Kanye West is known for his controversial views, which often draw strong backlash.
But his speech at Saturday Night Live in 2018, when he performed and went off-script, shocked the show's co-host Michael Che, who confronted him backstage.
It is documented in Ye's new documentary, In Whose Name? which sees him delivering a pro-Trump rant while wearing a MAGA, or Make America Great Again, hat.
Now 48, at the time, said, "You can't be controlled by monolithic thoughts. You can't always have, every time you have a Black subject matter like [Bill] Cosby that you have to have a Black comedian talking about him."
After saying this, Ye points to Michael, saying, "You know what I mean?" Then he continued, "They bullied me backstage. They bullied me, and then they say I'm in a sunken place. You wanna see the sunken place? I'mma listen to y'all now. I'm gonna put my Superman cape on."
The 42-year-old then approached the Grammy winner backstage, as it shows in the documentary.
"You good with me? For real? That was ***** up," the comedian said to the father-of-four.
Kanye, in return, denied he was referring to him; instead, he claimed the "Black comedian" joke was a reference to Leslie Jones.
"I'm the Black comedian that made a joke about Cosby," Michael countered. "That's ******* up. Why'd you do that to me?"
On this, the Power hitmaker told him he "loved him". The SNL host replied, "I love you, too. I'm a fan. Why would you do that to me?" Ye responded, "I wasn't doing it to you."
The documentary ultimately shows a third-party intervention to de-escalate the situation.
In Whose Name is out, though it has a limited release.
