By Alexandra Heilbron on February 11, 2016 | 22 Comments


Kanye West Kanye West tweeted on Tuesday night that Bill Cosby is innocent. Not surprisingly, his tweet immediately earned him a flurry of backlash.

Comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted back: “Kanye!! You can’t be for real. FIFTY WOMEN. With nothing to gain thanks to a statute of limitations ON RAPE. Oy.”

Humorist and YouTube personality Tyler Oakley wrote: “undermining the experience of the women involved in this situation is not the appropriate way to get album promo”

    Of course he does. Maybe Taylor Swift did it.

    When you said you were running for pres in 2020, thought that was ridiculous…now you just outdone yourself!

    Kanye has demonstrated just how totally impaired his judgement is. Kiss your career goodbye idiot

    what do we expect coming from someone who calls his kids North and Saint West

    he probably thinks O.J. is innocent too!!!

  7. Len • February 11, 2016 @ 10:58 AM

    He is entitled to his opinion and Cosby still has not been convicted of anything.. so until he is.. he is innocent.

    Either he’s an idiot, or a victim of leaving his phone unlocked and where anyone can have their way with it.

    Perhaps both, I honestly can’t say.

    Why do people still listen to this fool. If the media will ignore him he will go away.

    Cosby case aside, has Kanye EVER had more than one brain cell? Has he EVER said anything that made sense, exhibited any serious thought processes, or wasn’t arrogant and idiotic?

    Remind me why he’s an ongoing voice? His talent is limited and, apparently, his perceptions are, as well.

    If you bothered at all to take an hour to research serious interviews of Kanye on Youtube, you wouldn’t write such impaired social media inspired herd thoughts so rashly.

    Lulz plebs.

    You are a fool Kanye…FOOL

  13. Lenny • February 11, 2016 @ 12:57 PM

    That settles it then. I must be true if Sh!t Head says it is.

  14. Lana • February 11, 2016 @ 1:03 PM

    Agreed with most of you that he is a fool. Should have kept his opinion to himself, not expressing to public and got more and more people dislike him. It’s a sensitive subject.

  15. bianca • February 11, 2016 @ 2:10 PM

    “Just when you think he can’t be any Dumber. He goes and says something like this and totally redeems himself.” NOT! What an idiot

  16. Swallow1 • February 11, 2016 @ 2:20 PM

    Kanye – maybe you’re just not his type. Just to test your hypothesis, ask your Kardashian Posse to invite Cosby for dinner….

  17. Rk • February 11, 2016 @ 3:40 PM

    Well if Kanye said it its got to be true. Drop all charges and free the man. Kanye you are now in first place for biggest douche in the universe.

  18. pegster • February 11, 2016 @ 3:40 PM

    God has spoken

  19. Tess • February 11, 2016 @ 5:05 PM

    This isn’t even about Bill Cosby…it’s just another attention-seeking gambit from a narcissistic drama llama who is nothing more than a black Kardashian. Kanye’s head has been up his own ass for so long, he is completely brain-dead from oxygen deprivation.

  20. Snepts • February 11, 2016 @ 5:08 PM

    I’m sure everyone’s wondering what Kim’s thoughts are…

    Since when were men experts on women. Bery little men are accurate or really sensitive on womens issues. Then come dumb uneducated rap crap men who wrap themselves in their marginal culture.
