Is Kanye in Danger after Akademiks Interview

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss a recent interview with Kanye West. They talk about Kanye’s controversial comments, including his criticism of the music industry and his claim of being “evil”. They also discuss his sudden decision to go to Japan due to safety concerns, and his unusual choice of attire for the interview. The hosts express their concerns about Kanye’s actions and question his motives.
Kanye West is seen as a controversial figure who often criticizes the music industry, but his motives seem self-centered rather than aimed at improving conditions for all artists. He has been accused of using his platform to air personal grievances rather than providing valuable information to his audience. The discussion also touched on the dynamics of record labels favoring new artists over veterans, and the perceived artificial nature of celebrity relationships, using Kanye’s relationship with Kim Kardashian as an example. Kanye’s actions and statements often seem to be more about gaining attention than making meaningful change.
The discussion revolves around Kanye West’s recent actions and statements, including his move to Japan and controversial tweets. There’s speculation about whether Kanye is genuinely in danger or if it’s all a publicity stunt. The conversation also touches on Kanye’s mental health, his claims of being a victim of MK Ultra, and his mother’s mysterious death. The hosts question if Kanye is fighting against the music industry or if he’s just playing a role assigned to him.
Kanye West recently did a live stream where he previewed songs from his new project. Some people believe he’s using these streams as a marketing strategy, rather than genuinely sharing his work. There’s debate about whether Kanye is truly against the music industry or if he’s just using it to his advantage. Meanwhile, a new show called “Believer vs. Unbeliever” has been launched on a second channel, and viewers are encouraged to check it out and subscribe.

Hey, guys, I hope all is well. Welcome back to the Truth Talk podcast. In today’s episode, I’m joined by my cousin Tridel. Hey, what’s up, guys? This is Trudelle from what’s the Word? I just want to say if you guys can give me some love, so show some support on my channel. I’m gonna put the link in the description below. Subscribe and show me some love on the channel, guys, in today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about the new Kanye interview he did with DJ academics. Let’s get right into it. So there’s been a few of you guys in the comments requesting that I talk about this interview.

I really wasn’t gonna talk about it because I feel like everything that Kanye is doing right now seems oddly calculated for this album that he’s about to drop. But so many of you guys were requesting it, and then, like, he said some things that did have me. You know, it made me want to speak. It made me want to talk about it. Specifically certain comments about artists in the music industry and how the record label uses them. So it kind of caught my interest, and I said, you know, since you guys are requesting that I do it, So I said, you know what? Let’s.

Let’s talk about the interview. So for those that don’t know, recently Kanye west did an interview with DJ Akademiks. And once again, that set the Internet on fire, as nobody can stop talking about what he was wearing, which they’re calling a black Klan’s outfit. And also some of the things he said during the interview, he basically called out the music industry like he’s been doing. He also called out Playboi Carti. He called out Virgil, even though Virgil’s not here. He called out Kim Kardashian, basically repeated what he said in the tweets about them trafficking and how they’re taking advantage of his kids and all that.

And one of the most important things he said, which he repeated twice during the interview, was that he’s evil. He said this out of his own mouth. He had no issues with it. He said he was evil. And when academics ask him to explain himself, he basically just says that he’s evil. Again, why say Virgil after he passed? You know? You know, they always say sometimes, you know, when someone passes away, you know, can’t be for the dead man. You know, it feels like you still have a little bit of animosity there. I’m evil. You don’t think about, like, his family and people, other people that love Him.

I am an evil person. You don’t date him. I feel like you’ve always represented God fearing ideals, though. Yeah. So how does that. How could you identify a person? God has the wrath. You only play with God for so long. He also compared himself to the closest thing to Jesus Christ. Y’all don’t go to church. God is an angry God. God is a jealous God. What are you talking about? I’m the closest thing to God on earth and I act just like how God acts. Like I go up when people. Whatever interview you did previous to the interview of this interview, I guarantee you it’s going to be more of a blessing than the previous interview.

So what does God do? Bless. These are just some of the wild things he did in this interview. Now, one of the most concerning things he said was that he was leaving to Japan because he feared for his safety. And this is quite interesting because when he did this interview was the same day that he was tweeting out the stuff about Jay Z’s kids and tweeting all the stuff about Kim Kardashian and then claiming that while he was in the middle of going on this rant on Twitter, somebody knocked on his door and he was fearing for his life.

So towards the end of the interview, Kanye cuts it short and tells academics that he has to leave and that he’s going to Japan. Now, this is raising a lot of concern because people are wondering if Kanye is going to Japan because he’s fearing for his safety, specifically due to the fact that he was saying that while he was tweeting these things, he, he felt that there was people at his door coming after him. And then he just goes off and leaves to Japan. So the question is, is Kanye being targeted? So tr. Did you, did you see the recent interview? Yeah, I was definitely intrigued by it.

You know, what’s funny is that, you know, I was telling my son that I was about to, you know, do this, this podcast with you, and he says, are you guys going to talk about the black. The black suit, you know, that Kanye had? And, and I said, yeah, we’re going to talk about that because it’s, you know, it’s really shocking that he’s going to these extremes to, you know, to, you know, either, yeah, for a publicity stunt. You know, like you said, it could be a publicity stunt, or it can also be that he’s into some other stuff as well.

You know, like he’s into some other beliefs or he’s into something. And, and you know, the interview was pretty shocking. You know, all the words and how he presented was funny that he wasn’t wearing the. The suit. You know, they. They played that part where he wasn’t wearing the suit. I guess he wasn’t even aware about the cameras were rolling at the time. And then, you know, then he threw the suit on, and then, you know, started talking his interview. But, yeah, it was crazy. That’s important that you say that, because it lets people know off the top, this suit is not something that he’s actually walking around in because it’s what he believes in or whatever.

He’s doing it for a public statement. That’s the whole purpose of him wearing this suit. Now, my concerns is, is that regardless of what he is trying to implement or say for a reason of why he’s wearing this suit, it’s not something that he should be wearing, because we all know that there’s a lot of controversy, hate, and violence associated with that suit. And even I did a video a few months ago about Hitler and all the connection to the occult. So it’s not like Hitler was against the occult or anything like that. You know, this is someone who also utilized it and carried it out in a massive scale and in a terrible way.

You know, the suit represents a lot of history. And he also mentioned that everybody’s against him because he didn’t want to agree with the. The way they wanted to do things for Kanye. So I don’t know. It’s really confusing what Kanye’s talking about right. Right now, the first thing that I want to talk about for sure, is the reason for this right now. Because realistically, historically, Kanye has shown us time and time again that this is a technique of his. Whenever he has a project coming out or something that he needs promotion for, he says the most controversial things he can come up with.

Now, does that mean that everything he’s saying is a lie? No, I think that some of the things he said are true and are important. But is the intentions of the reason that he’s saying it that is concerning to me, because I know that he’s not just doing this simply off the fact to inform or to, you know, let the world know the truth. It seems like he’s doing this to be able to manipulate his audience, to get them on his side and to basically fight this battle with him, which is against the institution, the record label, which, at the end of the day, if it’s Kanye trying to bring change to the industry, that changes everything, that actually makes it positive.

But it doesn’t seem like that’s his concern. His concern is solely about himself. How the record industry is doing him, how things are going for him, how it needs to be better for him. And there’s a lot of things in this con, in this interview, that rub me the wrong way. Specifically when he said that he’s the closest thing to Jesus. Kanye is not the closest thing to Jesus. He’s actually the furthest thing from Jesus when we see that in his actions all the time. Specifically, he was promoting an adult film site and also his promotion of adult content on Twitter.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s something that happened recently where he shared some adult content on Twitter. Is that true? Did you see that? No, I didn’t see that. But, you know, obviously, Kanye walks around with his wife, you know, half naked. They said that they’re getting a divorce. Did you see that? Or that they’re splitting up? No, I haven’t. I haven’t heard any of that. But he has been, you know, traveling by himself a lot lately. He hasn’t been with her ever since the Grammy situation. Kanye hasn’t been with her. Well, I’m not sure about that.

But what I am sure about is that if I’m not mistaken, they’re reporting on the media right now that Kanye and Bianca split and Kanye made a song for her. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I didn’t really look into that because that’s not really important to me. But back to my point, the reason that I consider Kanye a double agent controlled opposition, playing both sides is because this is what he does. Every time he comes off as, oh, I’m attacking the system. But then when you listen to why he’s attacking the system is because I’m God, because I’m the best, because everything needs to serve me, because I’m Kanye.

I’m the. Do you understand? Absolutely. He did say that point. Yeah. And it’s not like he’s saying, you know, I want to change the system so that we can bring fairness to all artists and to make things better for all artists. No, he’s saying, me, me, me, me, me. I’m not getting my way, and I’m going to use you guys to fight them, to make them give in to what I want. I think that Kanye is not providing any information either. I mean, as far as value. He’s not telling, you know, his. His audience or his people, hey, this is what you need to look out for.

He’s ba. Basically going after, you know, people like Jay Z and everybody else in the industry putting their dirty laundry out there. And then he’s talking about how, like you said, they’re not working with him now. And he’s sort of jealous in a way. Realistically, he’s not giving anyone any type of information that is valuable to them, like, you know, the industry, you should look out for this going on or nothing. He’s just basically bad mouthing and saying that he’s just going to go on an outrage until he basically crashes out. Kanye has been talking about Lucian Grange.

If you know Lucian Grange, he’s the head of Universal Music Group, the biggest record label in the world. Now the problem is Kanye has a picture of himself in between Lucy and Granger and Lear Cohen, two big music executives, two people that he’s basically been, you know, exposing. Now he was happy when they were supporting him on the way up. You know, he had no issues with it because like I said, he was. He’s always been a puppet since the beginning. He was in the music industry at a high level. But my problem is like, for example, I wouldn’t say that he isn’t providing any information, but like he’s not really teaching anything.

And that’s true. It is true. The one thing that I say that I caught my attention was the fact that he mentioned that the record labels don’t want veteran artists to be popular as much as they want a new artist to be popular because obviously they make more money off the new artists. And that’s what Kanye was trying to say. They prioritize these upcoming artists and, you know, try to get them to that peak point where they’re making as much money as possible. And then as they start becoming veteran artists that they’re able to require more, you know, have more leverage, they then start distancing themselves from them or trying to like lower their value.

You understand? Yeah, that’s the issue with Playboi Carti. Exactly. But that’s what I’m trying to say in a way that’s completely true. Because the way these record labels are structured, if the artist is a new artist, they’re going to get a horrible deal. The deal is going to be favoring the record label, 80% of the record label, 20% to the artist, and they’re always going to be in debt because they’re going to be living off advances. They’re never going to really make money off their music. But when you get an artist like Kanye and Drake, who have already recouped in every way possible because they were ultra successful, the record labels lose the leverage of cash, because that’s really what these artists want.

Right. If you’re signing a deal, you need straight cash. But if the artist has already repaid the deal and then made an additional 10, 15 million and they don’t need cash no more, the record label doesn’t have that, oh, I’m a. I’m gonna give you another bonus. I’m gonna give you another advance for 15 million. And now you owe us 15 million, and we’re gonna keep collecting money from you. The newer artists definitely have to pay up. They always gonna have to give more money while these veteran artists have more leverage. Their deal could be 50, 50 or 60, 40.

The. Instead, like someone like Drake is possibly getting 30 to 40%, which is insane amount. But there you see, they give Drake $400 million. And that’s one thing he did. He brought up Drake as an example. What I think Kanye is trying to bring up with the Drake point is that Drake is being sacrificed by the labels. Like, I don’t know if you saw my video, but I explained how the whole beef was used by UMG to basically offer Drake a lower value deal because they were like, hey, you’re not as valuable right now. You’re being seen as a PDF file and all this stuff.

Right. But Drake is like, no, I’m not stupid. You guys set this up. Remember, Kendrick and Drake are both signed to umg. Yeah. For record sales and to boost them. And in the end, now. Now they’re trying to cut Drake’s short. Exactly. So how’s Kanye playing into this? Because Kanye’s aware. I think Kanye’s just trying to make the point that this is why the labels are doing what they’re doing to me. Now. Another thing, he did mention the Kim Kardashian situation, and academics confronted him about it, which I think it was. Honestly, it was nice to see academics question him on why did you have kids with her and then why did you stay with her? You know, like, he has to take some accountability for that.

If you thought that these people were traffickers like you claim, and they’re doing this to kids and that why would you then have so many kids with them? No, the relationship between Kim Kardashian and Kanye had a lot of controversy, and I think that that boosted Kanye up as far as, you know, fame, people getting to know him on that other side, like, hey, you know, this guy is building a family, has kids. You know, that image of Kanye, he was chasing that image so that his fan base, you know, can accept him more he could just be a different.

A different Kanye to. To. To the masses. You know, he tried to hold that together for all he could. I remember. I mean, my wife used to watch those shows, and he wouldn’t even want to be on the camera. He didn’t want to be on the show as much. He just wanted to have the kids with her and everything. But in the end, I think Kanye does a lot of things for. For clout, for show. I don’t think their relationship was real. I don’t think that Beyonce and Jay Z’s relationship is real either, in a sense.

I’m not saying that they don’t have kids with each other or have relationships with each other. That’s not my point. But they both seem like strategic industry moves. Do you understand at the moment, Kim was, like, the most popular woman in the world. Kanye was hot. He wanted the same look as Jay Z and Beyonce. Even though you can’t really compare Kim Kardashian to Beyonce, but that’s how people were even referring to it as like, this was his version of that. She’s the most popular in pop culture. You know, I’m Kanye, the hottest artist in the world.

We put us together now, we double our exposure, we get more traffic in. We have some kids, make it a whole little family. People buy into it. And I agree, because Kim Kardashian is all about that. Exactly my point. That’s how I saw it. Same thing with Jay Z and Beyonce. I think it was a money play, because even if you think about the ages and the fact that these people barely see each other. Right. When you’re a celebrity like Beyonce and Jay Z, you think that they’re sleeping together every night. You think they’re in the same house every day? No.

You know, they probably see each other once in a while. Yeah. These are industry relationships. Yeah, that’s true. They try to hold them together because, you know, I think as far as Jay Z and Beyonce, they’ve tried to hold it together because of how big of an empire they’ve amassed. Exactly. They’re the power couple. It’s the. The queen and the king of hip hop. And in reality, these are just people that all they care about is serving the people that give them the check. You understand what I’m saying? Yeah. And Kanye and Kim Kardashian were the king and queen of pop culture, 100%.

Now, the most important thing we need to talk about, and this is what this video is one of the main reasons as well, that I felt like this should be Done. We heard Kanye was basically running away to Japan. During the middle of the interview or during the end of the interview, he tells academics that he has to go, that he’s leaving to Japan. He even tells academics to come with him. Now, remember this interview took place right after he did all those tweets? Remember when he tweeted Free Diddy and the stuff about Jay Z’s kids? And then he said that he heard a knock on the door and that they were, like, basically threatening him? So did Kanye leave to Japan for his safety, or is it just another play? That’s what my question is.

And if it’s getting to that point, then I might have to start looking at the situation differently. I’m not going to say Kanye is on our side, but maybe he’s on no one’s side right now and he’s just made himself a target, you know? Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think that what he spoke about in the interview is a lot of the things that you mentioned, a lot of the actual factual statements that you’ve made on this channel. And I think that him going to Japan is really far away from any influence he may have here in the United States.

I don’t think Kanye is on our side. I still think Kanye is. Controlled opposition. His statements against Jay Z. I don’t think Jay Z appreciated that. You know, I don’t think Jay Z was happy to see that. And then also the whole outfit, the chain, the other tweets that he’s made, I think that he probably does think that they might come after him now. And like, he said this so many times before, but Kanye is someone that’s so big. He’s. He’s not someone you could miss. Wherever Kanye’s at, you’re going to know Kanye’s there. You understand my point? So, like, if they wanted him gone before, but he didn’t take it to this level, well, maybe Kanye has gone rogue.

Or like I was saying, like, maybe it’s MK Ultra. Maybe he’s going through some stuff, or maybe he’s having a breakdown. Maybe he’s not thinking clearly. Because, like I’ve said, Kanye himself has claimed that he’s a victim of MK Ultra. Not once, but twice. He’s done said this, what happened to me, and they took it too far. It was like American History X. Like, my head was on the side of the curve, and the exact people that I called out kicked my head. We found out that my trainer was a MK Ultra. We found out that my trainer was a MK Ultra.

MK Ultra Canadian. He worked in the defense research and development in the Canadian military. Actually working on psyops in the Canadian military. This is. Harley passed. Yeah. What I’m saying is, look, they tried to medicate me. They. I was exhausted. They wrongly diagnosed me, and they. They. When I asked them, how much lithium did you want to put me on? Exactly. Took them four days to answer because they were embarrassed about the amount. Right. And I refused to take this. Right. You understand that if I had taken the medication, I would not be here. And it would have been, whoa.

He was deeply troubled. We miss him. Love is music, though. Well, they would have Britney Spears. You. I mean, look, they would have Michael Jackson or worse. Yeah. So look at what they did. Look what they did to Britney. When she went in, she was tired, she was exhausted. She was in a bad way. But 10 years of that medication wrecked her brain. You can see it now. You can see there’s not much of her left. Now, in this interview, did he not. Did he not repeat again that his mom was taken from him? Yeah, absolutely.

He said this out of his own mouth. And didn’t his mom die in a surgery? His mom died mysteriously, yes. It was after surgery. She got surgery. She was supposed to be being watched by an uncle, and then she passed away because they didn’t watch her. But the problem is, even before Kanye said this, in the interview that he did, he had said a while. Like, this was like, 2017, 2016. An interviewer asked him, hey, what was your biggest sacrifice to get here? And he said, his mother. Yeah, you got to put it on there. I got to see that.

He literally said this all the way back then, and then he repeated it in the conversation in the car. And now he’s telling us that they took his mother. From what I know. I don’t think that they took his mother. I think that he offered his mother, but that’s just my opinion. According to him, they took it. I know. I’ve seen a lot of people say that. He’s not saying that he personally sacrificed her, but when. When they asked him what was his biggest sacrifice and he mentions his mother, that seems like him confessing, you know, and it’s something that he keeps bringing up.

Yeah. You know, it’s kind of like one of those deals that he probably made, and then it didn’t turn out to be what they promised it would be. So then that’s when he flipped it and say, they took her. They didn’t hold up to probably their end of the bargain. Or maybe he. It Wasn’t what he signed up for. And you know, like, like you said, Kanye is not being himself either. He’s just not being himself. This is not, you know, you’re. This is like the, the 10th level times 100. If you can say of what Kanye has been doing in the past, this is the next level, you know, to his, his iced out chain that he’s rocking right now with the, with the symbol and, and then his outfit, you know, his outfit that he wore on a public interview.

He knew, he knew that that was gonna go out and the, and the right people were gonna watch it. You know, dj, academics, a lot of people in the hip hop industry are gonna watch that. So that was his main reason for, you know, putting on the suit, setting up the living room, making sure that, you know, it’s played out correctly because it was played out. If you, if you look at the interview, Kanye played that whole thing out. Number one. The fact that he’s running around with academics, academics is always showing that he serves anything.

His relationship with Kanye right now isn’t because he likes Kanye, because he’s uncalled out Kanye for a lot of the stuff he said. But he’s using him right now the same way Kanye is using him. Kanye needs marketing. Academics needs, you know, that. Next, cosign, you know, the, the views. Views. Yes, but is the cosign from him being able to say, I got an interview from Kanye as an independent media personality. But my, my biggest thing, my biggest concern, and it’s what I have to identify. What is Kanye doing with all of this? Is he trying to go to war with the industry? Is he just trying to use his fans to sell more records and make money? Is he truly in fear for his life after what he said? Or is all of this just another play by the industry? Is the industry just making Kanye the villain that everybody wants, the villain that.

That’s going to face the industry and, you know, stick it to the man. For all we know, this could all be a play by the very industry that he claims he’s calling out. That’s what I believe. That’s. That’s where I’m teetering in. I mean, this is all a play. This is all something done. Because Masons, we have to remember the Freemasons, they do ceremonial rituals where someone plays the villain, someone plays the hero. Do you understand what I’m saying? Yeah, yeah, I saw that play you showed me. Exactly. So this is the same thing. That was just a play, that’s not a ritual.

But there’s little rituals that they have, like, if not mistaken, either the second or the third degree, they do a ritual where there’s two people that play the villain. And also in the Bohemian Grove. Remember when Ryan Garcia spoke about the Bohemian Grove? Yeah. In the Bohemian Grove, they have a play where one of the members played the giant evil owl, the inner stand. So they always have both roles. In my opin is either Kanye is making himself a target or Kanye is just playing the role that they want him to play. And I’m leaning on it being the role.

I don’t think that he’s really in danger, but there’s a possibility that I’m wrong. I want to know what you guys think, Beloved. You know, I want to know if you guys think that this is just Kanye doing what. What Kanye is being told to do or some sort of MKUltra being done on him, or is Kanye really going to war with the industry and if that’s the case, his life might be in danger, realistically. Yeah. And do you guys really think that Kanye went to Japan? I think he has. He’s been in Japan before. I was doing a little bit of research on that, and they said that he was living in Japan.

He came back at the beginning of the year. So has he posted anything since this interview? He just did a live stream again with academics. He was on there yesterday, the day before yesterday, and him and academics did this live stream and he was showing off some new songs from his new project. That’s. That’s the thing that everyone has to understand. So the fact that this is attached to a new project, it kind of defeats the purpose. I’m only going to believe Kanye when I see Kanye doing this, when it’s not about an album. Do you understand? Yeah.

I think for. For Kanye, it’s always going to be about something. It’s either going to be about a shirt, just like how he did with his super bowl commercial. It’s always going to be about something for Kanye’s game. He’s a marketing guy. Yeah, that’s a good point. But I want to know what you guys think below. Let me know in the comment section if you think this is a part of the role or Kanye is really speaking against the industry. And I want you to tell me why you think that. I’m going to be reading the comments from everything that I’ve seen from Kanye.

I think that he’s playing us. I think he’s playing all of us and using us for his advantage to be able to get what he wants. Whether it’s money from these more record sales or just to use us as leverage against the industry to get what he wants. But I don’t think that he’s truly on our side. I want to know what you guys think below. Remember that me and Tridel have a new show on the second channel called Believer vs. Unbeliever. The new episode is coming out soon. We just.
