Kanye West claims he has overcome “mind control” amid ongoing uproar over his “White Lives Matter” fashion show stunt. The rapper, 45, made the remark while doubling down on his display of a controversial T-shirt bearing the slogan during his pop-up Paris Fashion Week catwalk show on Tuesday.
He said during a series of social media posts about the fallout from the show: “GOD IS GOOD I’M USED TO ATTACKS FROM HOLLYWOOD ACTORS SO TO GET SUPPORT FOR STANDING MY GROUND IS AMAZING WE BROKE THE MIND CONTROL NOBODY IS TRAUMA DRUNK NO MORE GOD IS FIGHTING THIS BATTLE FOR US.”

You have to be unapologetically black and love your people and love your tribe first. Diddy also admitted he needs “a couple of days to get over” West’s design.

Controversy erupted after Kanye staged a surprise runway show in Paris on Tuesday that saw a choir of children, including the designer’s daughter North, providing the soundtrack to models including Naomi Campbell hitting the catwalk – though Naomi did not wear the ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt.

The top featured a photo of Pope John Paul II on the front and was worn by models on the catwalk and by Ye, as West has rebranded himself, along with the right-wing commentator Candace Owens, a guest at the show. Despite outrage over the T-shirt, Bob Marley’s granddaughter has said she won’t be silenced by critics of her wearing the top with West.
