Kanye vs Noah

“All in together now… K–n baya my lord k–n baya K–n baya my lord K–n baya Oooo’ lord K–n baya,” West captioned a screenshot from a Google search result describing Noah as a South African comedian.

Kanye was mocking Noah by using the offensive "k–n" slur to replace the original lyrics in Kumbaya. His offensive posts toward Noah came in response to the comedian discussing his dynamic with Kardashian and Davidson on The Daily Show.

“What Kardashian is going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave,” Noah said on his Comedy Central series.

Noah compared Kanye's situation with Kardashian to his own experience witnessing abuse as a child. He mentioned people thought his mother, Patricia, was overreacting.

“As a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming?” Noah asked on the show.
