In this thought-provoking clip of Black Out with Ian & Rashad, the hosts dive headfirst into Kanye West's viral "betrayal list"—a headline-grabbing moment featuring names like Kim Kardashian, Diddy, Ty Dolla $ign, Harriet Tubman, Curious George, and even Northwest. Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap break down what it means when Kanye adds both real people and fictional characters to his list, questioning the motives, mindset, and meaning behind these choices.

But this conversation goes much deeper. Rashad reflects on Kanye's undeniable influence as a musical and cultural icon, while also discussing the heavy toll of mental health struggles. The hosts honestly discuss compassion versus criticism, especially when someone is clearly in a vulnerable state. Should we judge a public figure’s actions if their mental health is visibly compromised? What does accountability look like for celebrities under immense pressure?

Ian adds his raw take on what’s “justifiable” among Kanye’s alleged betrayals—debating if children can ever truly betray a parent, and reacting in disbelief to wild entries like Harriet Tubman or Curious George. Together, they ask tough questions about the role of family, friends, and even strangers when someone in the spotlight is clearly suffering.

Tune in for a real, unfiltered discussion—part pop culture, part mental health awareness, all rooted in empathy. Whether you’re a Kanye fan or just interested in the headlines, this clip challenges us all to look beyond the sensational and see the human side.
