Kanye West Regrets Not Defending A$AP Bari And XXXTentacion

by Daryl Nelson

Kanye West said he regrets not sticking up for A$AP Bari and XXXTentacion.

Bari challenged me when no one else did and when he got in trouble I was scared to say he was my friend just like I did with xxx and that was some pussy shit on my part. I let the perception and the robots control me. That’s the true sunken place.

Last year, Bari was in hot water when he was seen on video pulling the covers off a naked woman while she was in bed with his assistant. Bari also told the woman that since she slept with his employee she would have to give him oral sex. 

The Harlem native was eventually brought up on charges, but they were dismissed in August because the woman stopped working with police.

Ye mentioning XXX has to do with the late rapper being hit with multiple charges last year, including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness tampering. 

It's safe to assume that Kanye tweeting about Bari and XXX has to do with his new LP Yandhi coming out on September 29, because he usually sends controversial tweets around album dropping time. It's something Nick Cannon called "pageantry" when he stopped by Real 92.3 recently.

Do you think Ye should've stuck up for Bari and XXX?
