Ulysses Blakely, a family friend of Kanye who dated Donda West, spoke to PageSix about the rapper's recent antics. “My personal feeling — just from the person I know — is that this is unresolved grief,” Blakely said. "He has not recovered from the loss of his mother... They had such a close bond.”

Donda began dating Blakely after she had moved from Georgia to Chicago with Kanye West. Blakely chimed in on Kanye's rally in South Carolina where he stated that Harriet Tubman "never actually freed the slaves."

"Many of the things he said are not correct, but I’m distressed and concerned about where such things come from. Where did he get those ideas about Harriet Tubman? You know that’s not correct, so where did he get that ideation from?” Blakely said. “You can see his emotional distress and it pains me to see that. Donda would have been upset to see her son now, because he’s clearly in pain."

Nothing new really.

no s***

“my personal feeling” ....so another opinion, like everyone else

what he said about harriet tubman was re tardedly worded

but if you don’t understand what he meant to say i’m automatically disregarding anything else you have to say about him

i mean yeah makes sense. Around his mom's death date in Nov was his 2016 breakdown. and now in July her birthday just passed

but does he even know or talk to Ye anymore?

wish could’ve met her grand children

Yeah how do you not know where the deeper meaning comes from ...

Bro NLE Choppa is like 17 and he understood what Kanye was tryna say.

A lot of people on this site are damn near mid 20s and lack the common sense of a an actual kid

Cool maybe I can hit up the tabloids, say I'm a family friend, give my personal speculation and then steer the conversation in another direction

And Kanye's 43 and still cant articulate his points right. He shouldnt get a pass everytime he says dumb s*** but meant something else

Tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me

his wording wasn’t even that bad

Never said that now did i? He should be challenged on the way he says things.

What we shouldn’t do is call him anti back/anti black woman when it’s obvious that’s not what he meant to say

Only thing I'll say is that Ulysses Blakely is a dope name

Being famous is hell ya mom ex boyfriend can give his opinion to papers and it be debated validly as tho y'all close

Stop making excuses for a grown man, until Kanye confirms that’s what he meant, all this & that is just interpretations/hypotheticals of what y’all think he meant

This the same man that be with Candace Owens tf but we crazy for thinking he’s a dumbass ???

This isn’t the first time he’s said stupid ass s*** & miss represented us

this. seems like man just used this to catch an interview

This nigga knew Kanye at 6
