American rapper and fashion icon Kanye West is currently facing criticism on the Internet after he wore a T-shirt with the words "White Lives Matter" during his Yeezy SZN 9 presentation in Paris.
The rapper also claimed that black lives are scams.
The 45-year-old rapper caused a surprise during the Yeezy fashion show at the Paris Fashion Week.
The father of four took the stage in an all-black outfit to give a speech before the live broadcast show began.
However, what caught people's attention was the long-sleeved black shirt that the entrepreneur wore.
Not only did it feature a picture of the Pope on the front, but it also had the words "White Lives Matter" in bold white letters on the back.
Kanye West let people know that he was above it all and couldn't be contained.
"I'm Ye, and everybody here knows I'm the leader. Y'all can't manage me." Said the Yeezy CEO.
He also posted via his Instagram page that Black Lives is a scam.
"Everyone knows Black Lives Matter is a scam, now it's over, you are welcome," he wrote.
At the presentation of West's ninth collection, models also walked the runway in white versions of the "White Lives Matter" shirt.
Candace Owens, a conservative black publicist, was also present at the event and was photographed smiling as she posed next to Kanye in a matching shirt, but in white with bold black lettering.
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), "White Lives Matter" is a "white supremacist term that emerged in early 2015 as a racist response to the Black Lives Matter movement."
Many Twitter users have since complained about the rapper on social media platforms, including Jaden Smith, who tweeted "Black Lives Matter" in response.
