Comedian Michael Che has revealed that Kanye West privately apologized to him after a heated misunderstanding during the rapper’s controversial Saturday Night Live appearance in 2018. The moment resurfaced this week following the release of Ye’s new documentary In Whose Name?, which reignited debate over his behind-the-scenes clashes with cast members.
In a candid interview with SiriusXM on Thursday, September 25, Che admitted he doesn’t enjoy revisiting the incident, but confirmed that the Grammy-winning artist later reached out. “I don’t really like talking about it,” Che said. “But yeah, Kanye did apologize to me about that situation. It was a misunderstanding more than anything else.”
The 2018 SNL episode remains infamous, with Ye delivering a pro-Trump speech on stage that was cut from the broadcast, sparking tension among cast and crew. Che’s revelation of an apology sheds new light on their dynamic, softening one of the more contentious chapters in the show’s recent history.
