Kanye West Reacts To White Lives Matter Shirt Slams On Instagram

Fashion designer, rapper, and controversy creator Kanye West just made waves once more. And it all began with what Ye hoped would rank as one of his most acclaimed fashion shows. However, West’s decision to wear a White Lives Matter shirt earned a flood of attacks. And it didn’t help that Ye chose to dress his Yeezy supermodels in shirts with the same slogan, pointed out TMZ.

Based on his reaction to the backlash, Kanye seemed surprised that social media attacked his White Lives Matter motto. And so he turned to Instagram to react. But his response indicated that he donned the controversial shirt because he feels Black Lives Matter represents, in his words, a “scam.”

In Kanye’s Instagram reaction, he took the approach that his followers should thank him for educating the world about his views. And West posted in his standard all-capital-letters style. “EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER WAS A SCAM,” wrote Kanye. “NOW ITS OVER. YOU’RE WELCOME.”

However, understanding West’s allegations about Black Lives Matter requires knowing the alleged scandals surrounding the movement. For instance, one Black Lives Matter executive allegedly managed to take $10 million. And another exec allegedly used donor money to purchase a home. But Black Lives Matter executives have denied these allegations. 

And Kanye also attacked a contributing editor for Vogue magazine for a critique of his White Lives Matter style. That critic described West’s shirt as “dangerous” and “irresponsible.” However, West mocked the critic’s wardrobe. And he posted a pic with a caption that read, “I KNOOOOOOW ANNA [Wintour] HAAAATES THESE BOOTS.”
