These comments come in the wake of reports that select BLM leaders allegedly used $6 million from donations to acquire a 6,500-square-foot California mansion in 2020. Co-founder Patrisse Cullors who resigned in 2021 amid scrutiny reportedly purchased a $1.4 million Los Angeles home.
Yatchy’s remarks sparked a range of responses – many anchored in critique and others in alignment.


He right. He right. Patrice Cullors is in one of her three mansions munching carpet as we speak, Chile, and in an all white neighborhood too. 💅🏾
