Ye’s “White Lives Matter” t-shirt kicked the controversies up a notch, dragging new names into the game. The rapper met with Gabriella Karefa-Johnson soon after a disagreement over his shirt broke out. Reports say Kanye West unleashed blatant criticism at the Vogue editor following her remarks at him at his catwalk event. 

As a result, new supporters from Gabriella’s front have joined forces as the rift over the hate slogan drives deeper. While names like Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber went up in support of the fashion editor, Ye is nowhere near stepping back. The Donda rapper instead made them the subject of mockery on his social media handles, calling out Justin.
