Kanye West has been blasted by designer Tremaine Emory after Ye blamed LVMH boss Bernard Arnault for the death of his late “best friend” Virgil Abloh.
Emory took to Instagram on Tuesday (October 4) to expose parts of Kanye’s alleged deteriorating friendship with Virgil during his final months.
“I gotta draw the line at you using Virgil’s death in your ‘ye’ is the victim campaign in front your sycophant peanut algorithm gallery,” the Denim Tears designer began in his scathing post.
He went on to call out Yeezy for not being invited to Virgil Abloh’s funeral and trashing his designs behind his back.
“Your best friend Virgil, NEGRO PLEASE,” Emory said, “this time last year you said Virgil’s designs are a disgrace to the black community infont of all your employees at yeezy -ASK LUCETTE HOLLAND…I GOT ALL THE “RECEIPTS” ( don’t let me get into the things you said about v after his death).
“Ye tell the ppl why you didn’t get invited to Virgil’s actual funeral the one before the public one at the museum. You knew Virgil had terminal cancer and you rode on him in group chats, at yeezy, interviews…YOU ARE SO BROKEN. KEEP VIRGIL NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH…KEEP @gabriellak_j NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH…Your not a victim your just an insecure narcissist that’s dying for validation from the fashion world…take care…at least we’ll always have ‘UGANDA’”
The Supreme creative designer’s post struck a chord with his followers as many left a note of approval in his comment section including IBN Jasper, who came up with Kanye in Chicago as his barber, Ye’s ex-girlfriend Julia Fox, jeweler Ben Baller and more.
Model Gigi Hadid took things a step further and went after Kanye by labeling him a “bully” and a “joke” for his remarks and harsh posts targeting Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who was critical of his YZY SZN 9 show on Monday (October 3).
“You wish u had a percentage of her intellect,” she wrote. “You have no idea haha… If there’s actually a point to any of your shit she might be the only person that could save u. As if the ‘honor’ of being invited to your show could keep someone from giving their opinion? .. Lol. you’re a bully and a joke.”
Much of the outrage has come in response to Kanye’s YZY SZN 9 fashion show in Paris earlier this week, where he donned a long sleeve shirt that was part of the collection emblazoned with “White Lives Matter” across the back.
The “White Lives Matter” slogan has historically been uttered by white supremacists and critics of the Black Lives Matter movement, with the Anti-Defamation League going so far as to categorize the phrase as a hate slogan, so needless to say the shirt has had a polarizing effect online.
Boosie Badazz also took issue with Ye’s new tee, saying that the rapper/producer is being “disrespectful” to his own people.
Kanye West Responds To 'White Lives Matter' Outrage, Calls Black Lives Matter A 'Scam'
“@kanyewest AFTER ALL WE BEEN THROUGH AS A RACE YOU PUT THIS DISRESPECTFUL SHIT ON!! U GIVES NO FUCKS ABOUT HOW BLACKS HAVE DIED N SUFFERED TO THE HANDS OF THE WHITE MAN N U SAY BUSH DON’T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE…REALLY N-GGA” Boosie wrote on Twitter.
Ye’s choice of political apparel comes as no surprise considering his penchant for controversy these past few years. He notably sided with Former President Donald Trump in 2018 and drew significant backlash for wearing a Make America Great Again cap and claiming American slavery had been a “choice” for Black people.
Kanye West’s YZY Season 9 fashion show arrived after the Yeezy mogul made his own runway debut as a Balenciaga model for the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection on Saturday (October 1). The rapper opened the show, walking down a saturated and muddy runway at the Parc des Expositions.
Will there ever be a point where we stop giving Kanye the benefit of the doubt with all the outrageous things he says? It feels like it doesn’t matter what comes out of his mouth people will ride with him.
well if the guy had terminal cancer and didn’t tell anybody that might be a reason his designs went downhill and ye stopped repping him, from what we understand Virgil Abloh didn’t tell anyone about his condition until he was on his deathbed. so i think dude who had something to say better get some beats together maybe book studio time because ye is not the dude to play with online. he will light you up on his next record and that’s it -you’re done
The fuck? He had cancer. It’s medical diagnosis. It’s not to be shared. He was dying and wanted to keep it close to home. And Kanye is bitch. He is no battle rapper. He puts out hot garbage these days and is easily someone to play with online. Get his dick out of you lips. Dick rider.
so that means ye didn’t know dude had cancer when he was criticizing his designs and saying he was selling folks out. you online people get so mad when holes get blown through some story. This clown tremaine never made a record. He designs fucking t shirts got ye name in his mouth. fuck a designer he’s a professional weirdo that’s all these streetwear “designers” are fucking muppets. I’ll take the rapper designer over this flake any day
to think you took the time to write that BS while sucking Ye balls is really impressive, take 1 dollar for the effort bitch.
ye supposed to be a mind reader? if Drake next record sucks are we all supposed to send flowers and condolences just in case he has terminal cancer? this tremaine clown quick to clout chase got everybody name in his mouth didn’t stop to think the obvious -ye didn’t know Virgil had cancer. Ye was responsible for Virgil career without Ye he would never even have been in the fashion world probably would be some engineer in Chicago
call me bitch – if i see who wrote this I’ll will beat those words out of you in blood. i will beat the bitch out of you so you respect game. that is all. fashion loving cock sucker. you’re dog spit – nothing to nobody so respect your betters
yeah bish, fight me, lol, wdf you talking about typing all fury in your ye’s pijamas
What a fragile, broken, narcissistic person this guy is. I don’t why people idolize him the way they do. Homie is a straight up clown who is all emotion with very little logic and seeks validation from the weirdest places.
I love Kanye but it’s clear people are getting tired of putting up with his shit. Again, huge fan (donda was ill I don’t care what any of you dudes say) but he is exhausting. He’s still a legend, and I am on his side most of the time. It also isn’t too weird to realize how much you love and miss someone after they die. Ye has a history of beefing with the people who care about him and maybe when Virgil died he realized it was over. The problem is he is always pulling shit so we can’t trust what he says in public, we don’t know his true feelings because it could all be a show. Either way, great artist but a troubled person.
YOU LOVING KANYE IS A BIG PROBLEM.
KANYE WAS JEALOUS OF VIRGIL. VIRGIL WAS UNDER KANYE AT ONE POINT AND WAS ABLE TO EXCEED KANYE SUCCESS IN THE FASHION WORLD EVEN POST MORTEM. PURE ENVY.
you clowns are idiots. the guy 500 milion in the bank doing whatever fashion show. Virgil Abloh is dead. so you might want to check the scoreboard moron
YOU AN AKADEMIKS TYPE DUDE. YOU REALLY THINK YE HAS THE CLOUT VIRGIL HAD WITH OFF WHITE? YOU MUST BE WAY OUT OF TOUCH WITH FASHION. STICK TO WRANGLER AND LEVIS! LMAO
Kanye been made this genius in his own mind by the media. All the praises he got during his first albums made him think he’s God send walking the green field of the earth. He feels that he can’t do no wrong in anything he might get into, and if he fails, it’s the world’s fault. Kanye been a retard for years.
His fans are the most annoying dickriders you’ll ever meet. Anything he says or does, they’ll call him a genius
FB ye
i would get more security.
Ye is just another has-been fat old man that was never really all that much more than a shell company for a whole lot smarter hustlers. Dude is a sad ice cream eating loser, probably spends most of his time at the kids academy ponzi scheme that he runs watching porn and pretending like his life hasn’t fallen apart. Dude is pathetic. and fat. and old. and untalented. and so so so mf dumb that it hurts my feelings. Not one of his sentences or declarations makes sense. He is just a retard
Ice cream eating? What kind of an insult is that you muppet?! And yeah, dude is flailing madly, but he is definitely talented. Considerably more than you or me I bet.
I like how Ye is burning all bridges on his way up. When his time comes it’ll be a free fall.
