Kanye West claimed Tuesday that he has no problem with Vogue’s contributing fashion editor despite making fun of her earlier in the day for ridiculing him over his ‘White Lives Matter’ fashion show.
West (45) caused a stir with Monday’s Paris show. Models walked down the catwalk wearing WLM shirts, seen as an outright repudiation for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Jason Lee, West’s spokesperson, quit the show in protest. West wrote an Instagram post saying that West was “gaslighting” black people while empowering white supremacy.
He later posted on his Instagram Story, “Very humbled and grateful to Ye for having the opportunity to work alongside him but that portion of our relationship had come to an end,”
Gabriella Karefa Johnson stated that the T-shirts were “deeply offensive, violent, and dangerous”.
West responded with ridicule, mocking her online outfits and claiming she didn’t understand fashion.
However, Karefa Johnson claimed he was Karefa Johnson’s’sister’ the next day and stated that they had had a 2-hour conversation about the raised issues.

West, Jason Lee and his spokesperson are pictured together in February. Lee stated Tuesday that he wouldn’t work for West in the wake of WLM.
Gabriella Karefa Johnson, a critic of West’s WLM program was attacked later by the rapper
The rapper sang, “GABBY IS MY SISTER”,
‘IM NOT LETTING PEOPLE GO TO BED THINKING I DIDN’T MEET WITH GABRIELLE AT 5 PM TODAY FOR 2 HOURS THEN WE WENT TO DINNER AT FERDIE.’
West stated that Vogue editor Anna Wintour had asked Baz Luhrmann (Australian film director) to film the encounter.
‘IT FELT LIKE HER WAS BEING USED LIKE TEVOR NOAH and OTHER BLACK PEOPLE to SPEAK ON MY EXPRESSION’, said West who was criticized in March by Noah.
Noah took exception to West’s abuse of Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson.
West responded by calling Noah a racist slur and was removed from Instagram.
West on Tuesday said Karefa-Johnson told him she was not being used by Vogue to speak on their behalf, and condemn the WLM t-shirts.
“WE APOLOGIZED TO EACH OTHER OVER THE WAY THAT WE MADE EACH OTHER FEEL, AND HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED AN ACCEPTANCE FIGHT IN A WORLD NOT OUR OWN,” he wrote.
SHE DISAGREED I DISSAGREED WE AVOID.
West was furious Monday night when the powerful stylist stated that he had deeply disturbed her by his show.
She wrote that she was fuming and collecting her thoughts.
She said that she was one of the people who had’suffered’ in that room, and was now working to overcome the ‘trauma’.
West takes aim at Gabriella Karefa Johnson, Vogue’s contributing editor. She called her season 9 collection of YZY offensive’ and ‘violent.

Karefa Johnson shared her disgusting thoughts at the YZY Season 9 Show
Although she says that West tried to make his latest collection interesting, she also said it was a failure spectacularly. Instead, the display turned out to be ‘deeply offensive and violent and dangerous.
Vogue’s contributing editor clarified that West was trying to make sense of her comments with the collection, but she wasn’t excused for it.
Karefa Johnson shared a photograph of Selah Marley at 23. Selah is the granddaughter of Bob Marley and daughter of Lauryn Hill. The shirt featured a Pope John Paul II picture on it.
Ye’s final message in response to a series targeted attacks against Karefa-Johnson
West replied by posting a photo of Karefa Johnson wearing an ensemble and commenting: “This isn’t a fashion person. You speak on Ye Ima. Ask Trevor Noah.”
The jab was apparently making reference to Noah speaking out about West’s public behavior, calling it ‘terrifying to watch.’
West zoomed in then on Karefa Johnson’s boots. They appear to be limited edition Timberland boots.
West claimed Anna Wintour would disagree, writing: I KNOOOOOOW ANNA HAAAATES THOSE BOOTS.
He uploaded a photo of Karefa Johnson’s Instagram profile. The caption read: ‘Broke processor. When the computer doesn’t understand the code. This is a Droid.
His posts were concluded by him sharing text “This means War” across a dark post.
West deleted and posted a lot of messages since the YZY Season 9 Paris Show on Monday. [sic].
Candace Owens, a right-wing personality from the Right, was also present at controversial YZY’s season 9 broadcast.
West is not surprised to be seen with Owens. Kim Kardashian called Owens ex-wife a prostitute on her Daily Wire program.

…. If there’s actually a point to any of your sh*t she might be the only person that could save u. You think the “honot” of getting invited to your show shouldn’t stop someone giving their opinion? Lol. She added, “You’re a bully.
Hadid and Karefa Johnson have previously worked together. The stylist told ELLE earlier in the year that they share a ‘true friend’ and have a ‘deep respect for each other’.
Jodie Turner Smith (actress) also attacked Kanye’s new tirade. Jodie shared on Instagram Story, “I thought that he claimed he was trying people to come together?” Fake, disgusting, and embarrassing. Please touch the grass. Stop sharing your poisonous thoughts.
Vogue defend Karefa Johnson Tuesday
Gabriella Karefa Johnson is the global fashion editor and long-term contributor to Vogue. Her bullying and personal harassment was brutal. “It is unacceptable,” the magazine stated in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
“Now, more than ever voices like hers need to be heard and she spoke out in private with Ye today, telling her story in the way that she feels best.
Lee only started to work for West in spring and said he was unable to support his boss.
‘I love Ye, as a human being. I also support freedom speech. However, this is empowering white supremacy by gaslighting and demeaning black people. Lee said that he doesn’t know if Lee has any friends, but it is deeply disappointing.
I’m going for free speech. It just speaks to the need for validation from white people when they do these things.
He condemned West’s invitation for Owens.
“Not to be forgotten, Candace Owens was added to the photo.
“I can understand that he supports her right to free speech, but her speech is often embedded in hate and a desire to support white supremacy. She lacks integrity.
“This is very sad.”
