Kanye West has broken down in tears during the first rally of his presidential campaign.
West spoke at the Exquis Event Centre in North Charleston, South Carolina today. It was weird on many levels.
He did not bring a microphone, and instead repeatedly told the crowd to “be quiet” while he was talking.
The rapper grew emotional during a monologue on the issue of abortion, revealing that he and his wife Kim Kardashian considered not having their first child, North West.
“In the Bible it says thou shalt not kill,” he said.
“I remember that my girlfriend called me screaming and crying. And I’m just thinking - and at that time I was a rapper, I was out there, I had different girlfriends and everything. And I was like, I want to word this in a way that - hey I don’t give a f***.
“So my girlfriend called me and I just thought to myself, ‘Please don’t tell me I gave Kim Kardashian AIDS.”
Some people in the crowd laughed at the joke. Others groaned.
“Then she said, ‘I’m pregnant.’ I said, ‘Yes!’ Then I said, ‘No.’ I gotta tell you what was in my mind. She was crying,” West continued.
“She said she was pregnant, and for one month, and two months, and three months, we talked about her not having this child. She had the pills in her hand. When you take the pills, and if you take it, the baby’s gone.
“I was sitting up in Paris, and I had my leather pants on. I’m in the apartment where my wife was actually robbed, and I had my laptop up, and I got all my creative ideas - I got my shoes, I got my next album cover, I got all this - and the screen went black and white. And God said, ‘If you f*** with my vision, I’m going to f*** with yours.’
“And I called my wife and she said, ‘We’re gonna have this baby.’ I said, ‘We’re gonna have this child. I know people that are 50 years old that didn’t have children, that have never been able to experience the level of joy that I experienced having a child.
“So even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world, even when I didn’t want to. She stood up and she protected that child.
“You know who else protected a child? Who do you think might have protected a child? My mum saved my life. My dad wanted to abort me. My mum saved my life. There would have been no Kanye West, because my dad was too busy!”
At that point West started to cry, and it became difficult to discern much of what he was saying.
“I almost killed my daughter! I almost killed my daughter!” he shouted.
“We love you Kanye!” some members of the crowd shouted back.
That was followed by a string of mostly unintelligible sentences.
“They’re going to run this, they’re going to try to tell you that I’m crazy. The world’s crazy,” West said.
Eventually West reached his point, saying abortion should “always be legal”, but there “should be an option of maximum support”.
His idea, which he called a “maximum increase”, was to give every woman the option of taking a large payment from the federal government to help her raise her child.
He mentioned the policy a couple of times – the first time, the proposed payment was $50,000, and after that it became a million dollars.
“Everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars, or something like that,” he said.
West kept speaking about abortion for some time, offering his version of a counterargument to the pro-choice slogan “My body, my choice”.
“Women love ‘My body, my choice’,” said West.
“Let’s say, when the baby is conceived, at that point it has a soul. That’s a real, living thing.”
He then launched into a hypothetical scenario in which a couple were separated, and had a child together, who was living with the mother.
“She says, ‘My house, my choice. I’m gonna kill my child.’” he said.
That comment prompted gasps and groans from some in the audience.
“I did smoke a little bit last night,” West added a short time later.
More to come.
