Trevor Noahis rejecting claims that he has “beef” withKanye West.
The Daily Showhost, 38, responded to an audience member who asked him why he’s “beefing” with the artist, now legally known as Ye, in aclip posted to the show’s official TikTok account.
The interaction took place during a segment break on the show, and came months after Noahspoke about West’s treatmentof his former wife,Kim Kardashian, on Instagram.
West, 45, previously took aim at the television host after Noahcommentedon his split from Kardashian, 42, earlier this year, saying in March that West had “become more and more belligerent in how he tries to get Kim back.” West then called Noah a racial slur on the social media platform in response, which resulted in an Instagram suspension.
“Why am I beefing with Kanye? That’s an interesting way to phrase it because a beef has to go both ways,” Noah said in the video. “Genuinely it does. In my limited understanding of the world, beef has always been something that generally will happen between two hip-hop artists. I’ve never beefed withKanye West. I was concerned aboutKanye West.”
