Kanye West is back in headlines this week, after making an appearance at Paris Fashion Week sporting a "White Lives Matter" shirt that immediately drew backlash. On Thursday night, the 45-year-old rapper and fashion designer showed up on Tucker Carlson's Fox program, and he had a lot to say about that hubbub, plus a whole lot more. The second part of their interview is set to air Friday at 8pm ET. Some notable quotes:
- "White Lives Matter" controversy: "The answer to why I wrote 'White Lives Matter' on a shirt is because they do. It's the obvious thing," he told Carlson, per People. Ye also noted that someone had called him the previous night "and said, 'Anybody wearing a White Lives Matter shirt is gonna be greenlit,' and that means that they're gonna beat 'em up if they wear it. And I'm like, 'You know, OK, greenlight me then.'"
