West was being interviewed by WMAL. At the link is the audio interview and a clarification by West:

That’s really good of you to provide the link. Much appreciated.

Well, he's walking it back with this quote,

“The media is trying to put me against Herman Cain. I guess its good for them to see two black men against each other. The facts are I am not telling Cain to step down. That is his decision and his only. What I said is the media focus on these incidents and “alleged affairs” are a distraction, and we as a country need to move on from this subject and get the focus on what the GOP contenders can seriously do for this country.”

But I heard the initial interview and he definitely at the time was advising Herman to get out of the race.

I am glad he thought better of that...but it should never have been said in the first place.
