\tKanye West debuted his Yeezy Season 9 collection during a surprise Paris Fashion Week show on Monday evening (Oct. 3), but began trending online when he was seen wearing a long-sleeved shirt with \u201cWhite Lives Matter\u201d emblazoned on the back.<\/p>\n

\tNot only was the rapper-turned-designer wearing the phrase on his shirt, so were some of the models in the show. Ye went on to pose with conservative commentator Candace Owens, in matching \u201cWhite Lives Matter\u201d shirts. <\/p>\n

\n

\tWhile \u201cCan’t Tell Me Nothing\u201d rapper’s reasoning behind wearing the shirt is currently unknown, the racist phrase was widely adopted for years by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThe fiber and integrity our nation was founded on is being unraveled \u2026 [by] homosexuality and [racially] mix[ed] relationships,\u201d the former WLM website used to read before it was taken down, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. \u201cIllegal immigration, healthcare, housing, welfare, employment, education, social security, our children, our veterans and active military and their rights \u2026 are the issues we face as white Americans. The laws and immoral orders the current [Obama] administration are passing are drastically \u2026 targeting everything the white way of life holds dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn response to Ye’s shirt, Twitter users began flooding the platform with disapproval for his insensitive choice, especially given that he is a Black man. See below for reactions, including some from fellow artists including Boosie BadAzz and Jaden Smith.<\/p>\n
