little spin on it. 120 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: All right. 121 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: So Kanye Wes has done an article with Vanity Fair 122 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 3: where he's talking about his apology advertisement he did in 123 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal. I know you saw that where 124 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: he was apologizing to people he's heard talking about his 125 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: accident five years ago that broke his jawn, caused surgery. 126 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 3: He talks about his bipolar disorder, and then he also 127 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: said that he's not looking for sympathy or free pass 128 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: but he does aspire to earn your forgiveness. Well, he 129 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: now has spoken to Vanity Fair about that apology, and 130 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: you know, he's just saying, and the doctor is saying 131 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 3: that people are skeptical. A lot of people did say 132 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 3: that in my comments that they don't believe him. Kanye 133 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: was saying that he lost touch at reality and all 134 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 3: of that. But Kanye is responding and he said, it 135 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: is my understanding that I was in the top ten 136 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: most listened to artists overall in the US on Spotify 137 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five and last week in most days 138 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: as well. My upcoming album, Bully is currently one of 139 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: the most anticipated pre saves of any album on Spotify too. 140 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: He goes on to talk about his streaming numbers. He said, 141 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 3: I owe a huge apology once again for everything that 142 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: I said that hurt the Jewish and Black communities in particular. 143 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: All of it went too far. 144 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 3: And so what he's trying to say is he's not 145 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: doing this because he has an album coming out. He's 146 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: already doing the numbers he's already got the acclaim, so 147 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: he doesn't really need. 148 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 10: To do that, but it is good marketing. It's always 149 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 10: something before album come out. 150 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 11: Now. 151 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 3: They asked him in Vanity Fair, when did you begin 152 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 3: to regret some of your public statements and actions? And 153 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: he said not until I was out of the episode 154 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: and in treatment. Did the reality set in of what 155 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 3: I did while I was disconnected from my true self? 156 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: He said, every day that I wake up, it's a 157 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: checklist of everything that I said, at least what I 158 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: can recall while in a bipolar episode. All of the 159 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: family bonds, deep relationships and like long friendships that I 160 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: worked so hard to build over so many years were 161 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: all tarnished. And so he's basically saying he changed his 162 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: medication and he was depressed, and his wife recognized that. 163 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: So they've been trying to see what's effective for him. 164 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: And he was at a rehab facility in Switzerland, so 165 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: we'll see, and. 166 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: I am hoping facility in Switzerland is crazy. 167 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: Well, I'm hoping that this does mean that he's really 168 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: finally back to the old Kanye. 169 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: We'll see, we shall see. 170 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: All right, Well, that is your yet when we come back, 171 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: we have about last night where we discussed what we 172 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: did last night.
