Ye is under fire.

Kanye West has attempted to clarify his comments after suggesting that the 13th Amendment in the US constitution, banning slavery, needs to be changed.

The controversial rapper, who previously claimed 400 years of slavery sounded like “a choice”, has further outraged fans by claiming the 13th Amendment is “slavery in disguise.”
