Kanye West Gives Thanksgiving Speech On Skid Row

Kanye West is dealing with a lot right now. His soon-to-be ex-wife is hooking up with Pete Davidson and his name is in the tabloids for all the wrong reasons. He did a little something to give back today as he went out of his comfort zone a bit.

You never know where Kanye West will show up next. After all, he lived in the Mercedes Benz Stadium on a $1 million a day rent. He recently showed up somewhere that fans wouldn’t think to find him, Skid Row.

The 44-year-old rapper paid a visit to Skid Row on Wednesday, one day before Thanksgiving. That trip also included Ye grabbing a microphone and cutting a little speech for everyone around.

“The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships. We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I’m here to change the narrative.”

“I’m not letting E! write the narrative of my family. I’m not letting Hulu write the narrative of my family … I am the priest of my home,” 

Kanye West could have been doing a lot of things on Thanksgiving Eve, but he spent it on Skid Row. You have to give him props for that, even though his speech was a bit self-fulfilling. Then again, what action from Ye isn’t filled to the brim with praise for himself?
