Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has slammed the Black Lives Matter movement, taking to social media to call it a well-known “scam.”
“Everyone knows Black Lives Matter was a scam,” Ye wrote on his Instagram story. “Now it’s over. You’re welcome.”

Ye’s Instagram post followed the rapper and fashion designer’s display of “White Lives Matter” shirts as part of his newest collection shown at his “Yeezy Season 9” show during Paris Fashion Week.
During his show, Ye told the crowd, “This is an unmanageable situation. You can’t turn the music lower. This is a god’s dream — a dream that can’t happen without the help of God.”
Outrage ensued as photos of the shirts spread online.
Temple University professor, BET News correspondent, and Black News Tonight host Marc Lamont Hill tweeted a photo of Ye standing next to conservative commentator Candace Owens, both wearing the “White Lives Matter” shirts, calling it “disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible.”

“Kanye West decision to wear a ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt is disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible. Some of y’all will rush to defend him. You should ask yourselves why,” Hill wrote.
It is unclear as to whether the shirts will be available as part of Ye’s new fashion line.
