Kanye “Ye” West attacked the family of George Floyd on Sunday shortly after saying he wanted to “apologize” for false statements he has made about Floyd’s death.
In an Instagram post, the rapper lashed out against Roxie Washington — the mother of Floyd’s daughter — after she moved to file a $250 million lawsuit over his recent remarks about the police brutality victim. West’s post has since been deleted.
In June 2020, West, who now goes by “Ye,” reportedly donated $2 million to the Floyd family. He also reportedly launched a college savings fund for Floyd and Washington’s young daughter, Gianna, after police officer Derek Chauvin killed Floyd by pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly nine-and-a-half minutes.
