The Washington Examiner had these details to add:
Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo confronted Kanye West over his controversial comments about Jews that have been widely condemned as antisemitic and gotten him deplatformed on multiple social media sites.
The rapper, who has legally changed his name to Ye, appeared on Cuomo’s NewsNation show to discuss his name change, move to purchase the Parler social media platform, and his recent controversy over comments about Jewish people. Cuomo challenged West’s statements, particularly taking issue with his comment about a “Jewish underground media mafia,” which the rapper repeated in his appearance.
“Look, there is no Jewish media, cabal, mafia. That is a figment of either your imagination or a projection of a prejudice. You may have had bad business dealings with people — it’s about those people. It’s not about their religion or faith. And I know that you’re intelligent and understand that when you target people because of their faith, other people may do so the same,” Cuomo said in response to a tangent from West in which he described his problems with the “media mafia.”
“So we don’t want to tolerate that, and you are playing into that right now whether you know that or not,” Cuomo added.

Chris Cuomo's interview with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, last night mostly devolved into the two men talking over each other and Ye going "la la la la la" to block the #Cuomo host out. https://t.co/yDkF2J2xZZ

The Wrap had these details to add:
Ye, the rapper and multi-hyphenate artist formerly known as Kanye West, sat with Chris Cuomo Monday night to address his recent anti-semitic social media messages that got him kicked off of Twitter and Instagram.
Earlier Monday, Ye’s social media journey continued with the announcement of his intentions to buy the right-wing Parler platform. Sitting with Cuomo that evening, instead of making a well-intentioned effort to clear his name, however, Ye doubled down on much of what he had to say, claiming that “the Jewish underground media mafia” were attacking him before those Tweets. He specifically cited when he wore his now-infamous “White Lives Matter” shirt to Paris Fashion Week earlier this month.
“When I wore the White Lives Matter T-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me,” Ye said, adding, “They just immediately disrespect me. They keep the crazy narrative going. They never call me a billionaire.”
