“I do find him different than he was back then,” JohnLegend said about KanyeWest's recent behavior.
“I do find him different than he was back then,” the singer said in a Nov. 3 interview on the podcast“But, you know, I think life happens to people, and I think the death of his mother probably had something to do with this,” he continued, citing the passing of Donda West in 2007. “I don’t want to play armchair psychologist, but he’s definitely changed and a lot of us who have known him over the years are really concerned about it.
“So when people who claim to be free thinkers or innovators or creative people just end up landing back at this centuries old meme of using the same stereotypes and tropes to malign Jews and instigate harm against Jews — this is an old but very dangerous tactic that has resulted in a lot of harm and a lot of death for people,” the singer added. “And we don’t need to do much digging to understand how evil anti-Blackness has been in this country, particularly.
Legend also insisted there’s “always a place for forgiveness,” but that doesn’t mean he thinks Ye should escape for his recent behavior. “That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t face consequences for what they do wrong,” he concluded. “But I also do believe in forgiveness.”
