South African comedian and Daily Show host Trevor Noah has passionately pleaded for people not to cancel Kanye West.
This comes after reality television star Kim Kardashian, ex-wife of Kanye West, backed Noah. Kim said that Kanye, who now goes by Ye, owes Trevor an apology after he racially abused the talk show host on social media platform Instagram.
The Meta-owned photo-sharing social media platform banned Kanye West for 24 hours in response to the racial slurs. According to Meta, Kanye’s post on the South African comedian violated Instagram’s hate speech, harassment, and bullying policies.
In a separate post on Sunday, Trevor Noah wrote on Twitter,
“I said counsel Kanye, not cancel Kanye.”
Trevor’s plea to his followers comes hours after Kanye West’s ex-wife Kim expressed her support for the Daily Show host. Kim Kardashian declared that her ex-lover’s remarks were unacceptable and that Trevor deserves an apology for the abuse he suffered.

“Kim also believes that Kanye owes Trevor an apology because his remarks directed at Trevor were unacceptable. She found what Trevor said on her behalf to be so heartfelt and she thinks that he expressed her sentiments perfectly.”
“Kim only wants for Kanye to leave Pete Davidson alone and not go after him on Instagram. Whatever it is going to take for that to happen, Kim is fully supportive of it.”
Another source told the publication that Kim was relieved when Kanye was banned from Instagram for the day.
“Kim was so relieved when she heard that Kanye’s Instagram was shut down for 24 hours.”
“She finally felt like she could relax for a few minutes and not worry about what he’s going to post next. Kim thinks Kanye has gotten totally out of hand with the social media attacks and she hopes that his account being restricted will show him that it’s not okay to attack her and Pete the way he has been. She thinks it’s not a good look for their kids to see and Kim hopes he learns a lesson from this.”
