Kanye West Storms D.C. Apple Store, Gives 'Keynote Speech' on Table, Says He's Leaving for Africa


by Tamar Auber | Oct 11th, 2018, 6:16 pm

Hours after Kanye West gave a 10-minute monologue in the Oval Office and had lunch with President Donald Trump, he apparently stormed an Apple Store in the Washington D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown, climbed on top of a table and gave yet another speech… before declaring he’s leaving for Africa.

Jack Jenkins, national reporter for Religion News Service was there when it happened. According to Jenkins’ account, West busted into a Washington DC Apple Store Thursday afternoon and asked to give a keynote speech before climbing on a table. It is not actually clear if his table climb was approved by Apple Store staff or if he just did it regardless.




Then, according to Jenkins, West announced he made a hat for Trump that says “Make America Great” sans the “again” — and that Trump wore it. He explained the “again” part hurts black people.




On his way out the door, Jenkins reported that West said that he’s going to Africa.

With all his resources, you’d think someone would help him.

I’ve been in a relationship with a bipolar person for decades. The condition can be managed successfully with meds.

...he may have a Dave Chapel moment and realize the whole corporate thing is a farce.

And he'd quickly see what colonialism did to that continent and maybe have a moment of clarity.

He could come away with it even being more racist against his own race and thinking that African people are where they are because of racist crap (and not because colonialism set back their collective society by decades).

Kanye has been so corrupted by money and fame that he's lost touch with reality and sold his fellow black Americans down the road.

very few support as is, even less now..

He does not represent black people, any less than Trump speaks for and represents all white people...

14. Kanye needs to be going to a psychiatric hospital, not Africa.

I'm not saying that as a dig against him. I heard his ranting and raving during his White House visit, and I look at the behavior presented above. He said he is bi-polar. That's pretty obvious, as it looks and sounds like he's in a manic phase right now. The man needs help. Badly.
