Chris Redd Discusses Kanye’s Pro-Trump ‘SNL’ Rant

Written by on November 9, 2022


Chris Redd has shed more light on Kanye West’s infamous pro-Donald Trump rant that took place during the 2018 season premiere of Saturday Night Live.

After performing on the September 2018 episode of SNL, Kanye launched into a pro-Trump rant, which didn’t make it on-air but saw the audience shower Ye with boos.

In a new interview with the Daily Beast, the SNL alum shared his thoughts about Kanye’s appearance on SNL, revealing that he delivered a similar speech during dress rehearsal. 

“I remember the dress rehearsal where he tried his dress rehearsal version of that, and I heard it, but there was music playing still so people were like sitting there and vibing,” Redd shared. “But I was listening to his words, and I was like, bro, he’s about to pull some bullshit. And I’m not about to be on stage for that. I’m not going to entertain this. Like, I’ve been a fan of Kanye my whole life. And I miss the old Kanye.”

Redd added, “He came in there wanting to shoot everybody—verbally—and I just felt that was disrespectful, because we’re all grown adults. And now all of us don’t like you. He just came in there with a chip on his shoulder, ready to talk shit.”

Kanye’s original speech fell in line with his pro-Trump rhetoric at the time. “The Blacks want always Democrats… you know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare… does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan,” West said while wearing a red MAGA hat. “There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.”

In other Kanye-related news, the rapper has been slapped with a lawsuit over his Andre 3000 collaboration “Life Of The Party.”

TMZ reports KRS-One’s Boogie Down Productions has sued Kanye, claiming he didn’t ask for permission to sample the group’s iconic 1986 diss track “South Bronx.”

The lawsuit alleges Ye and his partner, Alex Klein, “sold around 11K Stem Players within the first 24 hours of its release, raking in around $2.2 million dollars … but claims they [Boogie Down Productions] never got permission to use the sample even though the company says Ye’s team initially reached out to try to license it.”

Boogie Down Productions is requesting that the song be blocked from streaming services, with Kanye handing over any profits that he’s received from “Life Of The Party.”
