Additionally, he criticized social media for discouraging the Grammy-winning singer to not lose weight.
The 45-year-old singer stated, ‘When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it. The bots … attack her for losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal. When it’s actually unhealthy.’
Moreover, he continued, ‘If someone thinks it’s attractive, to each his own. It’s actually clinically unhealthy. And for people to promote that, it’s demonic.’
Regardless, Carlson then asked West to elaborate on his stance on the body acceptance movement.
The rap mogul replied by saying, ‘It’s genocide of the Black race. They want to kill us in any way they can. Planned Parenthood was made by Margaret S*****, a known eugenist, with the KKK.’
Kanye West talks about his White Lives Matter shirt
Kanye West discussed his controversial White Lives Matter outfit with Carlson Tucker in their latest episode.
He said, ‘I thought the shirt was a funny shirt. I thought that the idea of me wearing it was funny.’
The fashion designer made head turns when he wore a ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt earlier this week in Paris. Many celebrities including Gigi Hadid have publicly condemned his action.
Subsequently, the father of four spoke about the criticism he received for wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat during the 2016 election.
West mentioned, ‘My so-called friends-slash-handlers around me told me if I said that I liked Trump that my career would be over, that my life would be over.’
He added, ‘They said stuff like, “People get killed for wearing a hat like that.” They threatened my life. They basically said that I would be killed for wearing the hat.’
