Kanye West is now feuding with the Biebers after his “White Lives Matter” fiasco at Paris Fashion Week, with Justin and Hailey cutting ties with the rapper, according to TMZ.
It all started when West wore a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt at Paris Fashion week during his own Yeezy show, drawing criticism from Vogue Editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who called the stunt “deeply offensive, violent, and dangerous.”

“GKJ ALL DAY EVERYDAY. My respect for you runs deep my friend!” Hailey Bieber wrote in defence of Karefa-Johnson on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
“To know you is to adore you and to work with you is an honour. the most kind. the most talented. the most fun. the most chic.”
In response, “Ye”, as he is now legally known as, called out the Biebers in a now-deleted post on Instagram, saying, “Wait Am I canceled again??? Justin (Bieber) please let me know.”
He then launched an attack on the Rhode skin founder in another deleted post, claiming, “They want corny ass Gigi Hadid and nose job Hailey Baldloose to rally behind an obvious Corey Gamble level nonfashion industry plant.”

He then posted a 2016 article of Hailey out with rapper Drake on a date on his Instagram stories, telling Justin to “Get your girl before I get mad. You spose to be my friend right.”
West eventually made peace with Karefa-Johnson, posting on Instagram about meeting her privately earlier this week to clear the air, saying that, “WE APOLOGIZED TO EACH OTHER FOR THE WAY WE MADE EACH OTHER FEEL WE ACTUALLY GOT ALONG AND HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED THE FIGHT FOR ACCEPTANCE IN A WORLD THAT’S NOT OUR OWN.”
However, this was the final straw for the Biebers, who have ended their relationship with the fashion designer, according to TMZ.
“Sources close to Justin and Hailey tell us they’re obviously hurt by Kanye’s attacks – especially since they were there for him in 2020 when he was going through a tough time in his life — traveling to Wyoming to visit him at his ranch,” read the TMZ report.
“Our sources say Justin has always been super supportive and sensitive to Kanye’s issues, but this time, he’s gotta distance himself and stand up for his wife.”
