Jay-Z Defends Kanye’s Comments About Bush Following Hurricane Katrina

In a new interview with the Associated Press, Jay-Z comes to fellow rapper Kanye West’s defense for comments West made more than 5 years ago following Hurricane Katrina. West was critical of what he believed was Bush’s slow response to help the affected region and said, “Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

Jay-Z told the Associated Press that he agreed with West at the time:

“I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again … it felt like it was being done to black people…. Like all you saw on the news was black people with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by.”

He also thinks it’s telling that Bush has called the Kanye incident the worst moment of his presidency:

“Just the fact that he thinks that the worst thing that happened to him is Kanye saying something about him. Like, what? That alone shows you where his mind is. Are you kidding me?”
