Kanye West Channels His Grandfather To Hit Back At Diddy For WLM Stance

Kanye Westhas clapped back at Diddy who recently spoke out against the rapper selling “White Lives Matter” gear.
Diddy Isn’t Down With ‘White Lives Matter’
Despite appearing on the Breakfast Club earlier this week and saying he understands where West is going with this WLM attire and calling him a "freethinker", the producer quickly jumped on IG to clarify his statement.
“I am not about to be addressing every last thing that’s going on in the world on the internet, but the thing I do have to address is this ‘white lives matter’ t-shirt, he said in the one-minute video.
“I’ve always been there, and I will always support my brother Kanye as a freethinker. But the ‘white lives matter’ t-shirt, I don’t rock with it, you know what I’m saying? I’m not with it.”
He assured fans that Black Lives Matter, the original trend is not a joke. “Right now, all America has planned for us is poverty, incarceration, and death,” Diddy pointed out.
“So before I can get to any other lives matter – which all lives matter – but that Black Lives Matter, don’t play with it. Don’t wear the shirt. Don’t buy the shirt. Don’t play with the shirt. It’s not a joke.”

Kanye West Feels Attacked
Kanye wasn't impressed, he hopped on IG to slam Diddy for his lack of support and for attempting to take money out of his pocket. “God is Love My brother misspoke to me but I still love him,” West captioned his first set of Instagram posts.
He then proceeded to post a screenshot of the private conversation that took place between him and Diddy who the rapper still has on his phone as “Puff” one of his many names. West tells Diddy that he didn’t like their convo and he will continue to sell his shirts.
“Nobody gets in between me and my money,” he writes “out of respect for everything you’ve meant to I’ll be quiet as Virgil,” he says in another message.

Kanye West Channeled His Grandfather
Well, according to him. In one of the messages, “this is my grandfather text you now” the bizarre messages get increaubgly aggressive. At one point, Ye writes in all caps “N***a F**K YOU, YOU FED,” after Diddy messages him to say "As soon as I land we’ll meet face to face!! Send me a address,” assuming the producer was looking to settle the misunderstanding in person.
Clearly, West isn’t interested. In one of the messages he even taunts Diddy, saying “come do something to me noooow pleeeeeease”.
He went on to tell Diddy, who again pleaded with him for a meetup and friendly talk, “anything you test I will post, I love you, and you guys are breaking my heart, I accept your apology in advance”
Kanye kept that promise.
