At this point, it’s well known that Kanye West has had his share of not-so-pleasant moments, even before he made anti-Semitic comments last month. One of his most infamous moments occurred when he appeared as a musical guest on "Saturday Night" Live back in 2018. After the show, the rapper went on a rant fueled by his support of then-U.S. President Donald Trump. While the moment didn’t actually make it to air, it was still documented by cast members and others who were in attendance. Comedian Chris Redd was on the show at that time, and he’s provided some insight into what it was like to be in the room when things went down.

Leaked clips from that "SNL" taping show Kanye West wearing a Make America Great Again cap and lecturing the studio audience. The entertainer was subsequently booed by the crowd with the episode’s host, Chris Rock, even expressing his disbelief in the background. Chris Redd could actually recall what happened in the lead-up to the highly controversial moment. Apparently, Redd believed that the “Jesus Walks” performer was preparing to pull some “bullshit” on stage.
