The rapper radio show Tuesday to address what happened with West on the Revolt.TV show.
"I just want to be honest, I support freedom of speech," N.O.R.E said. "I support anybody not being censored. But I do not support anybody being hurt. I did not realize that the George Floyd statements [made by West] on my show were so hurtful."
During his appearance, West made antisemitic comments and suggested George Floyd was killed by a fentanyl overdose, despite a medical examiner's testimony that fentanyl was not the direct cause of Floyd's death, only a contributing factor when he died after being knelt on by a police officer.

"But I apologize to the George Floyd family, I apologize to anybody that was hurt by Kanye West's comments," he added.

"I was locked down, I'm a supporter of the George Floyd movement," he said. "I saw that video too. I seen that cop's knee on his neck. I seen [Floyd] calling for whoever. I'm embarrassed of myself."
N.O.R.E. said he spoke with West Tuesday and told him he would be addressing what happened. The episode has since been removed.
