Kanye West is raising eyebrows again.

West said Thursday he would have preferred to see Louis CK – who has been accused by several women of sexual abuse – as host the Sept. 29 episode of SNL on which he’s scheduled to be the musical guest. (Actor Adam Driver is hosting.)

The rapper also shared with Fader staff early versions of collaborations with 6ix9ine (who pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual misconduct with a child) and the late XXXtentacion (who was accused of kidnapping and abusing his girlfriend).

West, who wore a “Make America Great Again” cap and a Colin Kaepernick sweatshirt for his visit to Fader, reportedly said he wants to build a flying-car factory in Chicago and shared his thoughts on female anatomy.

The rap star also erroneously stated that there were only 800 slaves in the U.S. in the 1800s (Fader said the count is closer to 3.9 million). West said if he had been a slave, he would have “run, fought, or got killed.”
