Kanye West made a surprise appearance at Ye's show in Paris, France, on Monday, October 3 — but he pissed people off in the process when he wore a "White Lives Matter" T-shirt to the event.
During the event, the controversial star, who wore a long-sleeve shirt and shiny flip-flops, talked to the crowd about a slew of topics, including Kim Kardashian's 2016 Paris robbery, his former manager Scooter Braun and addressed his fallout with Gap.
“I am Ye, and everyone here knows that I am the leader,” he told the crowd, Radar reported. “You can’t manage me.”

West also gave a shout-out to his ex Irina Shayk, in addition to Naomi Campbell, and Anna Wintour.
Naturally, social media was less than pleased with the rapper.
One person wrote, "Kanye is an [expletive] and nobody to take seriously. He is trying to live out his fantasy of being a republican white man means he no longer holds a voice for us and we treat him as such. Nobody is going to see anything differently, white lives matter is a racist rebuttal to BLM..." while another added, "This man Kanye is wearing a white lives matter shirt I can’t defend him on this one, he needs to face the consequences for this one."

"Why tf would you have a Black woman wearing a tee that says 'WHITE LIVES MATTER,'" a third person fumed. "You’re being contrarian, and doing it to provoke & aggravate; not to be artistic and creative."
"Idk about that White Lives Matter gear bruh don’t know what y’all were thinking on that one," a fourth person chimed in.
But some social media users defended West, 45. "IF KANYE SAYS WHITE LIVES MATTER THEN I SAY WHITE LIVES MATTER," one fan exclaimed, while a second person added, "Running to get my white lives matter shirt."
