West, a few hours ago, called the Black Lives Matter a “scam” on his Instagram
stories. People all over social media are seemingly baffled and downright
concerned about Kanye going to any lengths. As a result, Twitter has got an
insane level of reaction from all over the world regarding the matter. While
some are infuriated over the hate statement, his fans mention that defending Ye
is getting hard for them.

This came after his abrupt end of ties with fashion brands like Gap and Adidas.
According to the rapper, the authorities met for meetings without his knowledge
and hence, did not serve the terms of the contract. However, this is not the
first time Ye stirred controversy over crucial matters. In light of such tweets,
reports

also mentioned his 2018 slavery statement that said the slave system “sounds
like a choice” although he later took his words back.
