NEW YORK, United States — Rapper Kanye West, on the receiving end of criticism in the music world after backing President Donald Trump, sparked fresh outrage Wednesday (Manila time) when he called slavery "a choice." That sounds like a choice," West told TMZ Live, the broadcast wing of the celebrity gossip site. I like the word 'prison' because slavery is too direct to the idea of blacks. Speaking to Charlamagne tha God, West said he was upset that Obama invited other rappers to the White House such as Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z. "You know, he never called me to apologize," West said, explaining that Obama had met him and his mother before being elected president.
