===White Lives Matter shirt===
On October 3, 2022 Kanye West wore a shirt featuring a text saying "White Lives Matter" during a fashion show of Yeezy SZN 9 in Paris. The controversial nature of the shirt caused an uproar in social media and news outlets, as the phrase has been often used in opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 and since.
 
Kanye took it to Instagram to explain his reasoning behind the shirt. He wanted to both make a case that "All lives matter", as he believed the BLM movement was unjustly focused solely upon itself, not realizing the system is fixed not only against black people, but against all people. Other then that, Kanye stated "Everyone know that Black Lives Matter was a scam now it's over you're welcome". All of this resulted in Kanye having an interview with [[Tucker Carlson]], in which he further talked about his statement. Furthermore, he quite clearly proved himself in it as a compassionate, honest and insightful man, who cares a lot about the black community - for example, one of the most popular clips from the interview is when Tucker asks "Why do you think the statement All Lives Matter, if God intended them all to matter, would be deemed as controversial?", Kanye responds "Because the same people that have stripped us of our identity and labeled us a color have told us what it means to be black.". Earlier, he talks about statistics that claim in New York half of black children get aborted.
===Allegations of anti-semitism===
Following the shirt controversy, Kanye had caught a lot of attention not only from internet commentators, but also from either people closely associated to him or from potentially dangerous parties. In the Tucker Carlson interview Kanye says "I had someone call me last night and said, ‘Anybody wearing a ‘White Lives Matter shirt is going to be green-lit.’ That means they are going to beat them up if they wear it.".

In the conversation, Diddy asks Kanye for his address so the two can talk in person about the shirt, however Kanye responded with "Nigga fuuuuuck you. You fed".

Ye, born Kanye Omari West[1] is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. Known for his many controversies regarding politics, religion or beefs with celebrities, Ye is one of the more polarizing people currently in show business.

Controversies

Even though Kanye's musical output itself exhibits his confidence and assertiveness to following the general opinion quite clearly, Kanye has often sparked controversies outside of his lyrics, ever since the dawn of his career.

George Bush Comment

In 2005, Kanye West appeared on NBC for a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims. When asked to read a script for a live camera, Kanye deviated and instead said "George Bush doesn't care about black people".[2] His intent was to criticize the way black victims of the hurricane were treated by both the media and the government. Bush called this comment "one of the most disgusting moments of his presidency."[3]

VMAs

In 2009, during MTV Video Music Awards Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's speech after she received a reward for Best Female Video. Intoxicated, he entered the stage, took Swift's microphone and said that Beyoncé has "one of the best videos of all time".

White Lives Matter shirt

On October 3, 2022 Kanye West wore a shirt featuring a text saying "White Lives Matter" during a fashion show of Yeezy SZN 9 in Paris. The controversial nature of the shirt caused an uproar in social media and news outlets, as the phrase has been often used in opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 and since.

Kanye took it to Instagram to explain his reasoning behind the shirt. He wanted to both make a case that "All lives matter", as he believed the BLM movement was unjustly focused solely upon itself, not realizing the system is fixed not only against black people, but against all people. Other then that, Kanye stated "Everyone know that Black Lives Matter was a scam now it's over you're welcome". All of this resulted in Kanye having an interview with Tucker Carlson, in which he further talked about his statement. Furthermore, he quite clearly proved himself in it as a compassionate, honest and insightful man, who cares a lot about the black community - for example, one of the most popular clips from the interview is when Tucker asks "Why do you think the statement All Lives Matter, if God intended them all to matter, would be deemed as controversial?", Kanye responds "Because the same people that have stripped us of our identity and labeled us a color have told us what it means to be black.". Earlier, he talks about statistics that claim in New York half of black children get aborted.

Allegations of anti-semitism

Following the shirt controversy, Kanye had caught a lot of attention not only from internet commentators, but also from either people closely associated to him or from potentially dangerous parties. In the Tucker Carlson interview Kanye says "I had someone call me last night and said, ‘Anybody wearing a ‘White Lives Matter shirt is going to be green-lit.’ That means they are going to beat them up if they wear it.".

On October 7 Kanye shared on Instagram his since deleted conversation with Puff Daddy, also known as Diddy. In the conversation, Diddy asks Kanye for his address so the two can talk in person about the shirt, however Kanye responded with "Nigga fuuuuuck you. You fed". Later, Kanye texted "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. I told you this was war. Now gone get you some business".[4] Kanye's Instagram account was locked for saying this.

On October 8, Kanye posted a tweet saying "I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3      On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also    You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda"[5]. His Twitter account was locked for this as well. Mistaking the pronunciation of "DEFCON" as "death con", Kanye meant to show his readiness to combat whatever actions are taken against or claims are thrown at him by Jewish controlled media and social media. Unfortunately, this tweet was picked up by actual Nazis and 4chan trolls, who, in collaboration of media which wanted to paint him as such, presented a picture of Kanye as an alt-right, anti-semitic "our guy", even though Kanye himself claimed he has no ill will against Jewish people, but rather tried to point the amount of Jewish people in control of so called fourth estate and in handling of well known celebrities.

After taken down from two places he had the biggest following on, Kanye tried to find a place where he could speak out. On October 17 he acquired Parler, an alt-tech social media platform renowned for it's freedom of speech policies. However, before that he took part in multitude of interviews, which often got clipped and shipped to Twitter. One of the most popular interview (partly due to the length and plethora of issues mentioned, partly due to the fact it got banned which was Kanye point in the interview itself) was the three-hours long one on Drink Champs, where the interviewers and interviewee drink alcohol and casually talk.[6]

Harley Pasternak

One of the more interesting of recent developments of Kanye v. Media war are the posts, in which Kanye exposed to the light of day the person of Harley Pasternak - a Canadian personal trainer.

Play date with the kids just won't be the same". While posting the screenshot of this message, Kanye said "So I will say this again - I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity".[7]
