Kanye West Defends ‘White Lives Matter’ Shirt, Slams Kim Kardashian, & Talks ‘Demonic’ Promotion of Lizzo’s Weight with FOX News [Video]

Kanye West is no stranger to rendering controversial comments over his career, but this week’s load of explosive statements may have seen the GRAMMY winner even outdo himself.

Already embroiled in backlash for the unveiling of his Yeezy custom ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirts, the ‘Gold Digger’ star dug the hole deeper when he took to Instagram to double down on the apparel’s purpose – even slamming the Black Lives Matter movement along the way.

Thursday night (October 6), Ye reiterated his stance via an appearance on Fox News’ ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.‘

When not raising eyebrows for his discussion about the shirts, he got people talking for his critiques of Lizzo and the body-positive movement, slamming his ‘Christian’ ex-wife Kim Kardashian, and so much more.

See highlights from the explosive interview inside:

While chatting with Carlson, West went on a tirade about the media and its ‘godless agenda’ by using Lizzo and ‘Vogue’ editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson (who he sparred with earlier this week over his “White Lives Matter” t-shirts) as examples.

“Lizzo works with my trainer, a friend of mine, Harley Pasternak. When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots – that’s a term, it’s like telemarketer callers – on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy,” he’s heard saying in the video above before eventually relaying, “Let’s get aside from the fact whether it’s fashion and Vogue – which it’s not – or if someone thinks it’s attractive, to each his own. It’s actually clinically unhealthy. And for people to promote that, it’s demonic.”

That demonic promotion, West argued, is strategically used against African Americans.

“It’s a genocide of the Black race. They want to kill us in any way they can,” he said.

His critique of African Americans didn’t end there, however.  The polarizing hitmaker also talked about abortion.

“Our people are just supposed to say, ‘Say it loud, I’m Black, and I’m proud.’ Okay, well, what about – do you own the land that you’re living in? Is the contracts even in a language that’s even possibly understandable for your heritage?,” he said at one point in the interview while in another saying, “I don’t care about people’s responses. I care about the fact that there’s more Black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point. That 50 percent of Black death in America is abortion.”

Elsewhere, he set his sights on ex-wife Kim Kardashian, her image, and SKIMS – her shapewear brand.

“Kim is a Christian, but she has people who want her to go to Interview magazine and put her ass out while she’s a 40-something-year-old multi-billionaire with four black children and this is how fashion, how they want to present her,” said the 45-year-old rapper before conveying, “I had a lot of issues with the imagery of SKIMS. I felt like there’s a lot of imagery that was overly sexualized and things I wouldn’t want to see my wife and definitely not my daughters doing in the future in order to sell product. But it reaches another level when it’s like, ‘OK, well this is what my wife is doing. This is what she is doing for our children.'”

That’s not all he said.  From his enduring Trump support to the ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt, see the interview everyone’s talking about below in full.
