During a recent podcast interview, rapper Ye questioned the cause of George Floyd’s death, suggesting it wasn’t caused by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murder after he knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly 10 minutes. NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos explains how the comments could land the rapper in legal trouble.

  1. May the TRUTH be what IT is… At the Yudgement Seat😃 (boycotting the fish hook mimicking letter j all by myself)

    Forgot to add…
    Everybody gotta die one day, and forget what is thought… U gon know that day!!! Time is right about up for the lies to prevail!!!😄

  2. Truth is truth Stop with your lies. THE MEDIA IS THE VIRUS AND NEEDS TO BE ERADICATED.

  3. If the family going after conye then Candace Owen's should be sued to for putting out a video lying about George Floyd lynching

  4. The police had his kneck while floyd swallowed all those drugs. An how much money has george floyd family giving back to the black community ill wait

  5. Im riding with kanye west. George floyd family are drug addicts drug test them

  6. YE needs to get on medication.

  7. After he settles with the Floyd family let's find out how that "Freedom of speech " thing worked out for him.

  8. Wasn’t false, your organization being labeled as “journalism” is false.

  9. if you don't think george floyd died from drugs then it's easy for you to disprove!! just do the george floyd challenge!!!!!!! all you got to do is take the same amounts of illegal drugs in his system as noted by the autopsy report and see what happens to you. should be easy to prove!!!!! come on people let's do the george floyd challenge!!! post your results!!

  10. How’s it false when George floyd died from a drug overdose.
    They won’t win this considering the autopsy says he had 3 times the lethal amount of fentanyl.

  11. GF's family represents everything wrong with black culture. Puttinf the Gibs in "Gib me dat". I hope they win, for no other reason than the personal calamity that will ensue from the vast amount of instant wealth without the ability to manage it. You think a knee on the neck was bad, wait until you see what happens to them after undeserved wealth.

  12. Really…a lawsuit over some comments😂😂😂that’s really sad

  13. Oh fk off with this b.s narrative

  14. What did he say that was false?

  15. His name is not Ye. It's Kanye West. Stop calling him Ye. 😤

  16. Easy defense: George Floyd wouldn’t have been in this situation if he didn’t do drugs his whole life.

  17. I'm in pain but 250 million dollars should fix it lol

  18. They have no case. This is a straight money grab. I would say they should be ashamed, but you have dignity to feel shame. The race hustle at its best.

  19. Ever notice when one Kanye persona gets in trouble, he wants to be called by another name. Kanye, Yeezey, Ye, to keep the attention going. Where is that church you had going in Florida, preaching the virtues of the Trumpublican party. Trump gave you a 2 million dollar PPP grant the same day his whole family and staff got theirs. But why would any of you need that kind of money? Like Trump Kanye is always a victim. Always someone else’s fault. What would make you content in your life? Must not be money, what do you expect of people after you talk hate about everyone. How much fun are you to be around? Are you grateful or thankful for anything? Only you can make you feel better. What you are doing now helps nobody in your orbit especially you. You got the means. What is stopping you?

  20. Technically Mr. Floyd committed suicide. He ate the dope he had hid in his mouth. Ask any dope dealer, Facts.
