Trump-supporting Kanye West has been in hot water since tweeting he wants to “abolish” the 13th Amendment:
The 41-year old rapper, producer, and designer wore his MAGA hat and sat down with TMZ to say he “misspoke.”
“‘Abolish’ was the wrong language – I misspoke,” West told viewers. “‘Amend’ is the right language,” he added.
West read a statement written by a friend who “puts a lot of energy into understanding historical facts.” The statement claims that under the 13th Amendment, “all you have to do to make a freed man a slave is convict them of a crime.”
West implied he wanted to work on prison reform, saying some people in prison are forced into involuntary servitude, “working for companies” while imprisoned and “making eight cents a week.”
And he says “there should be a group of super-knowledgeable people that come from all cultures” that make amendments to the Constitution.
