Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lauryn Hill's daughter Selah Marley and other models of Kanye West wore 'White Lives Matter hoodie t-shirt. (Read More Here).
Lauryn Hill's daughter Selah Marley is apparently down with Kanye West's "White Lives Matter" movement, as she was recently seen wearing one of Ye's custom WLM shirts.
On Monday (Oct. 3), Kanye West's Yeezy Season 9 Fashion Show took place in Paris. The show has gone viral due to Kanye and several of the models donning "White Lives Matter" shirts. Apparently, one of those models was Lauryn Hill's daughter Selah. She was featured in Ye's fashion show wearing one of the shirts, and later posted a video on her Instagram Story talking to Kanye West while sporting one of the oversized tops.
Kanye West mocks fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson after she criticized him for wearing a ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt alongside Candace Owens.
Selah wasn't the only celebrity spotted sporting one of Ye's custom WLM shirts. Conservative pundit Candace Owens was photographed grinning from ear to ear with Kanye while they wore the garment.
The rapper and designer slammed the global cause on Instagram, where he commands more than 17million followers, after wearing a provocative 'White Lives Matter' sweater at his surprise Yeezy fashion show in Paris on Monday evening.
Opting for white upper-case lettering on a stark black background and addressing followers in past tense, West, 43, wrote: 'Everyone knows Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it's over. You're welcome.'
The outspoken star appeared to be reinforcing a lack of faith in the cause, which has developed a reputation for staging mass street protests regarding the perceived mistreatment of ethnic minorities around the world.
Founded in 2013 following the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in the United States, Black Lives Matter gained global attention after playing a key role in the protests that followed George Floyd's unlawful killing by a white police officer in 2020.
While the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag and slogan serve as reminders that inequality still exists on a global scale, West surprised fans well-versed with his outlandish statements by appearing to make light of it on Monday evening.
Launching an unexpected Yeezy show during Paris Fashion Week, he wore a sweater emblazoned with a White Lives Matter statement while watching his parade of models take to the catwalk in garments bearing the same inflammatory message.
He was joined by divisive right-wing commentator Candace Owens, who beamed while wearing a complementary version of West's sweater.
The Anti-Defamation League has previously called the phrase 'White Lives Matter' a hate slogan.
The slogan worn on West and Owens' shirts has previously been used by the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist organizations as an attack against the Black Lives Matter movement and Black people more broadly.
It is not the first time that West has stoked controversy surrounding race, after saying in 2018 that he thought 400 years of slavery 'was a choice.'
He told TMZ: 'When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned.'
West later apologized for those remarks but also described them as an example of 'free thought.'
In April 2018, he again drew huge criticism when he tweeted: 'I love the way Candace Owens thinks.'
