"Marc Fargols [sic] moment made me and my wife tear up just now. Something about his mom being next to him," West confessed of himself and Bianca Censori seeing the American teacher who was released from Russian prison on February 11 be back in the country.

Fogel was arrested in August 2021 by Russian authorities after he attempted to enter the nation with 0.6 ounces of medical cannabis. He received a 14-year prison sentence in June 2022, but was recently freed.

During a bizarre social media rant last month, West wildly hinted at once hooking up with the president's daughter Ivanka Trump.

"GEORGE FARMER I DID NOT F--- YOUR WIFE REST EASY. JERROD [sic] KUSHNER ON THE OTHER HAND 👀," the "Runaway" rapper claimed regarding Farmer's wife, Candace Owens, and Jared Kushner — who tied the knot with Ivanka in 2009.

A few days prior, a teaser for Kanye's appearance on Justin LaBoy's podcast "Respectfully Justin" showcased the record producer alleging he had planned to attend the president's inauguration in January but decided not to after he was asked to apologize for his antisemitic remarks.

"It’s censorship," Kanye claimed. "They told me I have to write another apology and say again that I wasn’t an antisemitic static. What’s the word?"

After Justin confirmed his guest had used the correct term, Kanye replied: "I’m saying anti-sympathetic because anti-sympathetic, that’s not what it was. I don’t have feelings about anti-sympathetic."
