While Kanye West has proclaimed himself a faithful Christian, often persecuted by the enemy, some days, he seems to take a lot of pleasure in raising hell around him.
This week had been very complicated for the rapper (the White Live Matter shirts, attacking Lizzo, Barack Obama, and BLM), so he decided to cap it with a weekend full of fresher and more twisted drama.
The MC and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, attended their oldest daughter, North West’s basketball game with a group of parents.
While Kardashian was casually dressed in tights and a simple T-shirt, West stood out from the pack. The artist wore his controversial “White Lives Matter” sweater.
West stood tall and proud as he cheered his daughter and created discomfort with the message splashed on his creation.
According to a parent at the sporting event, Kardashian stayed away from West. The person claimed that the billionaire exes did not talk.
However, West has been doing a lot of talking via social media and Fox News, where he explained the concept and aim of the jaw-dropping message.
He stated during a sit-down with Tucker Carlson that he is not worried about the backlash and added: “I do certain things from a feeling. I just channel the energy; it just feels right. It’s using a gut instinct, a connection with God, and brilliance.”
West went on to reveal that his father, a former Black Panther, had reached out to him to tell him he was finally proud of him and thought the concept was funny.
The fashion designer confessed: “I thought the shirt was a funny shirt. I thought the idea of wearing it was funny. And I said, ‘Dad, why do you think it’s funny?’ And he said, ‘Just a black man stating the obvious.’”
According to West, the Black Lives Matter movement is a “scam.” He continued with his train of thought: “It’s like a black girl saying, ‘I felt traumatized when I saw a black man wearing something he wasn’t supposed to wear. In America, we, as blacks, we’ll look down on each other on how good we speak. But we’re speaking English. There’s nothing whiter than English. We’re not in our native tongue, actually. So we judge each other on white goal lines, not based on exactly what our culture is based on.”
West, who compared the shirt to wearing Donald Trump‘s MAGA hat, stated: “My so-called friends/handlers around me told me if I said that I liked Trump, that my career would be over. That my life would be over. They said stuff like ‘People get killed for wearing a hat like that.’ They threatened my life. They basically said that I would be killed for wearing the hat.”
West, who went heavy on the drama on Saturday, is now being dragged for comments he made about Jews.
