Kanye West calls the #MeToo movement '1984 mind control' after including Marilyn Manson at 'Donda' events
- Kanye West said the #MeToo movement is "1984 mind control" on the Drinks Champs podcast.
- The rapper also said the movement is "mob mentality" and "power and politics."
Ye just slammed the #MeToo movement as "Nineteen Eighty-Four mind control."
In a two-and-a-half hour interview on the podcast Drink Champs, Ye also described the movement as a "mob mentality."
While talking about a recent listening party for his latest album, "Donda," he addressed the fact that he shared the stage with Marilyn Manson, who actress Evan Rachel Wood has accused of domestic abuse.
Manson was also accused of sexual assault by "Game of Thrones" actress Esmé Bianco. Manson has denied the allegations from both Wood and Bianco.
"All the #MeToo - like, when I sit next to Marilyn Manson and DaBaby after both of them got canceled for five songs, you know, it's like they can't cancel a song," Ye said. "They'll hit you with the accusations or somebody who you was with 10 years ago."
He continued: "And also, there's women who've been through really serious things, pulled in alleys against they will - that's different than a hug, but it's classified as the same thing."
"It's power and politics," the rapper said. "You know, power-hungry maniacs and just, control. This is Nineteen Eighty-Four mind control that we in. And mob mentality."
"I'm above cancel culture," Ye said. "I love it, I'm above it."
