Kanye West and Kim Kardashian reunited for their 9 year old daughter Norththe basketball game. The Pablo’s life The 45-year-old rapper wore his title again by doing the “White Lives Matter” shirt at the children’s sporting event in Thousand Oaks, Calif. on Friday, October 7. Clean-shaven Kanye stood sideways in a white version of the shirt paired with black jeans and his black Balenciaga croc boots, while Kim sat among other relatives and friend SKIMS Chief Marketing Officer Tracy Romulus. It’s unclear if the exes interacted during the game.

Kanye first donned the controversial t-shirt, which takes aim at the powerful Black Lives Matter movement, during his show at Paris Fashion Week on October 3. He posed alongside a well-known right-wing commentator. Candace Owens, who wore a white version of the shirt. Both versions included various images from the ending Pope John Paul II at the front, who died in 2005.

Kim, 41, “lost it” when she saw Ye in the shirt. “Kim isn’t surprised by Kanye’s decision to wear this on his shirt and thinks he’s trying to get attention once again,” a source said. HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “She knows he likes to stir up controversy and she doesn’t even care. Of course she thinks he’s making a horrible choice and the message is very offensive to so many people.

Fans were particularly baffled by Ye’s choice to wear the garment given his past support for the Black Lives Matter movement which inspired mass protests following the death of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arberyand Breonna Taylor. The Chicago-born rapper donated $2 million to their respective families in June 2020 — but appeared to deny his own message by wearing the ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt.

“Kim knows how much Kanye has been supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement,” the source also told HL, saying the KKW Fragrance founder was “completely confused” by her ex-husband.
In an interview with Tucker-Carlson, the Yeezy founder explained why he wore the shirt. “The answer to why I wore a ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt is – they do. It’s the most obvious thing,” said on FOX News. “The same people who stripped us of our identity and labeled us as a color told us what it means to be black. And that’s the vernacular we’re supposed to have,” he also said.

Kanye also confusedly described the shirt as “funny”, alleging that his father Ray West felt the same. “I thought the shirt was a funny shirt. I thought the idea of wearing it was fun,” he further explained. “And I said ‘Dad why do you think that’s funny?’ And he said “just a black man stating the obvious”.
The shirt sparked a slew of controversy for Kanye beyond the Kardashian-Jenner clan, especially after vogue editor Gabriella Karefa Johnson criticized his shirt and his show. Describing the shirt as “pure violence” and “irresponsible” in a live video, she added: “There is no excuse, there is no art here…I think if you ask to Kanye, he would say there was art and revolution. , and all the things in that T-shirt. There isn’t. Ye then took to Instagram with a slew of slurs aimed at the editor, saying, ‘She’s not a fashion person’, over a screenshot of an image of her.
Gabriella’s friends Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber both games in his defense. Gigi, 25, called Kanye “a bully and joke” in an Instagram post. “You would like to have a percentage of his intellect. You have no idea,” she also wrote. “If there really is interest in any of your bullshit, she might be the only person who can save you. As if the “honor” of being invited to your show should prevent someone from giving their opinion?
Hailey took to Instagram with similar sentiments. “My respect for you runs deep my friend!” wrote the founder of Rhode Beauty. “To know is to adore you and to work with you is an honor… the kindest.” the most talented. the funniest. the classiest.
