The “Famous” artist’s controversial sit-down with Morgan, 57, was announced earlier Wednesday. After the polarizing host asked West if he regretted the anti-Semitic remarks — the designer had called for a “death con 3” for Jews a week earlier — West replied, “Absolutely not.”

“When you insult the Jewish people and say you’re going to ‘death con 3’ on the Jewish people, that’s as racist as anything you say you’ve been through,” Morgan said, to which the Grammy winner replied, “Yeah, obviously, that’s why I said that. … I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to pour hose on myself. That’s a different type of freedom fighter.”

West, however, offered an apology. “I’ll say I’m sorry for the people I hurt by ‘faking death’ 0″, he stated. “I feel like I’ve caused hurt and confusion. And I’m sorry for the families of people who had nothing to do with the trauma I went through, and for using my platform where you say you hurt people. I was hurt.”

On Oct. 12, the “Bound 2” rapper received swift and extreme backlash after tweeting, “I’m a little sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death vs 3 [sic] ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
