Ye compared himself to George Floyd in an apology to the Black community: 'I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now'
ashoaib@insider.com (Alia Shoaib) -

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, compared himself to George Floyd while apologizing to the Black community for his previous controversial comments.

While speaking to paparazzi on Friday, Ye apologized for falsely claiming that Floyd, who was killed after the former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin leaned a knee on his neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds, died of a fentanyl drug overdose.

"It hurt the Black people," he said. "So I want to apologize for hurting them because right now God has shown me by what Adidas is doing, and by what the media is doing, I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now."

Lawyers representing George Floyd's family previously said the family had been getting online hate after the rapper made comments about his death.
