Kanye West has made some damning statements against Planned Parenthood, accusing the nonprofit organization of using abortion as part of a "black genocide" project.
The 43-year-old rapper slammed the reproductive health providers during an interview on Masked Singer presenter Nick Cannon's series, Cannon's Class.
West even went as far as to compare abortion to "genocide", and revealed that God had given him the information regarding Planned Parenthood.
"There’s some harsh facts that deal with the black genocide that is abortion," West said during the halfway point on the interview. He added:
"It's happening every day, and right now God has given me the information, and he ain’t gave me no other information other than this information, and we have this right now, so that means he wants me to say this now.
"In 50 years, there's been 22 million — over 22,500,000 — black people aborted strategically and on purpose. Planned Parenthood was set up and placed in minority communities to kill black people."

The 'Famous' singer added: "Abortion is the number one killer of black lives in the United States."
Back in July, West held is first "presidential rally" in Charleston, South Carolina - at which he not only spoke about his own parents nearly aborting him, but also exclaimed: "I almost killed my daughter. I almost killed my daughter."

Speaking to Cannon, West once again spoke about wife Kim Kardashian's experience with abortion, saying:
"Abortion culture teaches people that a child isn’t a real soul.
"It was my wife that said this is a soul, and the scariest thing is she had the pills. You take these pills […] and the next morning the baby’s gone. She had the pills in her hand."
West's comments come after he claimed in an interview with Forbes that he believes "Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work".
In response to those comments, Planned Parenthood’s Director of Black Leadership and Engagement Nia Martin-Robinson told Forbes in an emailed statement:
"Any insinuation that abortion is Black genocide is offensive and infantilizing.
"At Planned Parenthood, we trust and we stand with Black women who have, and continue to lead the charge when it comes to the health, rights and bodily autonomy of those in their communities."
The rapper's presidential campaign party name - the "Birthday Party" - was reportedly selected to spread a pro-life message and represent the babies who would born as a result of his mission.
