Kanye West defends Bill Cosby and faces insane
Internet backlash
If you’ve ever seen Kanye West
on any public appearance, you know the man is not afraid to voice his opinions,
and his attitude is no different when he’s tweeting. Last week, it was a
17-tweet rant about Wiz Khalifa, and this week he is proclaiming Bill Cosby’s
innocence.
To be
fair, there are a plenty of celebrities on Twitter who are determined to
confuse everyone. On the light-hearted, hilarious side of the spectrum, you
have Cher who regularly tweets random emojis that may or may not make sense.
But Kanye is on the complete opposite end where he continues to enrage almost
everyone on Twitter.
The
most confusing part of the rapper’s tweet wasn’t that he thinks the comedian is
innocent, but that he felt the need to tweet about it without any context. He
simply put “BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!” and then moved on to his next
topic, LeBron James’ Nike shoes.
Something
as controversial as Bill Cosby wasn’t going to go uncontested on the Internet
and almost immediately the tweets started pouring in from fans and celebrities
alike.
Comedian
Sarah Silverman started by tweeting, “Kanye!! You can't be for real. FIFTY
WOMEN. With nothing to gain thanks to a statute of limitations ON RAPE. Oy.”
And
from there the responses just got more hilarious. Comedian Billy Eichner
wondered, “Are we sure Kanye isn’t just a character from Zoolander?”
And Scandal star Josh Malina took a stab at
Kanye’s tweeting style when he tweeted, “KANYE WEST DELUDED !!!!!!!!!!”
Last
week a Montgomery County judge rejected Cosby’s request to drop the dozens of
sexual assault charges filed against him, but his legal team has announced they
plan to appeal the decision, which will drag court proceedings out longer.
Whether or not that prompted Kanye to tweet about Cosby, we don’t know, but
what we do know, thanks to Twitter, is where he stands on the issue.
Stay
tuned for Kanye’s next big revelation. Or just follow him for your own
enjoyment.
