Lionel Richie had this to say about Kanye West :
“Am I fan of the N-word? Not coming from the 1960s and 70s. Whereas the new world has embraced it,” Richie said when addressing Kanye’s usage of the N-word. “I don’t think it’s OK for a black man to use the N-word. I don’t like it – and I am a black man. I don’t think it should be said and become normal.”
Lionel Richie also commented on Kanye West and his effect on this generation by saying that he provides “shock value” and that his voice is speaking louder then his actual music.
“Kanye is giving us the generation shock value. How he carries on for the next 10 years we will see,” he said. “The music business is more attention driven, but you have to let it pass. Don’t even focus on it. Because what we have going on in the world is so over the top. I mean, who are we fighting?
Lionel Richie also made the point that “There is more hunger and famine in the world today than there was when we did ‘We Are The World.’”
Believe it or not Kanye West rehearsed a censored version of “All Day” before the show but opted of it an hour before to delete the changes.
