Kanye West: About pro-life, the media and scandal shirts

After his show at Fashion Week in Paris, where Kanye West (45) presented shirts with the slogan "White Lives Matter", the controversial rapper has now commented on the scandal and other topics in an interview. With his answers on the "Fox News" show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" he brought himself into play with new controversial statements on Thursday evening.

During the interview, Kim Kardashian's (41) ex-husband wore an ultrasound image of a baby as a necklace around his neck. "It represents life and pro-life," explains the rapper. The pro-life movement is primarily directed against abortion. Kanye says he doesn't care what kind of reactions he gets. "What's important to me is the fact that more black babies are being aborted in New York City right now than are being born."

He compares the excitement about his "White Lives Matter" shirts, a slogan that started in right-wing circles in response to the "Black Lives Matter" movement, to the excitement about his support for Donald Trump (76). His friends, his ex-wife, his manager - they all warned him his career, his life would be over if he wore the Make America Great Again cap, according to Kanye. "Last night someone called me and said anyone wearing a 'White Lives Matter' shirt would be eligible for shooting. I think ok, then give me clearance for shooting."

When asked what the shirts mean, Kanye explains, "The reason I put 'White Lives Matter' on a shirt is because they do. It's obvious." In addition, he would have found it funny to wear the slogan as a black man.

He doesn't care about the reactions, according to Kanye. He only works for one audience and that be God. The media, which would have called him crazy, is also a problem for Ye. "We are at war with the media," said the musician. "Most of the media has an ungodly agenda."
