'Troll move or marketing': Kanye West and Candace Owens slammed for flaunting 'White Lives Matter' shirt

The rapper has been running into various controversies recently, which ignited after he flaunted a black sweatshirt with the tagline,'White Lives Matter' along with Candace Owens, to his Yeezy special fashion show in Paris, France.

The tweet which was seen on his official Twitter handle for a couple of hours was then immediately taken down, with the message, "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules." By the term 'Deathcon', the rapper seems to be referring to the military term “DEFCON,” which denotes the five levels of security that Pentagon uses to indicate the threats the country faces from other nations.

A Twitter rep said Kanye “has been locked due to a violation of Twitter’s policies.” This indicates that he cannot currently tweet or do any activities on his Twiitter handle. Meanwhile, Deadline reported that a Meta spokesperson confirmed that Instagram deleted content from Kanye’s Instagram page and placed a restriction on the account.

However, The American Jewish Committee advocacy group posted a video on Instagram on Friday, October 7, and called out Kanye for making “incoherent rants laden with racist and antisemitic undertones.” Furthermore, previously Kanye slammed Mark Zuckerberg for restricting his Instagram handle after sharing antisemitic texts with Sean Combs. The rapper took to Twitter in protest and lashed out against the tech Moghul and tweeted, "Look at this Mark. How you gone kick me off instagram You used to be my (N-word)." However, a spokesperson of Meta stated, "We may place restrictions on accounts that repeatedly break our rules," reported Entertainment Weekly,

He was restricted from Instagram soon after he shared some of his personal chats with Sean Combs. In the text exchange, Combs stated, "I'm trying to talk to you as a black man. And I'm talking to you because this is hurting our people. Stop." To which Kanye replied, "Anything you text, I will post." Combs reportedly asked Kanye to stop wearing the 'White Lives Matter' sweatshirts. Kanye even went on to say, "This ain't a game. Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me." 

Meanwhile, in an interview with Fox News after the show, he said, "I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy. It feels right, hits using a gut instinct, connection with God and just brilliance," said Kanye. He further claimed, “They’re looking for an explanation — as an artist, you don’t have to give an explanation, but as a leader, you do,” he told Tucker Carlson. “So the answer to why I wrote ‘White Lives Matter’ on a shirt is they do. It’s an obvious thing,” Kanye said.
