New York - Rapper Kanye West, on the receiving end of criticism in the music world after backing President Donald Trump, sparked fresh outrage on Tuesday when he called slavery "a choice." The rapper, never shy about expressing himself, made the comments in passing during one of two free-flowing interviews he gave as he promotes two upcoming albums. "You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice," West told TMZ Live, the broadcast wing of the celebrity gossip site. West elaborated little on his statement but appeared to be drawing a parallel to how he is presumed to hold certain views as an African American artist.
