Kanye West says Black Panther dad was ‘proud’ of White Lives Matter t-shirt
Kanye West has defended his ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt by saying his Black Panther dad “loved it”.
The rapper appeared in a new interview on Piers Morgan: Uncensored to address the controversial moment from Paris Fashion Week.

Ray West joined the Black Panthers in the 1960s to challenge police brutality against the African American community.
