Boosie Badazz and Puff Diddy react to the White Lives Matter controversy

Kanye West was criticized for wearing a T-shirt that featured the words 'White Lives Matter' at an event.

Boosie Badazz responded by posting a tweet that stated,

“@kanyewest After all we been through as a race you put this disrespectful s**t on!! U gives no f***s 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***a.’”

Puff Diddy, on the other hand, requested that the public not condemn Ye or cancel him, but described the T-shirts as very tone-deaf. He added:

“[‘Black Lives Matter’] was our slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with nobody else … Because right now, we’re the ones that are dying, that are incarcerated, that are left in poverty.”

Puff stated that an individual must be unapologetically black and love their people, and that their tribe should be their first priority. However, things changed when he disapproved of the T-shirts in an Instagram video, stating that although he has always supported Ye, he asked everyone not to wear, purchase or play with the shirt, adding that it is not a joke.
