  • The "White Lives Matter" shirt he wore earlier this week was addressed in an interview by the man.

  • The rapper said he thought the shirt was funny.

  • The reason I wore 'White Lives Matter' on a shirt is because they do.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, West said that he thought the shirt was funny.

The rapper, now known as Ye, caused a stir online and within his own circle when he wore a shirt at his Paris Fashion Week show.

Someone called me last night and said that anyone wearing a "White Lives Matter" shirt would get greenlit. That means to be beaten up.

West told Carlson that he had a "gut instinct" to wear the shirt.

I do things based on a feeling. He said it felt right. It's using a connection with God and a gut instinct.

In his monologue, West compared his decision to wear the "White Lives Matter" shirt to an ice skater's victory in the Triple A.

West told Carlson that his father sent him a text about the shirt and he thought it was funny.

West said his father told him that it was just a black man.

The reason I wrote "White Lives Matter" on a shirt is because they do. The obvious thing.

Some white supremacist groups have used the phrase as a slogan.

West said that the phrase was controversial because society wanted to separate the Black community.

During the interview, West referred to the Vogue editor and the model who criticized him for wearing the shirt in Paris.

The message of West's choices justifies mass incarceration, murder en mass, and even the advent of slavery.

Hadid called the rapper a "bully and a joke" after he criticized the singer in a now- deleted post.
