BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 9, 2016
On Tuesday, just two days before the release of a new album and Yeezy Season 3 collection to the world, Kanye West tweeted "BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!"
Dozens of women have shared stories of being sexually assaulted by Cosby. In December, he was officially charged with sexual assault in Pennsylvania.
It's worth mentioning that on "FACTS," released on New Year's Eve contained the lyric, Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby?/ Did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey?
A representative for Kanye West did not immediately return a request for comment.
By many, West's tweet was met with disapproval:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO https://t.co/plwTA8Fa8A
