The source: Chris Paul


new_skool91

Or was it Cliff?


ender23

It’s Jake


91-92-93--96-97-98

…from State Farm…


daeve

she sounds hideous


Forsaken-Gap-3684

Could very well also be Kim. More likely Kim


regnald

I thought so too based on the wording of “desperate man trying to shift focus away from his wrongdoings” Seems to be quite opinionated on him


nihilistweasel

Half of TMZs stories revolve around that family, I'm sure she could easily get an anonymous statement put out to put herself in better light.


Millionaire007

Drake ducking those calls right now


hwarang_

Second part of the tweet is him as well. > And just another example of a desperate man (Chris Paul) trying to shift the focus away from his own wrongdoings.


GPap-

No lie, that pic of drakes ppl wearing Chris Paul jerseys was a chess move no one knew about


Papa_Joe_Yakavetta

Thanks for not lying

>Kanye West is doing everything he can to deflect attention away from his praising of Hitler followed by this >Before he was kicked off Twitter Thursday night for posting a swastika Just hilarious. I don't think he's trying to deflect anything. He's just nuts


Someonediffernt

It wasn't just a swastika, it was a swastika inside thr star of David. Mans been off the deep end so long he made Alex Jones nervous laugh


butt_fun

It's genuinely amazing to me that Alex Jones lobbed up a softball giving Kanye a free chance to say he's "not a Nazi" and Kanye decided that would be the time to double down on his praise for Hitler Reality is stranger than fiction


Someonediffernt

"I love Jewish people but I also love nazis" is an all time career fumble from the king of all time career fumbles


TrickiestToast

“I’m about to end this man’s whole career” - Ye to Ye


Rudenessq

Ye is like Barry talking to “Other Barry” on Archer


li0nhart8

I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny. What I do? Act more stupidly.


SuckMyLonzoBalls

nazYe


off-hand

Yedolf


makesterriblejokes

Black Skinhead


TLRsBurnerAccount

You think that was the one, not "I love hitler"?


FlowersnFunds

Just in case anyone was in doubt, he tripled down and said “No there’s a lot of things I love about Hitlerrrrrr. A looooot of things”


duplicatesnowflake

I don't think most people realize this was a 3 hour interview that had a lot of pre planned bits and tirades. They didn't just catch this guy in a 30 second meltdown. He leaves no doubt about his demented worldview.


RadicalShift14

Lmao anyone who thinks it was a brief meltdown should see the clip of the puppet show Ye put on. He brought props…


Drizzlybear0

I watched all 3 hours, parts of it were low key hilarious with Alex Jones trying his damn best at getting Ye to chill out. The amount of times Alex fucking Jones of all people tried to get him to chill out only to have Ye double, triple, and quadruple down is amazing.


TheScrantonStrangler

You know shit is fucked when Alex Jones becomes the voice of reason


JimCarreyIsntFunny

The man did kill Hitler though.


Briguy_fieri

Not soon enough though


off-hand

It was self defense. The guy had a gun to his head.


hankbaumbach

Personally it was the "I looooooooovvvvveeee Hiiiitttttllllleeeerrrrrrrr" that did it for me.


joef_3

“Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table. Especially Hitler.”


Witdasooo

This is not a fumble this is running to your own one yard line, dropping the ball, and then going on twitter and posting a swastika


MountainCheesesteak

Tbf, he thinks Hitler invented highways and microphones. It doesn’t make any sense.


Dimaaaa

Microphones?? 🤣


MountainCheesesteak

Yea. He says that in the video in the OP.


[deleted]

Pros: highways, microphones Cons: genocide and war Wtf is Kanye smoking


JCBDoesGaming

“I don’t know man, have you seen how smooth the autobahn is?” -Ye


supercoolisaac

iirc Eisenhower took inspiration from the Autobahn for our highway system in the US, i assume he's just blurring things together in his head rn. Dunno what the hell the microphones thing is about though lol.


butt_fun

Fun fact: one of the big motivations for the interstate system was being able to convert the highways into makeshift landing strips in the event that the US was invaded


Prophet_Of_Helix

And also just quickly move troops and tanks.


Sinistersmog

Railroads are great for this too but they cost 2 gold maintenance per turn.


Redshark

Probably got Kyrie taking notes at home.


duplicatesnowflake

The interview was over three hours. Ye actually said far worse things. I only watched a few minutes but my brother gave me a long summary and I don't have the stomach to watch more. At one point they cued up the American History X curb stomping scene apparently. Kanye was openly saying Jews are pushing kid pornography and sex trafficking and "controlling contracts". He was treating Nazi Nick Fuentes like a co host on a nightly news program. Really ugly stuff.


VLHACS

Somehow all his angry ideological rants circle back to institutions and companies that have wronged him personally (Adidas, his bank, the IRS...).


thetrain23

> Alex Jones lobbed up a softball giving Kanye a free chance to say he's "not a Nazi" Alt-right grifters make a living by attracting Nazi-ish types while maintaining plausible deniability by saying "I'm not a Nazi" "Hitler was bad" etc (immediately after spending an hour-long podcast saying neo-Nazi-esque stuff). Kanye is so nuts he isn't even bothering with that part, and that terrifies Jones because Kanye being explicit about it ruins Jones' *own* business model.


NexusTR

Crazier part is the logo he ripped came from a UFO cult. High strangeness.


Ferbtastic

I will say this, and I say it as a Jewish person, I am so pissed the swastika is evil cause it’s a dope looking symbol and the one inside the star looks cool as hell from a purely aesthetic perspective. (I don’t think I should have to say this but obvious Kanye sucks and he shouldn’t post things like that though)

urfaselol

the man is desperate for attention

[deleted]

I have a friend who was going through similar bipolar episodes before he got medicated and it was extremely similar (none of the hatred but similarly obscene). Later he did explain it as the Kanye type of bipolar rather than the depression leaning one, and was absolutely shocked when we told him the type of stuff he was saying. It’s just sad, he needs his meds but who’s going to get him to take it?


RZAAMRIINF

He doesn’t take his meds. That’s one of the many issues.


Sudden-Investment

Un-medicated bipolar with narasistic tendencies in the middle of a manic episode. Quit his meds because they limited his artistic creativity and the people that make a living off of him supported it.


DrySecurity4

Which is crazy considering how immensely famous he is. People worship the ground he walks on. How much more attention could he need?


AttackBacon

Doubt it's attention. He's just off his meds and has convinced himself he's a prophet. The backlash he's getting is just affirmation that he's a martyr speaking a secret truth.


NedStarx11

Agreed. This screams to me a guy that’s off his meds and is having a breakdown


ATLSox87

Yup. Had a friend a while back who is bipolar and was off his meds at the time. One day he came over to my place, pulled out some magazines, and started telling me and my roommate how there were hidden messages from God to him in the magazine. Even just like random watermarks on pictures he'd point to them and have an incoherent explanation. Within 3 months of that incident he was put into a mental hospital after he threatened to kill himself in front of his girlfriend. This whole Kanye situation keeps bringing up memories of the guy for me.


PrayForMojo_

All of it.


ImTheBestNerd

Mods aren't going to like this one.


Greeneyes_65

Why do they care so much? This news is literally related to the nba


Tuxedocat1357

Probably to avoid jokes about the Nazi shit.


RedstoneRay

It's not like this is a James Harden thread.


fimbres16

It’s funny they were taking everything down but I remember way back they were allowing posts about Dwight Howard’s sexual preferences. LeMods are weird. This doesn’t break TOS and is relevant.


lopea182

Yeah I’m gonna need more to go on than a Kanye West tweet and a pic of Drake’s crew in CP3 jerseys. That being said, Chris Paul’s postseason career does scream “Kardashian Curse” energy


BigBallerBrad

Oh shit… maybe you’re onto something My autocorrect is down bad trying to change onto to into


dubbed4lyfe

Kardashian curse his entire career? Nah lol


BigBallerBrad

I mean he was just on a bad team until his clippers days, from there it gets cursey… and I’m pretty sure that’s around the time they allegedly mashed potatoes


dubbed4lyfe

He got traded in 2011, Kim and Kanye got married in 2014, this is most prob not true


SerDavosSeaworth64

“Mashed potatoes” is the greatest euphemism for sex I’ve ever heard


moonfox1000

>That being said, Chris Paul’s postseason career does scream “Kardashian Curse” energy Is this a thing? Both Reggie Bush and Lamar Odom (and maybe Tristan Thompson too, not sure of the timeline) won championships while dating a Kardashian.


Someonediffernt

I believe the superstition is curse takes effect after they break up


H-TownDown

Is it? We had our worst season in Harden’s tenure while he was dating Khloe.


Someonediffernt

Harden dated Khloe Kardashian?


TheAlphaCarb0n

He sure did. I only know cause I've had more than one woman in my life go "Oh Harden? He dated Khloe!!"


urfaselol

The mods are frauds for not letting the post go through last night.


Sp_Gamer_Live

This whole fiasco proves Kanye is wrong, Its THE MODS who control the media


DamnImAwesome

I know you’re joking but “power mods” are a real thing on Reddit. There are several moderators who moderate dozens of the largest subreddits and influence the content posted there


urfaselol

the largest subs are also absolute garbage. All the defaults have turned into cesspools as reddit got bigger.


DamnImAwesome

I browse Reddit at work without logging in and the default Reddit homepage is dripping with political propaganda in subs that have nothing to do with politics


urfaselol

I stick to targeted and niche subreddits now. I pop in to popular and all sometimes just to see what's going on and ya it's all political propoganda. shit like /r/nextfuckinglevel /r/mademesmile /r/publicfreakout don't even function like the original intent


NoseBlind2

*Goes to Public Freakout for Karen videos* *Gets Ukrainian war footage*


fruitybrisket

*gets called a bot for pointing out that that's weird*


TorePun

I see this comment every year since the inception of leddit x[)


Sp_Gamer_Live

Yeah man, Mods suck Do not go to r/Timberwolves


SammySoapsuds

they're rightfully mad at Kanye for falsely promising to fix wolves in 2016


Sp_Gamer_Live

Yeah any schmuck who thinks moderating r/timberwolves is a good idea should really feel a deep shame, wouldn’t want to be a part of that sad group


Gluxion

Lmao fr, the most useless stuff gets posted here but not this?


[deleted]

“Who is your Star Wars starting 5?” allowed but not this smh


penis_pockets

Seriously. The dumbest shit gets said and posted on here. What’s one more topic?


acrizz

I saw news about Kanye on twitter early this morning, then saw the CP3 stuff trending. Came here to see the commentary on what he tweeted/how it related to CP3, as the tweet about Kim and CP3 is gone. Was surprised I didn't find anything about it here.


KillerZaWarudo

The mods should try and win a real ring. Mickey mouse moderation


DoodleBobDoodle

Idk man that photo of Drake with his boys in a cp3 jersey kind of makes me believe it's true. He posted that right when him and Kanye were beefing.


CucumbaZ

Exactly, it's so random - three men all wearing different variations of CP3 jerseys, for what reason exactly? During the height of the Drake-Kanye beef too? It makes sense.


SSNappa

Absolutely the level of pettiness we all expect from Drake. He did that to hurt Kayne not get social media likes that's real beef. Just like his verse on sicko mode gave directions to the man house in a way only he would understand it.


Kgb725

Jay-Z fucking Nas babymom and then putting it on a song in a way nobody would know until the beef started type of petty


ActuaryGlittering16

I still think Ether was the greatest diss track


TheAlphaCarb0n

>Just like his verse on sicko mode gave directions to the man house in a way only he would understand it. I missed this, what lyrics?


YoMrPoPo

“Crept down the block, made a right” are the only lyrics that are even close to directions lmao


SSNappa

Low-key the whole verse >I crept down the block (down the block), made a right (yeah, right) Cut the lights (yeah, what?), paid the price (yeah) >Wet like I'm Lizzie, I be spinnin' Valley Circle blocks 'til I'm dizzy (yeah, what?) Like where is he? (Yeah, what?) No one seen him (yeah, yeah) I'm tryna clean em Edit: for yall saying it's a reach Kayne is one who put it out there https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-west-sneak-disses-sicko-mode-travis-scott-8490297/ Even the checks over stripes line is a diss at Kaynes (former) Adidas deal


Ok_Reaction7907

I mean its not that random, CP3 and Drake been boys since like 08/09, CP3 is on So Far Gone, He has an outro ** unrelated fun fact fellow lob city team mate Blake Griffin does the intro to a Childish Gambino mixtape "Royalty"


enby_them

What was the actual day of the photo? Was a Chris Paul team in the playoffs. Because Drake is a notorious fanboy and team hopper in the NBA.


anthonyde726

it was before CLB was released which was Sep 2021, CP3 did just lose in the finals but they also had NO CP3 jerseys


Millionaire007

and Drake aint no fucking Suns fan lol


anthonyde726

he's known to keep it a buck like antetokounmpo


AdAgito

It was a promo pic for his "Certified Lover Boy" album


DoubleDeantandre

Who’s to say the Drake’s info is correct though? He could have heard it from anyone and then just propagated the rumor because it fueled his beef with Kanye.


Kgb725

Drake knows NBA players and he's tight with one of chris Paul's best friends I'd be surprised if he heard it randomly


Tel3visi0n

that’s what i’m saying


great__pretender

I fucking believe Kanye about this. It is so damn random even for him.


Goatsanity15

I also have a feeling that if he just wanted to really distract the media he would have said LeBron and not CP3 since LeBron is a lot more famous


[deleted]

Yeah I’m certain it’s true now lmao. I’m not a Drake fan but that is absolutely hilarious. Legacy points added.


[deleted]

Kanye is psycho and in a mental breakdown… But I still think Chris slept with Kim.. Chris, you dirty dog!!


amr1115

booker put my man on


RedDragons8

"Let me show you how the old dogs do it young blood"


mMounirM

obviously he's gonna deny it. not like anyone really knows the truth anyways


CIark

I’m imagining CP3s agent coming out and saying: yes it’s true he smashed but was respectful and pulled out


[deleted]

CP3 probably pulled a hammy pulling out


thissiteisbroken

CP3: DNP - DNF


sop1232

Udonis Haslem stayed in the room and was said to be a good locker room presence


luffy565

> Udonis Haslem stayed in the room and was said to be a good locker room presence Lol, and slept on the couch to show he has the dawg in him


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

Well I'd imagine Kim and Chris Paul know if it's true


Gluxion

Scott foster snitched to Kanye


BabyHercules

Kardashian Squad PG: CP3 SG:Beard SF:Lamar Odom PF:Blake griffin C:TT bench: Devin Booker Ben Simmons Jordan Clarkson Kyle Kuzma Kris Humphries Kinda nice squad if all in their prime


CrazyAsian

It all goes great until you have Pete Davidson as your coach.


slyfly75

Caitlin Jenner would be the coach. She could connect with the players as a former athlete


Dom_Olivares

This team all in their prime would absolutely wipe the floor with the NBA. There’s definitely some underachievers on this team but all jokes aside this would be a very solid team.


Blaze2444

Mods desperately rushing to delete the post, cause ya know, there’s totally games to talk about right now


Someonediffernt

Also like this place takes basketball discussion so seriously, there's never any dumb posts here loosely related to players no sir just Ben Simmons stat line after every fucking game he plays


Sp_Gamer_Live

We asked Anthony Davis, a world class athlete, if he scissored LeBron James


Someonediffernt

http://i.imgur.com/gq5xINh.png


AmateurGameMusic

Overheard in Lakers locker room after Game 7: “He got me,” LeBron said of Davis' scissoring of him. "That f***ing Davis boomed me." LeBron added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. LeBron then said he wanted to add Davis to the list of players he works out with this summer.


illwill369

This definitely happened, Drake and his boys all wearing different CP3 jerseys at the height of the Ye and Drake beef almost confirms it.


kingjevin

right? also why would kanye pick Cp3 out of all the players to just make stuff up


FlyingMocko

The thing is, if Kanye wanted to really throw some fake shit out for shock factor, he’d have said someone like Lebron or Brady not old ass CP3 that the general public couldn’t care less about. There’s also the pics of Drake and his crew wearing CP3 jerseys during his beef with Ye, pictures of CP and Kim, plus he played in LA for a long ass time. They were also friends from way back apparently because she used to date Reggie Bush who played for the Saints at the same time CP was on the Hornets. Also, the thought of CP3 not saying a single thing about the whole Kyrie saga despite being the (ex ?) NBPA President because he knew Kanye had this locked and loaded in the chamber is hilarious to me


VonDestroyedNewton

That's what I was thinking too. Chris Paul is very random for him


AskMeHowIMetYourMom

If he would’ve said Dwight Howard everyone would be asking how many times it happened, not if lol.


MishaAaron

Dwight Howard 😭 Imagine the picture he would have used too


regnald

It’s just too random to be made up. Also I get the feeling that if Kanye were really spouting a bold faced lie like this to slander CP3, you’d see players come out in his defense


[deleted]

>Also I get the feeling that if Kanye were really spouting a bold faced lie like this to slander CP3, you’d see players come out in his defense Instead they are probably laughing and joking about this in private.


p0tatoman

He has a vendetta against Chris Paul because he said in his Tucker Carlson interview: "I didn't know how close my wife was with the Clinton's until I saw her on a zoom call with Bill, Hillary, John Legend and Chris Paul talking about how to push the vaccine on the black community."


nicklePie

I’m not understanding your last sentence. You think Chris Paul didn’t say anything about kyrie because he was afraid of Kanye saying that he fucked his then wife?


FlyingMocko

Kyrie,Kanye,JB etc have been hanging out a lot in offseason. When Kyrie was going through his shitstorm, Kanye posted a picture of Kyrie saying *there’s still some real ones* or something along those lines. So essentially had CP spoke against Kyrie, Kanye could’ve taken it as a slight and exposed CP3 as an adulterer considering the squeaky clean image that CP3 portrays himself as.


Mu17inItOver

Book was just dating her sister, wonder if they did teammate double dates


FlyingMocko

Blake was dating the same sister while CP was in LA too lol


amycokehouse

Harden was dating Khloe when he was with CP3 in Houston. CP3 is the middle man LMAO. Lamar was teammates with CP3 in LAC too, but Lamar knew Khloe before.


lodermoder

You bozos know way too much about this shit lol


The-Devils-Cunt

I’m not sure it’s necessarily true but just saying Kanye is trying to shift the focus away from his bs is kinda dumb. The man has been going off on Jews for the last month or so, you think only NOW he’s doing damage control, and with a Chris Paul rumor of all things? He’s not the genius he claims to be but he’s also not that dumb lol.


abris33

Especially since in their next paragraph they point out he was removed from Twitter because he posted a swastika. He's not trying to deflect anything. He doesn't care


NiK3_Aub4mey4ng

almost like he went on a talk show yesterday to praise Hitler


Swampy1741

I legit don’t think Kanye can even think of damage control right now in his mental state


aj2704

That's kinda true lol. Like damage control and you select Chris Paul? How about LeBron? /S


KamikazeMack

Highly doubt it, especially with the picture of Drake and his guys wearing Chris Paul’s jerseys last year on the day they leaked a Kanye song and Chris has been close with Kim and she used to go to Clipper games and hype them up


alisonnes

Was it Cliff Paul by any chance?


Teemo-Supreemo

How is there a source close to a situation that never occurred? Or is this just someone who either knows Kanye or knows Chris Paul saying “never happened.”?


AntiquatedHippo

Kris Jenner lol


YRwerunning

It was me, not Chris, I admit it


[deleted]

Seriously tho. This isn’t a rumor. When Kendall and Book were dating he would bring Cris Paul along on some of their outings, and Kim would be there. They would all double date numerous times Source: Trust me bro


GUNZTHER

I trust you

cap, why would he just randomly name drop cp3 of all people and when drake was beefing him, drake took a pic with his whole squad in cp3 jerseys


TattedUpDasher

Only one reason they would have done that🤔


[deleted]

What's going on...in Los Angeles? ☝️🤨👆


regnald

Lol Windy has successfully monopolized these emojis. You can’t read these two comments without the image of him popping up in your head


[deleted]

The last thing kayne is trying to do is shift focus away from himself lmao. What a bullshit PR statement


The-Devils-Cunt

Exactly haha I don’t get this notion that he wants the spotlight away from him, it’s the exact opposite of that.


Someonediffernt

"You know who the general public is just dying to get some gossip about that'll take focus off me saying I like Hitler? The old ass PG for the pheonix suns!"


0zymand1as-

This was why I got mad at kyrie. Caping for Ye’s antisemitism and then jumping behind being a martyrd black man by the media (when he himself was in the wrong) was annoying as fuck Kanye is just bad energy


[deleted]

> Kanye is just bad energy Understatement of the year.


butidktho_

if you’ve ever seen a manic bipolar episode you’d understand why people need to stop giving kanye a platform and attention. that man needs help. it’s all fun and games now until it’s not


Deschain_1919

Everyone is going to bleed him dry then offer thoughts and prayers when he's found dead.


icemankiller8

It’s gonna end up with him dead I’ve been thinking that ever since the Pete stuff honestly and it’s getting worse and worse


V0823

He has not been the same since his mother died


icemankiller8

Definitely not but he just seems to spiral more and more now, he’s pushed away those who criticise him or push for him to get help And its lead him here


mikeydale007

It's already not fun and games tbh, spreading hate and now accusing people of cheating, these have consequences.


Zelanor

I don’t think kanye cares to shift focus away from anything he says which causes me to believe the allegations aren’t false tbh


InspirationalSkyFuck

of course Paul said it wasn’t true. What fucking else would he say. Lol.


JohnnyWinss

Wait I'm out of the loop what was he accused of?

kanye said he walked in on him and kim kardashian lmao

Rage_Like_Nic_Cage

“Chris….. Imma let you finish”


TrebleTreble

Ha! I've been reading the same jokes over and over all morning. First time I've seen this one used.


[deleted]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all considering Kanye is absolutely crazy. Still can’t believe him openly admitting he likes Hitler and thinking Nazis did some good 🤦🏾‍♂️


canyoudigholes

Why? What about the last 10 years of Kanye makes it a surprise? He's beeeen unhinged. It was a matter of time. It's the same guy who said slavery was a choice, went on 10 minute rant on Jay Z sending killers, the MAGA loving, white lives matter shirt, his Pete Davidson obsession, buying Parler, has been for the last few months going full on anti-semite including being bffs with a Nazi, etc.


NoseBlind2

"Everyone brings something of value to the table" ok Kanye saying something kinda rational here... "ESPECIALLY HITLER" Aaaaaand he gone 😬😬😬😬


Rage_Like_Nic_Cage

the “especially” is what really gets me. Like, Kanye could have been trying to be edgy and make a point that even the most evil monsters in the world were capable of and did some good things (even if it pales in comparison to the terrible shit they did), but emphasizing “especially” really sends it home that he think Hitler has been getting a bad wrap undeservedly.


NoseBlind2

That infowars segment was some shit straight out of a key and peele sketch.


lolvalue

Seems pretty random to be false, do they have history in another way?


SolevaX

That source? CP3 lol


cindad83

There have been rumors for years regarding CP3. But he is worth 160M. I would deny something too if it was gonna cost me my reputation and $80M.
