Stephen Jackson Addresses Kanye West’s Latest George Floyd Remarks:
Stephen Jackson has spoken out on behalf of the family of George Floyd, again in response to remarks made by the artist formerly known as Kanye West.
In a recent post shared to Instagram, Ye said he gave $2 million “out of my pocket for the family” to, in his words, help Floyd’s daughter.
“Now for Roxie Washington and Roxie Washington ALONE,” Ye, who’s continued in recent days to make harmful comments widely condemned as anti-Semitic, wrote in the since-removed post. “I gave 2 million dollars out of my pocket for the family. To help George’s daughter…Your daughter! I can guarantee that most of those that came for me after my comments didn’t do what I did! Even those with millions of dollars in the bank!”
In the same post, Ye addressed a recently announced $250 million lawsuit, which—as previously reported—sees Washington acting on behalf of her minor child, who is the sole beneficiary of Floyd’s estate.
“You’re either being controlled or you’re being greedy,” Ye wrote in the deleted post.
In a video response, Jackson urged Ye to “keep George’s name out your mouth.” He also questioned the $2 million figure mentioned in Ye’s IG post.
“First off, Roxanne could care less what you think about her hat. That’s number one,” Jackson said in the clip. “We ain’t gon’ talk about that bullshit you be wearing and marking it up for your own people to pay for. But we ain’t gon’ talk about that. You say stupid shit, you get stupid prizes. Nobody asked you to say nothing about George Floyd but you decided to say that on your own so you gon’ pay the consequences. Roxanne was minding her business, Gianna was minding her business. Oh, and also, Roxanne and Gianna and the family is two different people. She don’t stand with the family and the family don’t stand with her. They had different lawyers during the whole court process.”
Specifically addressing the donation-focused aspect of Ye’s latest remarks, Jackson referred to the artist as “delusional” when providing a contradictory figure.
“Kanye delusional,” he said. “You didn’t give Gianna $2 million. She got $250,000 that they broken down through the families that Roxanne is giving back to you.”
Ye has since responded to Jackson, albeit on the right-wing platform Parler, which he was recently reported to be buying. Worth noting again, of course, is that the CEO of Parlement Technologies is married to Candace Owens.
“I’m a digital prisoner right now but if you keep talking Ima keep talking,” Ye wrote on the platform, as seen in screenshots shared to Twitter and elsewhere. “If you shut the fuck up I’ll leave it alone.”
Earlier this month, Jackson spoke out in response to comments Ye made about Floyd’s murder during a Drink Champs interview, official footage of which was ultimately pulled. When addressing the handling of the interview in question, Drink Champs co-host N.O.R.E. apologized to Floyd’s family.
“I don’t support none of it,” N.O.R.E. said when calling into The Breakfast Club. “I don’t support the George Floyd comments, I don’t support the anti-Semitic [comments]. That’s all I have is Jewish friends, all I have is Black friends. That’s it.”
