Kanye West has a growing list of people he has a beef with, and new on the list is fellow rapper Meek Mill, who criticized him for his choice of clothing.
West surprised fans and fashion enthusiasts by hosting a surprise Yeezy fashion show during Paris fashion week on Oct. 3.
But fans were more surprised by what he was seen wearing. The 45-year-old rapper was wearing a black shirt that read, "White Lives Matter."
According to reports, the theme of the fashion show was unity and self-expression. West had Black models walk the runway sporting "White Lives Matter" shirts.
He explained prior to the show that he views himself as a producer, just like in his music. He explained that he takes a "symphony of ideas" and then "plays a song."
He was condemned by fellow artists and fans alike, however, he doubled down on his stand and added fuel to the fire by posting on his Instagram Story: "Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now [it's] over. You're welcome."

Livid
Fellow artists and fans were livid with his response to the criticisms, with rappers like Diddy, Boosie Badazz, and more calling him out, reports say.
The "Bound 2" rapper revealed a screenshot of his conversation with Diddy, which revolved around the effects West's shirt might cause on the Black community. West accused the 52-year-old and called him a "fed." He also posted pictures that read "Ima make it so no n***as won't feel like talking to me no more. [sic]"
Another rapper who did not stand idly is Meek Mills who took to social media and expressed his frustrations. "I used to listen to ye every night and jail for motivation on god!"
He also added that despite their differences, he kept mum, however, when West paraded the controversial shirt and berated other rappers publicly, he was not having it.
"It hurts my heart to even know some of y'all this crazy and lame," he said.
"What you be doing for fame driving you crazy... look how hard you came at me n***as know I'm vocal it's like you hate your own people."
He also cited other instances wherein West was less than accommodating with fellow Black rappers, including not promoting Vory's album.
"You ain't even post [Vory] album after all that work he did for you and he look up to you ... you made sure you said Jack Harlow was the hottest in Kentucky overlooked est and Vory. [sic]"
As of this writing, West is yet to respond to Mill's accusations.
