Kanye West has gotten himself into a number of controversies due to his remarks, Paris Fashion Week, and social media. West appeared in an interview with Tucker Carlson where he discussed his opinions surrounding his recent social media outburst after deleting the majority of his Instagram postings.
Lizzo's weight comments were referred to by Kanye as "genocide of the Black race."
Among the many topics Kanye covered in the interview, he also dragged Lizzo into a contentious discussion about the body positivity movement while calling her a "wonderful buddy." Kanye claimed that Lizzo is the target of "bots" on Instagram who criticise her for losing weight in an effort to spread the myth that being overweight is the new ideal. The rapper continued, "It's actually clinically unhealthy. For people to promote that, it's demonic. It’s a genocide of the Black race. They want to kill us in any way they can."

As for his relationship with the former US President Trump, he said he likes Trump because, "All the values, the conservative values, just line up. Come on man, Trump's the s**t. He has his own buildings."
