N.O.R.E. Apologizes For George Floyd Comments

N.O.R.E. apologizes multiple times for the comments Kanye West made about George Floyd on the latest episode of "Drink Champs" his team put out over the weekend. The "Drink Champs" host was in full damage control mode claiming he didn't know Ye's statements were going to be extremely hurtful to listeners. N.O.R.E. says he later checked Kanye for the GF and "White Lives Matter" remarks later in the interview but says he was too drunk to make an impactful moment. He also claimed to have uploaded the wrong edit without combing through it an error he says the team will correct in the future. The veteran rapper shamelessly admitted he didn't want Ye to walk out of the interview if he was silenced  N.O.R.E. defended his show's position, noting the show isn't named "Think Champs" to stage political theater but says his relationship with Ye is solid and wanted to give him the courtesy to speak. He also noted that Loud Records founder Steve Rifkind and several other Jewish associates of his were in the room and used them as gauge meters for Ye's anti-Semitic rants. Following the interview, George Floyd family attorney Lee Merritt says they're looking into potential lawsuits to thwart Kanye's comments another reason for N.O.R.E. to backpedal like a strong safety.
