Social media remains in an uproar after Kanye West‘s Yeezy Paris Fashion Week Show on Monday (October 3) saw the controversial rapper unveil a new line of custom tee shirts with the phrase “White Lives Matter” printed on them.
Rocked by fellow celebrities Candace Owens, Selah Marley (daughter of Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley‘s son Rohan), and others, the shirts garnered quite the backlash despite West’s attempt to classify them as “revolutionary art.”
Hours after the GRAMMY winner took to the net to defend the Yeezy tees as a response to the “scam” that was the Black Lives Matter movement (as we reported here), Selah has done the same.
Look inside to see how she’s hitting back at critics.
Taking to Instagram Tuesday night (October 4), Selah shared a statement in response to the backlash she’s received for wearing the White Live Matters apparel.
“The past 24 hours as allowed me to realize that most of yall are stuck in a hive mentality,” she began the post. “You do what the group tells you to do and think what the group tells you to think. Witnessing someone break free from ‘the agenda’ sends you all into such a panic that you will do whatever it takes to force them back into the box that you feel they should exist in.”
Later in the story post she suggested the outrage has bordered on “bullying,” an action she does not intend to tolerate.
“You cannot bully me, manipulate me, or coax me into silence. Nor will you bully me into being who I don’t want to be,” she said. “I don’t care how many tweets you make, DMs you send, or articles you write.”
Concluding that the decision to wear the shirt was done with “deep thought and intention,” Selah suggested she will speak more on the topic at a later time.
Her comments come amid continued criticism for her alignment with West’s ideals – a stark contrast from the messages of Black empowerment her GRAMMY-winning mother and late grandfather proclaimed over their careers and lives.

She’s a dumb little bish. I hope her black ass gets shot by police so she can see her life doesn’t matter to these white folks she’s pandering to.
The real shirts they should be wearing- Negro
That’s what they made you, that’s what you act as
You would’ve be picking their cotton 100%- and now they are still. 2022 Negroes
Only Black people are shooting each other near your broke ghetto ass neighborhood💅🏾
It’s more likely she’s mocking the Black Lives Matter movement than supporting non-blacks.
The Black Lives Matter movement from what I can tell is funded by non-blacks and is using blacks to serve non-black interests. To keep non-Jewish Whites and Blacks hating each other. All Black people get out BLM is a little positive attention for a short while and then it’s quickly forgotten, just like Occupy Wall Street.
This is a more obvious interpretation of White Lives Matter than Adele’s interpretation:
“She’s a dumb little bish. I hope her black ass gets shot by police so she can see her life doesn’t matter to these white folks she’s pandering to.”
She is nothing but a prop. Once the Controversy dies down, no one will GAF about her. And CON-ye will be back crying over p****.
Let them get their 15 minutes on until elections roll around and make them IRRELEVANT.
Great job CONye for helping all these racists expose themselves. Lmao. Looks like your Stupid black trick worked and now you cant go to social media without finding words like n*gger, white stain/trash, cracker, roseanne, wetback, cotton picker, ashy, plantation overseer, snowflake, trailer trash……..and so on and so forth hahahahaha
And this is exactly why Americans are declining physically and mentally. More and more ppl are dying prematurely, mysteriously or from freak accidents. Twitter is rife with HATRED.
Really we’re dissensitized. Its so sickening and disgusting the level of utter ignorance and disrespect on social media and all fueled by one dumb bipolar c unt
What’s even more sad is the same racist ppl on Social media probably have friends of different races.
Thats the true tea. You know its easy writing sh*t behind a little screen, you can even find a loser typing dumb sh*t when in reality they couldnt afford a dog house lmaoo
YASSS! 😂
I’m sure her mama is proud….
Lauryn needs to resume whooping her @$$. That is all!
Thats the true tea. You know its easy writing sh*t behind a little screen, you can even find a loser typing dumb sh*t when in reality they couldnt afford a dog house lmaoo
All of them are n99as- who would’ve been sold, lashed, killed and left only to freedom of the mind from the white Massa.
2022 boffoons. Openly
People will do ANYTHING FOR A MOTHERFUCKING BAG!!!!!
Do it gurl! Go gurl! Whatever your name is 💅🏾 Miss late’s daughter💯 We love ya ❤️
Y’all talking about equality. Why can’t she wearing #White Lives Matter tee? But y’all can wear #Black Lives matter shirt? Use your logic! 💅🏾 Just because she’s Black and that doesn’t mean she can’t support White people. So from my understanding, White people can’t wear #BLM shirt too?
She a whole dummy like her mom! Talkin bout us ..Kanye is literally a cult leader and she following what he’s doing lmaooo
