Kanye West says Beyoncé should “let Jay-Z cheat” in newly-released interview clip

The same interview saw the rapper defend his antisemitic tweets, saying he was under the influence of alcohol when he wrote them

Kanye West has said that Beyoncé should allow Jay-Z to cheat on her in a newly shared interview, originally recorded in 2022.

While speaking to controversial right-wing pundit Candace Owens, West, now known as Ye, said that “Beyoncé needs to let [Jay-Z] go get some pussy,” while discussing his former friend and collaborator. West was interviewed by Owens for her podcast Candace in 2022 however, the episode was only shared yesterday (August 7).

The remark surprised Owens, who burst into laughter before asking “What?”.

West then added:”‘Go to the DR [Dominican Republic] or something like that, you know what I mean?”

The comment follows Jay-Z’s highly-publicised cheating scandal, which first came to light in 2016 with Beyoncé’s album ‘Lemonade’ — a record that followed a storyline of infidelity. Jay-Z later confirmed his unfaithfulness on his ‘4:44’ record in 2017.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé seemed to address the cheating on her latest album ‘Cowboy Carter‘ which included a re-written cover of Parton’s iconic hit ‘Jolene’.
