Hip-hop artist Kanye West touched on a range of hot-button topics in an Oct. 6 interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” including why he donned a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “White Lives Matter” and revealing he received death threats for his embrace of former President Donald Trump.

The musician, also known as “Ye,” turned heads when during his Yeezy Season 9 collection presentation in Paris, France, on Oct. 3, he wore a T-shirt featuring the words “White Lives Matter.”
