Kanye West shocks fans as he wears White Lives Matter shirt at surprise Yeezy show

Kanye West has faced backlash for his latest fashion show look, after wearing a White Lives Matter shirt at a surprise Yeezy show in Paris on Monday.

The 45-year-old rapper took to the stage to showcase his Season 9 collection and gave a speech while sporting the top, which was emblazoned with the Pope's face on the front. Kanye, who now goes by the name Ye, also wore a pair of bedazzled flip-flops.

"White Lives Matter" was written in bold white letters on the back of the shirt, a response to the Black Lives Matter moment which was started in 2013 following the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
