Warning: This story contains strong language so please excuse the language. Readers be advised.

Grammy Winner Kanye West, Coon-ye, or Ye or Yeezy or Uncle Ruckus or whatever the fuck you want to call him has broke the internet and gotten our attention again.

Is it because he celebrating his ex-wife being single from Pete Davidson? No.

Is it because of his presidental run? Not even close.

Is it because he has a new song coming out? No.

Obviously we might know why because he done lost his damn mind.

It happened at his Paris fashion show on Monday promoting for his Yeezy trashy fashion line. West wore a shirt with the phrase "White Lives Matter" on the back alongside him was conservative commentator Candace Owens, who wore the same shirt in white.

Ye and Candance dressed in "White Lives Matter"

A response to the Black Lives Matter movement. The White Lives Matter t-shirts were also part of the runway where some models including Lauryn Hill's daughter Selah Marley wearing the t-shirts.

Ye and Selah

Well, Ye's t-shirts did cause a stir on Twitter. Everyone including Celebrities like Jaden Smith, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Venus Williams were outraged by Ye’s shirt taking a stand for WLM making him more attentive. Just when everyone was dissing his statement shirts, Ye, on the other hand, defends his t-shirts by saying they are represents "freedom of speech" not for racism and white domestic terrorism.

My thoughts

Honestly, Kanye has been trying to get attention since his divorce with his ex-wife Kim Kardashain which is honestly no surprise at all. No surprise at all!!! I mean him being a overall Trump supporter and him saying "slavery is a choice". It's honestly why Jay Z and Beyonce don't fuck with him and John Legend doesn't contact him anymore.

Honestly since when Ye is in support of "White Lives Matter" when he dissed Pete Davidson (Kim's then-boyfriend) by rapping in his song "Eazy": "God saved me from that crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass" and a music video claymation of him kidnapping Pete and then killing him holding his decapative head.

Also, honestly I don't know why Kanye says something controversial and us black people don't cancel him. To be honest that's like him getting away with murder but we still side with him regardless. When singer Chrisette Michelle was singing at Donald Trump Inauguration, Spike Lee decided not use her song in his Netflix, her family disowning her and still gets cancelled in the industry. Chrisette regrets performing for Donald but she's cancelling and why Kanye isn't getting cancelled when supported the former President Trump. Hmmmm......

Obviously, KANYE DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING F on Black folks. Did Kanye West ever said anything about Trayvon Martin or did he ever speak out against the police officer on what happened to George Floyd? As for those WLM t-shirts, I find them disturbing and huge slap in the face and it felt like a dangerous mindsets on bringing white supremacists to take over. In honest note, I wouldn't be surprised that white supremacists wearing those shirts and they'll thank Kanye and Candance for a "voice" when they starts some mess.

Also, I found this article on the Billboard news, Kanye has made a $2 million donation to assist the families of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, whose murders have sparked protests across America and around the globe. Funny! and yet he wears a WLM t-shirt.....

I would understand if he is talking about the organization because people running the organization has been asking for "donations" making the movement look like we are scamming people.

I support the Black Lives Matter movement because I am tired seeing black getting killed by police or white people like what happened to Trayvon, Charleston Church victims, Buffalo victims, Breonna Taylor. Plus, Karens and Kens who are filmed racial profiling African Americans. Its a way of saying enough is enough.

Yes, Everyone's life matters but all lives will not matter until Black lives matter.

Most People are going to say his ex-mother in law Kris Jenner is doing this for another episode for Hulu Kardashian series.

I mean I can imagine it now!

They talk about what happened in Paris and Ye's t-shirt and Kim sits down and starts saying: Kim: "When I saw those White Lives Matter, I was so disgusted" "I'm shocked" or give another excuse to possibly defend him even though she is no longer married to him. I don't know! Who knows!!!! I just hope this whole "White Lives Matter" doesn't go too far because if it does it's giving the racist white people the right to do dangerous things towards black people, asians, or any other races but I hope and pray we can all get along not deal with harshness this year or next year of 2023.

Comment on what you think about this whole thing on Ye. What do you think of those White Lives Matter? Would you ever cancel Kanye West because of the WLM t-shirts?

Be respectful!
