Here we go, Digitial Music News [digitalmusicnews.com] posts this interesting bit on the white people who don't even know that they are white behind Kanye. Except, maybe they do? There is this selfie [digitalmusicnews.com] with someone flashing a white supremacist gang sign. Oh, dear.

Apparently this little selfie wasn’t supposed to be posted on social media. Now, YouTube Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen is denying the implied affiliations.

Of course, YouTube’s Global Head of Music has the right to believe whatever he wants. But Lyor Cohen is apparently facing serious heat for espousing alt-right, pro-Trump affiliations.

After weeks of silence, Cohen is finally responding.

The issue started at Kanye West’s residence in Calabasas, a wealthy LA suburb. That’s where UMG chairman Lucian Grainge and Cohen were roped into a selfie with the MAGA-loving West. Apparently the pow-wow was called to showcase some new music.

Again, oh dear!

Cohen says the snapshot was intended for private consumption only.
