The confrontational rapper just couldn’t sit back and watch West bring an entire race down, he took to social media to encourage the “Stronger” rapper to abandon the race altogether.
“DAM @kanyewest U JUST GOING TO KEEP USING YOUR PLATFORM TO SHIT ON YOUR OWN RACE LIKE THIS THIS SAD N the black people who still support you r even sadder LAST TIME SPEAKING ON THIS #Kanyewestdoesntlikeblackpeople DO US A FAVOR N BLEACH YOUR SKIN ALL WHITE Thanks,” wrote Boosie on Twitter.

He followed up the post with an edited photo of West with bleached skin to look white and captioned it “just do it!” a nod to the famous rapper's drama with Nike over the years.

Boosie’s Followers Agree
The comments and memes began rolling in immediately with many agreeing with Boosie. “LET HIM KNOW,” said one follower. Another agreed, “Boosie The Last One Left,” they claimed. And a favorite in the comments section, “FAAAAAAACTS.”
However, there were some Kanye explainers in the comments trying to educate the masses on what the rapper allegedly really means when he says, “White Lives Matter.”
“HE IS TALKING ABOUT STATUS IN AMERICA. BLACK MEANS YOUR DEAD IN LAW @kanyewest #KANYE IS A BILLIONAIRE ITS ABOUT THE STATUS. DIFFERENT LEVELS WHEN YOU KNOW NOT TO REFER OURSELF AS BLACK MY OPINION,” they shared.
Unfortunately, a comment like this one gets lost in the sea of comments supporting Boosie and hoping that West will just disappear one day.
A Few Celebrities Agree With Boosie
The down south rapper isn’t the only one puzzled by West’s choice. News commentator Jemele Hill tweeted,
“So many folks are trying to excuse Kanye wearing a white lives matter t-shirt as just a troll move or marketing. Maybe it is. But it's a dangerously dumb message to send for someone with his massive platform. I been off dude. But y'all go ahead labeling his foolishness as genius.”

Plus size advocate and model Tess Holliday reposted the photo of the rapper and Candace Owens posing in “White Lives Matter” sweatshirts at his fashion show backstage. She wrote over it, “I don’t want to hear one think piece about mental illness. Not one.”
She went on to write, “You have to be a special kind of cruel and unusual to showcase this sort of violence and vitriol. And to bring Candace Owens? This is intentional and violent and fucking gross.”
The rapper is clearly outraging both celebrities and norms alike. This won’t end well.
