Dez Bryant logged on Twitter on Wednesday with something to get off his chest and it had something to do with the cancellation of Kanye West and free speech as a whole.
According to Bro Bible, the former Dallas Cowboys WR started off firing off several tweets related to free speech, being canceled, and then finally how Kanye West doesn’t dislike Jewish people.
Via the report:
“First, Bryant tweeted that “90% of time the story headline is misleading.” He then followed that up by saying “A lot of people can’t keep it real and that’s the problem…”
The former Pro Bowl pass catcher then directly addressed freedom of speech, tweeting that “It seems that freedom of speech only applies whenever the right person is saying it.”
Bryant then posted a clip of Kanye to his page where he claimed that West does not hate Jewish people.
“I don’t think Kanye Hate Jewish people… I listen to his entire interview his part of it “

The fallout from recent antisemitic remarks by Kanye West continued this week which included the rapper being dropped by his talent agency, a production company ending plans for a documentary about him, and a statement of condemnation by his estranged wife Kim Kardashian. In a statement, the film studio MRC announced that it has abandoned a documentary project involving Ye.
“Kanye is a producer and sampler of music. Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3000 years – the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain. This song was performed acapella in the time of the Pharaohs, Babylon and Rome, went acoustic with The Spanish Inquisition and Russia’s Pale of Settlement, and Hitler took the song electric. Kanye has now helped mainstream it in the modern era,” they wrote.
He was also dropped by Adidas for his string of antisemitic rhetoric. Ye’s multi-year partnership with Adidas was valued at $1.5 billion.
Ye tweeted he was “going death con 3 (sic) On JEWISH PEOPLE,” and also that, “You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
His tweet has since been removed, and Twitter locked his account.
“Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” Kardashian said in a statement published on her Instagram account, which has 332 million followers. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
