According to TMZ, in a recent interview, West addressed the backlash surrounding his post, which many deemed insensitive and ignorant.

However, when suggested that the post about Jay-Z's kids was one of West's worst, the rapper interrupted, asking if it was actually one of his "best or strongest" instead.
The post in question referred to Jay-Z's 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, and sparked widespread outrage online.

Despite the backlash, West seems unwilling to backtrack on his statements, even when they target former collaborators like Jay-Z.
