As a surprise to no one at all, Kanye West AKA Ye finds himself yet again at the center of controversy. This time it was at Paris Fashion Week when the rapper sported a “White Lives Matter” sweatshirt as he showcased the Season 9 collection of his brand, Yeezy. Apart from the numerous tweets condemning his action, a major backlash was from Vogue Fashion Editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Gabriella made her disdain public by posting about it on her Instagram stories and called the act “deeply offensive, violent and dangerous.”

This obviously did not go well with the Power singer as he, in turn, slammed her fashion sense and hurled other insults. Karefa-Johnson’s employer Vogue and well as her friend and supermodel Gigi Hadid came to her defense and called Kanye out for his behavior. However, looks like the rapper and record producer tried to mend fences with the Vogue editor. Let us see how it went down.
