Kanye West Drags Justin Bieber Into Drama After Hailey Bieber Speaks Out Against His ‘White Lives Matter’ Shirt: ‘Am I Canceled?’

usmagazine.com:

Stirring the pot. After Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) showed support for Vogue fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Kanye West chose to address the comments by involving her husband, Justin Bieber.“Wait Am I canceled again???,” West, 45, captioned a screenshot of an article detailing Hailey’s response via Instagram on Wednesday, October 5. “Justin [Bieber] please let me know.”The rapper originally faced backlash after he wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt during Paris Fashion Week earlier this week.

Following the runway show for his Yeezy clothing line — which included models showing off the shirts as well — Karefa-Johnson took to social media to question the decision.“It’s become clear that some viewers think my previous post containing my working, evolving thoughts on Kanye’s show was some sort of distorted justification for the incredibly irresponsible and dangerous act of sending ‘W*** Lives Matter’ T-shirts down a runway,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram Story on Monday, October 3. “Please understand: it wasn’t.”Karefa-Johnson continued: “The tshirts this man conceived, produced, and shared with the world are pure violence.

There is no excuse, there is no art here. I’m sorry I failed to make that clear — I thought I did. I do think if you asked Kanye, he’d say there was art, and revolution, and all of the things in that t-shirt.

There isn’t. As we work through the trauma of this moment, especially those of us who suffered in that room, let’s have some grace for one another.”West, for his part, slammed the criticism by reposting photos of Karefa-Johnson and mocking her appearance.
