Talking with Tucker Carlson, Kanye West doubles down on 'White Lives Matter' backlash
Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, model Gigi Hadid, rapper Jaden Smith, model Selah Marley and Khloé Kardashian weigh in on those shirts.“She was personally targeted and bullied,” the magazine’s statement said. “It is unacceptable. Now more than ever voices like hers are needed and in a private meeting with Ye today she once again spoke her truth in a way she felt best, on her terms.”
Talking with Carlson, West said the backlash “was a setup.” But then he turned his feud with Karefa-Johnson into commentary on his “good friend” Lizzo and her body. “When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots … attack her for losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal, when it’s actually unhealthy,” West said. “If someone thinks it’s attractive, to each his own. It’s actually clinically unhealthy. And for people to promote that, it’s demonic.”Kanye West won’t face charges over battery accusation. His lawyers say he was stalked by an autograph broker.
When Carlson asked the rap mogul to explain his stance on body diversity, West claimed that “it’s genocide of the Black race. They want to kill us in any way they can.” Elsewhere in the interview, West spoke about Kardashian and her ties to the Clinton family. He claimed that “he didn’t know how close my own wife was to the Clintons,” presumably referring to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Carlson then asked whether the rapper felt pressure from his wife and her political connections.
