Jamie Foxx Says TMZ Is to Blame for Kanye’s “Slavery Was a Choice” Comments: “They Put That Boy On Display Man, Don’t Believe That Sh*t”

Not many people are coming to Kanye’s aid at the moment after his controversial “slavery was a choice” comments. But all hope isn’t lost for West, as his longtime friend #JamieFoxx says TMZ is at fault.

Foxx was seen at a bar in West Hollywood, while there he shared his thoughts on West’s careless words. He, however, doesn’t blame Kanye, he claims #TMZ set him up, in a video which was of course caught by TMZ. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

“TMZ knows they shouldn’t be doing that sh*t man,” says Foxx. “To a good friend of ours. They put that boy on display man, don’t believe that sh*t.”

Fox went on to say that he feels Kanye is going through a tough time, and if West ever needs someone to talk to he’s there.

“My man going through something, man,” the Oscar winner continues. “I ain’t going to be like everybody jumping on the bandwagon saying I hate my dude. I’m not gonna do that sh*t. I know my man needs some help and if you need me call me.” He ends the video saying, “Stop making stupid people famous.”
