3. When He Claimed AIDS Was A Government Conspiracy
The 2005 Live 8 concert was intended to raise awareness about AIDS and global poverty. The event was a huge hit and had a worldwide audience of 3 billion; however, during the Philadelphia tour, Kanye West used the event to spread his own make-believe conspiracy theories. While on stage he claimed that AIDS was a “man-made disease” that was “placed in Africa just like crack was placed into the black community to break up the Black Panthers.” He later reasserted his idiotic beliefs in the song Heard ‘Em Say, through the lyrics “And I know that the government administer AIDS So I guess we just pray like the minister say”.
