Eve is ‘done’ with Kanye West, after his controversial comments which suggested ‘slavery was a choice’. On a recent episode of The Talk, she shared how upset she was over Kanye's recent comments.
“Every time I watch these clips, I get emotional… it is so disrespectful,” she said on the talk show. “I can’t understand how a black man that was born on the south side of Chicago can have these ideas. I can’t understand… his mother, may she rest in peace, was an African-American Studies professor. I cannot understand this.”
“You want to be a free-thinker, you want to be thought-provoking, you cannot have these ideas without facts to back them up. Slavery is a fact. Slavery is part of our history… we cannot forget it… we are still feeling the effects of slavery within our community, within our culture. It hurts me,” she said
Eve added: “At the end of the day, we all got lucky and got plucked out of our hoods and live these amazing lives, but you cannot be so far in your bubble to think you are not a part of what this history is.”."It hurts my feelings. It hurt my actual feelings and it gives me chills as I'm talking about it because I'm like, this is a man that I actually used to listen to," she explained before urging people to listen to other artists instead. "Any young brothers lookin' at me, listening to me today: pick up some Nas, pick up some Damian Marley, pick up some J. Cole, pick up some Kendrick Lamar," she said. "Listen to these artists. I am done with Kanye."
