Kanye West revealed to Fox News host Tucker Carlson Thursday night that he was shocked to learn that his former wife Kim Kardashian had a close relationship with the Clintons.
Close enough that they were just a phone call away, Kanye explained in the exclusive interview. Close enough to say ‘Tell Kanye to say this,’ or close enough to use our platforms to push vaccinations, he continued.
Carlson told his viewers that Kanye was surprised to learn after his divorce that ‘his former wife had a close and secretive relationship with the Clintons, and that they were working on her to influence him to read from the script.’
‘It was interesting, friend of mine told me that Kris and Kim had called him because he had influence inside the black community,’ Kanye said. ‘And had called him to say, to get him to influence people to take the vaccination.
‘And I don’t have opinion on that I just wanted to state that as a statement. It was wild that I didn’t know how close my own wife was to the Clintons — I didn’t know, I didn’t realize it at the time.’
Carlson asked Kanye if he felt at times like he was being manipulated by political forces through his wife.
‘Attempted manipulation, me not saying I liked Trump was a form of manipulation,’ he said.
Kanye sat down for the interview with Carlson after he returned from Paris Fashion Week where he sparked controversy with his ‘White Lives Matter’ fashion show concept.
The interview – which aired at 8pm EDT on Fox News – came just days after the 45-year-old rapper created widespread controversy when he sported a ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirt at his YZY fashion show in Paris, which was widely condemned by fans and fashion industry luminaries and led Adidas to put its relationship with him ‘under review.’

The rapper compared the stunt to Tonya Harding instinctively landing the first triple Axel by an American woman at the 1991 US Figure Skating Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
‘I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy it feels right. Hits using a gut instinct, connection with god and just brilliance. They asked Tonya Harding how she did the triple flip and she was in so much practice that when it was time for her to skate in a competitive format it just happened. It happened outside of practice that happened in the real format.’
‘That’s what’s happening. God is preparing us for the real battles. We are in a battle with the media.’
Kanye, who arrived at the Los Angeles studio sporting a lanyard he had designed with a photo of a baby’s ultrasound, also opened up about why he’s pro-life.
‘It just represents life. I’m pro-life,’ Kanye responded when asked about his design. Carlson told him, ‘you wear it like a badge.’
‘I don’t care about people’s responses but I care about the fact that there are more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point,’ Kanye said.
‘That 50 percent of black death in America is abortion. I really don’t care about people’s response to that. I perform for an audience of one and that is God. ‘

In the interview, West also opened up about supporting former President Donald Trump
Earlier Thursday prior to the interview, he could be seen grinning ear to ear while looking at his phone, as he headed to a meeting with Carlson.
Kanye initially looked more stone faced as he deplaned in one of his now-standard all-black casual outfits.
He looked comfortable in a nondescript black hoodie, though he kept the hood down in favor of a black baseball cap reading 2023 on the bill, presumably in honor of Yeezy’s Spring 2023 show.

He wore a black baseball cap and had some of Kanye’s silver reflective wraparound sunglasses perched on his head.
As they stood around the luggage, Kanye stopped so show his pal something on his phone that seemed to be delighting him, which also elicited a smile from the other man.
According to TMZ, the rapper — who has changed his legal name to Ye — didn’t waste much time before heading to his meeting with Tucker Carlson.

Meanwhile, one of the only famous friends coming to the defense of Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband at the moment is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who called the musician a ‘free thinker’ and says his message was ‘misconstrued.’
Diddy, 52, said ‘My boy is a super, super, super free thinker’ in an interview on ‘The Breakfast Club on Wednesday.
‘And a lot of times, what he means is, like, misconstrued, you know what I’m saying?’ the record executive added.
When host Charlamagne, 44, interjected to say, ‘You gotta stop making excuses for him’ he replied, ‘No, no, I’m not making excuses, I’m just sayin’ if he did it, that’s the way he thinks.’
