Read our privacy policy Trevor Noah has revealed his reasons for speaking out against Kanye West and his behaviour during Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s relationship. On an episode of The Daily Show in March, Noah said the situation between the rapper, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson was “terrifying to watch.” In response, West – now legally known as Ye – called Noah a racial slur on Instagram, and was temporarily suspended from the platform. “I’ve just become more comfortable speaking my mind in situations where I feel like the mob forgets that we’re dealing with human beings,” he told Variety in a recent interview. His music has literally taken me through different periods of my journey, But then there are also moments where I go, like, ‘man, Kanye, you, you’re going off the rails here.’ “But I can still say that, ‘I care for you as a human being, that’s, that’s why I’m speaking out.”
