Kanye West talks about supporting Donald Trump, White Lives Matter shirt and more in new interview.
Kanye West has been making headling for his social media presence, as well as making appearances for rare interviews. The Donda rapper now sat down with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson for a new interview, where the rapper discusses supporting Donald Trump during the 2016 election when he was rocking the MAGA hat.
“My so-called friends-slash-handlers around me told me if I said that I liked Trump that my career would be over, that my life would be over,” he said. “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.”
The Yeezy mogul also addresses him recently wearing the “White Lives Matter” shirt during YZY SZN 9 Fashion Show. “My dad is an educated ex-Black Panther and he put a text to me today. He said, ‘White Lives Matter hahaha.’ And I said I thought the shirt was a funny shirt,” said Ye. “I thought the idea of me 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.’”
Following his controversial fashion show, the rapper responded by saying that Black Lives Matter was a scam. “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now Its over. You’re welcome,” he wrote in his recent IG post.
Ye kept some of his sharpest criticism for his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who he criticised for appearing in a recent edition of Interview magazine with her bottom exposed “Kim is a Christian, but she has people who want her to go to Interview magazine and put her ass out while she’s a 40-something-year-old multi-billionaire with four Black children and this is how fashion, how they want to present her,” he said of the cover, in which Kim posed with her rear exposed to the camera while wearing a jockstrap.
