Kanye West responds to ‘White Lives Matter’ controversy with Fox News interview

Twitter and Instagram posts of Ye’s former fashion protégé, Ian Connor, appear to show the 29-year-old handing out boxes and boxes of the controversial YZY SZN 9 tees to the homeless people gathered in the dangerous Los Angeles neighborhood. “Courtesy of Kanye West,” a man, presumably Connor, says in a video as the camera shows a busy street and a sprinter van stocked with boxes. “Load 1 – Skid Röw,” Connor tweeted with a picture of a woman showing off the oversized long sleeve white shirt.

Kanye West is dealing with the fallout from his Paris Fashion Week scandal, during which he wore a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt, slammed a Vogue editor for her criticism, and, later, was temporarily restricted from multiple social media outlets after sharing an anti-semitic message.

Kanye West is finally facing some consequences for his anti-Semitic remarks, but, of course, he doesn’t care! Sigh…

Kanye West‘s recent Fox News interview, the rapper makes a string of anti-Semitic comments, attacks Planned Parenthood, and shares other inflammatory sentiments.In the footage – obtained and shared by Vice – West describes Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger as a “known eugenics” [sic] who created the organisation with the Ku Klux Klan to “control the Jew population”. Sanger has long been criticised for allying herself with eugenicist organisations and sharing some of their views – which Planned Parenthood nowadays denounce as “objectionable and outmoded”.West added: “When I say Jew, I mean the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race Black really are.

Newly revealed footage shows that Kanye West made antisemitic comments and a series of other bizarre claims that were left out of his interview last week with Tucker Carlson.

Dragging them into the drama. Amid the backlash to his controversial Yeezy fashion show, Kanye West hasn’t held back when it comes to sharing his opinions — or involving other celebrities.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has shared his thoughts on the “White Lives Matter” t-shirt worn by Kanye West at his recent Yeezy show for Paris Fashion Week.West has faced significant backlash for wearing a shirt with the phrase – an appropriation of the Black Lives Matter slogan used to protest racial injustice, discrimination and police brutality – along with models who walked at the show, and conservative pundit Candace Owens.Now, Diddy has taken to Instagram in response to West’s attire, disagreeing with its message. Diddy – who collaborated with West on Ty Dolla $ign’s 2015 song ‘Guard Down’ – begins the video by defending West as a “freethinker”, saying that he “will always support [his] brother,” but said of West’s stunt: “I don’t rock with it.

Kanye West has been hit with backlash over his “White Lives Matter” shirts after their debut at Paris Fashion Week, reportedly resulting in Jaden Smith walking out of West’s Yeezy fashion show, where he was seated in the front row.

Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West joined Fox News' Tucker Carlson for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview on Thursday where addressed the controversy arising over the "White Lives Matter" t-shirt he wore alongside friend and commentator Candace Owens. West, now legally known as Ye, caused an uproar particularly on the left after showcasing the shirt.

Kanye “Ye” West. In a new statement, the activewear company said that its relationship with the 45-year-old GRAMMY-winning musician is “under review.” “Adidas has always been about creativity, innovation and supporting athletes and artists to achieve their vision.

Kanye West has issued another response following backlash over him wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt this weekend, insisting: “They do.”The rapper faced controversy after he wore the shirt emblazoned with the slogan when he introduced his latest Yeezy line after making his catwalk debut at Balenciaga’s Paris Fashion Week show.Earlier this week, Ye doubled down on his views, writing on his Instagram Stories that the Black Lives Matter movement “was a scam”. He added: “Now it’s over…you’re welcome”.Now, he has responded with a new Instagram post which featured a picture of the long-sleeved tee in question: “Here’s my latest response when people ask me why I made a tee that says white lives matter… THEY DO.”A post shared by Ye (@kanyewest)As Rolling Stone noted, the phrase – an appropriation of the Black Lives Matter slogan – has been adopted by white supremacist organisations in recent years, and is categorised by the Anti-Defamation League as a hate slogan.At the Paris event, West was pictured with conservative commentator Candice Owens – who has been critical of the Black Lives Matter movement – wearing a shirt with the same slogan.In another Instagram post shared yesterday (October 5), the rapper questioned where critics of his ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt were when he claimed he was unable to see his children after his split with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.“So why did everyone feel so free to attack me about my t-shirt but Candace Owens was the only public figure to say that it was wrong for the Kardashians to keep me from seeing my daughter,” he wrote to Instagram.

Kanye West does not deal in consistencies. Throughout the rapper’s colourful 26-year-long career, his currency has been unpredictability. But if there is one thing that Ye, as he prefers to be known, has been able to depend upon it would surely be a generous helping of the benefit of the doubt.

murdered by three white neighbours in the United States in 2020 in a racially motivated hate crime – say Kanye West promoting the phrase “White Lives Matter” and disparaging the Black Lives Matter movement earlier this week has helped to “legitimize extremist behavior”.On Monday (October 3), while introducing his latest Yeezy line with a show at Paris Fashion Week, West (legally known as Ye) wore a shirt with the words “White Lives Matter” on the back. The phrase – an appropriation of the Black Lives Matter slogan used to protest racial injustice, discrimination and police brutality – has been categorised by the Anti-Defamation League as a hate slogan.West was also photographed at the event alongside conservative Black commentator Candace Owens wearing a matching shirt.

Kanye West and social media controversy go hand in hand and if wearing White Lives Matter jumpers at a recent fashion show in Paris wasn’t enough, he’s followed it up by arguing that Black Lives Matter is a ‘scam’. Black Lives Matter is an international political and social movement that aims to highlight examples of racism and racial inequality experienced by Black people. Posting on Instagram, Kanye said: ‘Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam.

Kanye West not only claimed that Black Lives Matter was a ‘scam,’ but he also seemingly took credit for moving the discussion away from the movement and onto himself, just a day after debuting and wearing a "White Lives Matter" shirt at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris. Ye, as the rapper prefers to be called, shared in a since-deleted Instagram story, "Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam.

The Black Lives Matter movement is speaking out.

Kanye West sparked controversy with his YZY Paris Fashion Week show, as he arrived wearing a black sweatshirt with the slogan 'White Lives Matter' written across the back, with an image of Pope John Paul II printed on the front. Posing alongside Kanye, 43, was far-right commentator Candace Owens, who sported a white sweatshirt with the same slogan plastered across.
