Following backlash from his May comments, the Life of Pablo artist also spoke out in a lengthy Twitter post to try and clear his name.

“we need to have open discussions and ideas on unsettled pain,” he wrote at the time. “to make myself clear. Of course I know that slaves did not get shackled and put on a boat by free will.

I will not allow my tongue to be cut.”

West continued: “they hung the most powerful in order to force fear into the others. they can no longer stop our voice. … if this was 148 years ago I would have been more like Harriet [Tubman] or Nat [Turner]. … we are programmed to always talk and fight race issues. We need to update our conversation. the reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we can’t be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years. We need free thought now. Even the statement was an example of free thought it was just an idea. Onc e again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas.”

That’s not stuff we put on social media,” she said. “I’m not going to start tweeting what my thoughts are, but we have those moments.”

Kardashian and West tied the knot in a gorgeous Florence, Italy, wedding in May 2014 and share three kids together — North, 5, Saint, 2, and 5-month-old Chicago.
