CR: A Detroit, Michigan, radio station is pulling Kanye West’s songs off the air after his controversial comments about slavery earlier this week.

Fox 2 News reports that morning hosts BiGG and Shay Shay of 105.1 The Bounce, a “throwback Hip Hop and R&B station,” went live on Facebook to announce they would no longer play West’s music.

“Why can’t we make a statement? In the small fish that we are, to say, I don’t want to hear Kanye right now. I don’t want to play his music; I don’t want to hear him on our show,” Shay Shay said.

“As of this moment, we will #MuteKanye on the Morning Bounce and we will not play any of Kanye West’s music, music that he’s featured on, music that he raps on, none of his throwbacks. We are banning Kanye West’s music from this radio station,” BiGG added.

West came under fire earlier this week after he said black slavery in America was a “choice” in an interview with TMZ.

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years … For 400 years? That sounds like a choice,” he said, adding “you were there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all. It’s like we’re mentally imprisoned.”

After backlash for these comments, West took to Twitter Tuesday to clarify his comments in tweets that have since been deleted. more
