Kanye West is ‘in a good space’ with new wife, Ice Cube reveals to Piers Morgan
It comes after Ye was heavily criticised for a number of outbursts, including several vile antisemitic statements and erratic tweets, which led to ex wife Kim Kardashian breaking down in tears on an episode of The Kardashians.
But speaking of his current space, Ice Cube told Piers Morgan he is “hopeful” Ye will “come out the other side”. The former Good Morning Britain presenter opened up on his experience interviewing Ye and questioned rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube’s relationship with him.
Piers said on his TalkTV show: “The last rapper that I interviewed in this very studio was Ye, Kanye West. You’ve had a wobbly relationship with him, you’re back on track. In fact you saw him a few days ago…”
Ice Cube replied: “Yeah a couple of weeks ago. I mean we were always cool. He just… he spoke my name without really explaining what he meant and I really couldn’t leave that statement out there without… he never explained what he meant and so I had to kind of rebut that but since then we’ve talked, and I think Ye understands that generalising will always get you in more H๏τ water than being very specific…
“I believe he’s doing great. He’s still dealing with some people trying to hold on to his money, but for the most part I believe he’s in a good space. I think he’s learned a lot from this past year and hopefully he’ll come out better on the other side.”
When Piers went on to ask how the star felt about some of Ye’s most outrageous outbursts, Ice Cube replied: “I felt that if he was really upset with specific people, that the message he was saying would hijack what he was really upset about and that’s kind of what happened. You can’t just generalise, you have to be specific. Especially if you’re taking about anybody, any race of people, you have to be specific on who exactly you’re talking about.”
