In early October, rapper Kanye West was at the center of a new scandal.
At Paris Fashion Week, he wore a long-sleeved shirt that read “White Lives Matter” (“White Lives Matter”). This is how Yeezy presented her new clothing collection.
For referenceBlack Lives Matter activists believe they are extremists who disagree with them, and companies that collaborate with human creators are racist.
But that’s not all.
October 5: West made a provocative post on Instagram (approx. owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist in Russia), which reads: “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam, but it’s over. Don’t thank.” A few hours later, the rapper deleted this post, but everyone managed to see it.
October 9: The rapper was blocked on Instagram and Twitter for posting it. Social networks prohibit meeting various posts that incite hatred.
17 October: Donald Trump-linked Parler announces sale to West.
“The proposed role of acquiring collateral from Parler will play a role in maintaining an intact ecosystem where all opinions are welcome,” Parler said.
October 18: In an interview with TV presenter Chris Cuomo, he blamed the “underground Jewish media mafia” that “attacked him” after he wore a White Lives Matter T-shirt and “cancelled concerts at Sofay Stadium” in Inglewood, USA.
More than half of the owners of Hollywood are Jews. And they know each other. Every celebrity in the contract has the names of justice – and this is not an incitement of responsibility, but the pure truth. And these people, if you say something wrong, can ruin your property.

Large companies do not allow themselves to wait long.
