More footage from the Kanye West documentary has been shared online, this time showing the aftermath of Ye’s 2018 Saturday Night Live performance.
In the clip, comedian Michael Che is seen confronting the rapper after his outburst on stage.
“You can’t be controlled by monolithic thoughts,” Ye says. “You can’t always have, every time you have a Black subject matter, like [Bill] Cosby, that you have to have a Black comedian talking about him.”
“You good with me? For real?” Che can be heard asking Ye, reminding him, “I’m the Black comedian, I made a joke about Cosby.”
“Aw, man, I love you, though, bro,” Ye replied.
“Why would you do that to me? I work here,” Che pressed on.
Ye then attempted to clarify, saying he had been referring to former SNL star Leslie Jones but Che wasn’t having it.

“I work here. Like, come on, man. We treat everyone that come in like family, and you gonna sell us out? That’s messed up, man. We look up to you, we love you. What you got against us?”
Ye admitted he did have “some things against SNL.”
“That’s cool,” Che responded, “but airing it out like that without letting us reply is kind of foul. You wait until the last song and then say that?”
At that point, rapper Consequence, watching nearby, stepped in to calm the situation.
Che is heard saying, “Yo, you’re a hero to us, man! We love you. Seriously, we love you. But it’s foul to do that,” before the clip ended.
