During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live show, Jack Antonoff took a punch at rapper Kanye West, expressing that the rapper’s ‘diaper should be changed’.
On Tuesday night (April 16), Bleachers frontman and producer Jack Antonoff made these comments.
The segment followed host Kimmel’s question to Antonoff about his tendency to collaborate with female artists such as Taylor Swift, Lorde, St. Vincent, and Florence + The Machine.
Antonoff kidded about the responsiveness he sees among those in the music industry, attracting a correlation with Kanye West’s actions.
“The amount of sensitivity—it’s like watching Kanye. And Jimmy, you might appreciate this since I know you have your own approach to the right and how you handle them.”
“You’re more aligned with my perspective on these matters than others. I prefer not to confront people aggressively. That’s what they expect – this oversensitive behavior.” “If I saw Kanye, I would jokingly tell him, ‘Your diaper needs changing, it’s a big issue’,” added Antonoff.
While Antonoff finds Kanye’s conduct hostile, particularly his anti-Semitic comments, he decides to address it cleverly as opposed to disapproving. In February 2024, he poked similar joke at Kanye, such as suggesting a diaper change during an interview with the LA Times.
On Jack Antonoff’s music, he made an unexpected appearance during Lana Del Rey’s title set at Coachella 2024 last weekend and played piano while a hologram of Del Rey performed Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have—But I Have It.
