Chelsea Clinton said she’s stopped listening to Ye’s music over the artist formerly known as Kanye West’s “unconscionable” behavior toward women.
Clinton is an avid runner and removed Ye’s music from her running playlist. She made the admission during an interview in which she was promoting her new series Gutsy, which highlights the life of Ye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
“I’ve had to let go of Kanye because it’s just, I can’t. Just the way that he has treated Kim Kardashian, the way that he has talked about women is unconscionable to me,” Clinton said. “That was some of my favorite running music. And I have removed it from my music library.”

Ye and Kardashian began their divorce last year after being married for nearly seven years. When Kardashian began dating comedian Pete Davidson, Ye began an online campaign against him, which got the rapper temporarily suspended from Instagram over his controversial posts, seeming to wish for Davidson’s death. The two are no longer dating.
“I have long admired Kim’s commitment to criminal justice reform,” Clinton said. “I knew she’d gone to law school. I knew that she was doggedly committed to these issues and to individual incarcerated people’s efforts to lessen their sentences or fully commute their sentences. But to hear her talk about how this is such a significant part of her identity, of how she thinks about her role as a celebrity, of how thoughtful she is about where her celebrity can help and where it may be harmful … I just was really impressed by how, not only important this is to her, but how important this is to her definition of who she is.”
