Kanye West has dragged Justin Bieber into the “White Lives Matter” debate.
Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber’s wife, expressed her support for Vogue contributing editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson earlier this week after she was mocked by Ye for criticizing his controversial YZY SZN 9 runway show.
“I have a lot of respect for you, my friend!” In her Instagram Story, Bieber wrote. “To know you is to adore you, and to work with you is a privilege.” The most considerate, talented, entertaining, and stylish.”

Even though Hailey didn’t address Kanye in her message, Ye was nevertheless outraged by her words. He mockingly called out Hailey’s husband, Justin, while posting a screenshot of an E! News headline describing Hailey and Gigi Hadid’s support for Gabriella.
“Wait Do I need to reapply? Please let me know, Justin,” he wrote.

He continued to make fun of Gabriella’s fashion in a later post, talking about his “paradigm shifting t-shirt” and how it eclipsed everything else at Paris Fashion Week.
His message said, “My shirt pooped on everyone’s shows.” Except for my T-shirt, nothing happened. Remember, the Arnaults who hired anyone who worked for me, my one T-shirt got all the publicity. Because you are all sheep with fu**ing programs. And those boots that Gab was sporting were f**king awful.
Then he brought in John Legend and Justin Bieber to the discussion. John Legend still wants a pair, I’m sure of it. And Justin, get your girl before I lose it,” he continued.
Drake, who intervened by liking Ye’s post regarding Hailey, Gigi Hadid, and Justin, received gentler comments from him.
Everyone is aware of the history of the rivalry between Drake and I, so when he liked one of my posts, Ye remarked, “IT REALLY WARMED MY HEART TO SEE DRAKE LIKE ONE OF MY POST.” “DRAKE MUSIC WILL BE PLAYED AT DONDA GAMES MOVING FORWARD,” the message reads. “WE STILL NEED THE DONDA TEAM TO PLAY NOCTA.”
