Kanye West 'White Lives Matter' Issue: Here's What's Happening So Far

Kanye West has been making a huge noise on social media again after reigniting a very controversial topic by, as usual, picking fights with people who dare to go against his line of thinking.

So far, the issue of her attacks with Vogue's Gabriella Karefa-Johnson has branched out to plenty of other people, but despite the new emerging issue, Kanye made it a point to underscore a rather isolated problem that he has - his family and children.

Kanye West's White Lives Matter' Issue Timeline

Last weekend, Kanye West surprised everyone as he strutted down the catwalk on his debut at Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show, introducing his Yeezy line.

Earlier this week, Ye launched his Yeezy Season 9 event, and during the anticipated show, he was wearing a shirt donning a rather controversial statement - "White Lives Matter." The Anti-Defamation league categorized the phrase to be a hate slogan, adopted by White Supremacists throughout the years to swat the "Black Lives Matter" protests. (via NME)

Many artists have drawn ire at Kanye's bold statements on his show.

Rapper Boosie went on a fiery rant on Twitter to air out his frustration and disappointment to the "Donda" rapper. Meanwhile, Jaden Smith revealed that he walked out during the show. Among those who expressed their sentiments, Vogue's Gabriella Karefa-Johnson publicly aired her thoughts on social media, launching a scathing criticism of Kanye's recent public pronouncements on the "White Lives Matter" movement.

Kanye got a hold of that and threw a tantrum on Instagram, blasting Karefa-Johnson and mocking her own fashion sense. Vogue came to the defense of their veteran fashion editor - standing by Karefa. Supermodel Gigi Hadid also came to the editor's defense, and so did Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory.'

Furthermore, Emory also took a jab at Kanye on bringing up Virgil Abloh's name on many of his most recent tantrums online.

Yesterday, Kanye clarified that he and Karefa had already resolved their issue and had Baz Luhrmann tape it. Meanwhile, Kanye is relentless on social media. He doubled down on his wearing of the "White Lives Matter" shirt, insisting that "they do" matter, even pointing out that its opposite movement, "Black Lives Matter," a scam. (via Rolling Stone)

At his yesterday's pity party, Kanye brought up his custody issues with his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, and how Hadid, among many others, thought of him when he was being kept away from his children. However, Khloe Kardashian unleashed an honest clap back on Kanye, revealing that he had the freedom to them all this time.

Of course, Kanye refused it and called Khloe a liar. In the latter part of his recent statement, he also made snide comments about John Legend, with who he had a major falling out because of politics, and Justin Bieber's wife, Hailey Bieber, who also came to the defense of Karefa-Jones.
