With the entire cast of SNL behind him, West began the talk by singing, I wanna cry right now, black man in America, supposed to keep what youre feelin inside right now.
He continued,The blacks want always Democrats You know its like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare Does anybody know about that? Thats a Democratic plan, he continued. Theres so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, How could you like Trump? Hes racist. Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism, I wouldve moved out of America a long time ago.
Throughout the videos, Rock can be heard laughing and whispering oh my God while the audience boos West.
West was was a last-minute replacement for Ariana Grande, who dropped out as musical guest on SNL. The rapper performed I Love It alongside Lil Pump and revealed a new collaboration with Teyana Taylor, We Got Love.
