“Kanye” has been trending on Monday after images of the WLM shirts went viral, with many people upset over the stunt.
According to Page Six, Ye addressed the audience before the models debuted the collection.
He discussed his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s terrifying 2016 Paris robbery, his struggles breaking into the fashion industry, his feud with Gap, and his fallout with his former manager Scooter Braun.

The reasoning behind Ye’s decision to wear the “White Lives Matter” shirt is currently unknown.
Neo-Nazi and white supremacist organisations frequently used the racist expression in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization’s official website, which has since been taken down, was “dedicated to promotion of the white race and taking positive action as a united voice against issues facing our race.”
