Kanye West

<p>It&#8217;s only Tuesday (October 4) and this week is already kicking off with a bang. Last night, fans were keenly focused on Twitter <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/438009-nicki-minaj-changes-twitter-avi-to-jt-amid-beef-with-cardi-b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">after Cardi B and JT</a> erupted in a scathing back and forth. The ladies turned the spat into disses about career statuses, and before anyone knew, the &#8220;Up&#8221; rapper&#8217;s sister joined the fray. Although that verbal chaos left some fans disheartened with the growing beef among women in Hip Hop, nothing could prepare the masses <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/438113-tremaine-emory-blasts-kanye-west-for-using-virgils-death" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for Kanye West</a>.</p>



<p>The big news on the block was West wearing and showcasing a &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; shirt and featuring the design in his YZYSZN9 reveal. He was also spotted with <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/438038-kanye-west-says-everyone-knows-black-lives-matter-was-a-scam" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">friend Candace Owens</a> who was wearing a similar top.</p>

<p>The reactions regarding this look have been a mixed bag, but Black Lives Matter activists—including entertainers—have come forward to reject West&#8217;s take. Ye has defended the look and the political ideology, cementing on social media that he believes Black Lives Matter is a scam. Meanwhile, one of his most famed collaborators, <a href="/profile/JamieFoxx" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Jamie Foxx</a>, took to his Instagram account to pen an impassioned statement about his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/438018-twitter-slams-lauryn-hills-daughter-for-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-at-kanye-show" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support of Black Lives Matter</a> while reminiscing on the movement that was inspired by political violence.</p>



<p>&#8220;I’m sitting here reflecting on the moment when George Floyd was killed… I remember how the whole entire world was affected by this senseless brutal murder that was captured on film,&#8221; wrote Foxx. &#8220;I remember how we all felt…no matter what color you were… that This was the worst display of human behavior.&#8221;</p>



<p>He reflected on the response of tens of thousands of people joining together to speak against police brutality.</p>



<p>&#8220;Couldn’t believe what I was seeing… more than 30,000 mostly white kids… Young… chanting, Black Lives Matter… from a person who’s gone to protest all the way back to Rodney king… I was filled with emotions to see this… #hope,&#8221; he continued, adding that he brought his children to protests to have them by his side. </p>



<p>He ended his message by saying that the &#8220;narrative of Black Lives Matter&#8221; <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/437994-kanye-west-receives-wave-of-backlash-over-white-lives-matter-garb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has been &#8220;twisted&#8221;</a> and &#8220;taken advantage of,&#8221; but he encouraged supporters to stay the course, regardless of what headlines they see in the media.</p>
