He's running

Kanye West certainly knows how to cause a stir. On Monday, the 45-year-old rapper presented his YZY SZN 9 collection in Paris wearing a black shirt with the slogan "White Lives Matter." The front of the shirt featured the Pope's face.

Several models in the presentation wore various versions of the same design, according to videos posted on social media. Conservative pundit Candace Owens attended the surprise show and wore the same shirt, but in white.

    HE'S 45? I thought the guy was in his 30's. It would somewhat excuse the behavior. Maybe social media has made it more obvious, but so many of these celebrities never grew out of their edgy teenage phase and it's embarrassing to watch. This is like if my 52 year old uncle started doing TikTok dances and calling people "sus" at a barbecue.

      Kanye has been a famous hip hop artist for almost 20 years now, it wouldn't make sense for him to be in his 30s. His most critically acclaimed album was released 12 years ago.

      Most of the 90s and 00s artists are in their 40s or 50s now but still performing. Hip hop isn't just a music genre for young people.
