The Diamond of the Week award goes to:
Sway Calloway
For those who may not know who Sway Calloway is, he’s a reporter, an executive producer for MTV News, and the co-host for the Wake Up Show. He has much respect amongst his peers and the Black community because he states the facts and gets down to the bottom of the issue instead of beating around the bush.
Well, just a few days ago, he interviewed the infamous Kanye West. Around seventeen minutes into the interview, Sway damn near got his head chewed off by Mr. West, whom was acting like a raging lunatic when Calloway asked him a simple NON OFFENSIVE question. It was absolutely ridiculous how West was losing his mind and he couldn’t understand that Calloway was just trying to talk to him as a friend to basically understand West’s frustration.
So I honor Sway Calloway with the Diamond of the Week award because although Calloway showed obvious signs that he was starting to get upset (and rightfully so), he still stayed in his seat and continued with the interview and got thru it without losing his cool. Not many of us can say that we would’ve been able to keep our composure if we have someone going damn near postal on us. But then again, maybe Calloway was able to take it because he knows West very well. At either rate, kudos to you Mr. Sway Calloway, for getting thru the interview.
