But if there is one thing that Ye, as he prefers to be known, has been able to depend upon it would surely be a generous helping of the benefit of the doubt.
So when West sent “White Lives Matter” t-shirts down the runway at his Yeezy season 9 presentation at Paris fashion week on Tuesday, and later told his 17.9 million Instagram followers that “everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam”, there was a collective intake of breath. Surely, no one could possibly be lining up to defend the indefensible this time?
