(The Hill) – Rapper and fashion designer Ye and conservative US political commentator Candace Owens made headlines with matching White Lives Matter t-shirts at Paris Fashion Week on Monday.
The duo, who are both black, wore the controversial shirts during a surprise runway show for Yeezy, the brand owned by Ye formerly known as Kanye West.
Owens communicated photos, showing images of the late Pope John Paul II on the front of their shirts, to their social media accounts.
The political talk show host Candace also shared a comment from another Instagram user, who wrote, “She challenges the narrative being stuffed down our throats.”
Ye and Owens have previously teamed up for political statements in the fashion industry, including in 2018 when he designed ‘Blexit’ t-shirts for Owens. The shirts were intended to encourage black people to leave the Democratic Party.
The “White Lives Matter” t-shirts are the latest political stunt for Ye, who launched a failed 2020 White House bid. Last month he suggested he would return for another run in the future.
“Yes, absolutely,” he replied when asked by Good Morning America’s Linsey Davis if he had any future political ambitions.
