Kanye West stirred up new controversy with his White Lives Matter tshirt

“When Jamie Foxx is on top..” &#8211; Kanye West Compares White Lives Matter Controversy to &#8216;Django Unchained&#8217;

Kanye West is not done with being in the controversial limelight just yet. The
artist usually has a lot to say, but this time it wasn’t what he said, it is
what he conveyed through his clothes. Ye stirred up the celebrity industry when
he wore a White Lives Matter T-shirt to a fashion show recently, the opposite to
the Black Lives Matter movement fighting for equal rights for black people.
Hailey Baldwin and Jiji Hadid, amongst others, united against Ye’s actions
bringing him under heavy scrutiny.

Meanwhile, the Gold Digger singer has gone into a streak of posts defending his
actions while attacking a new celebrity at a rapid pace. Despite the mass
opinion against him, he does not seem to slow down. In fact, West is only
becoming firmer, by giving an interview with Fox News where he compared his act
with Jamie Foxx starrer Django Unchained.

cowboy look in the movie Django Unchained. “It’s like in Django, when Jamie Foxx
is on top of a horse, and Samuel Jackson is like, ‘You know, that Black guy is
not supposed to be on top of the horse,’ okay,” he explained. It looks like West
takes also takes a liking to Jamie, which is apparent from his social media
post.



The Praise God singer wrote an Instagram post asking which actor should play him
and if a movie based on the rapper was ever made. The artist responded to his
own question in comments that the actor to play his role would have to be Jamie
Foxx, whom Ye considers being a genius. And in his usual way, the Flashing
Lights singer deleted the post. He also made several other comparisons during
the interview, justifying his actions.

think of West’s comparison of his real self to the reel character of Jamie’s
