Jason Lee Won’t Work with Kanye West Over “White Lives Matter” T-Shirt

Jason Lee claims he will no longer work with Kanye West and cuts all professional ties.

Lee left his position as head of media and partnerships for the Yeezy fashion designer after West wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt to his fashion show on Monday.

Instead, Lee, 45, will focus on launching his own talk show.

“Very humble and thankful to Ye for the opportunity to work with him but that part of our relationship has come to an end,” he later wrote on his Instagram Story.

In a separate post on Instagram, Lee shared the now-viral video of West and Owens wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts, writing, “Kanye is gaslighting black people.”

“I love Ye as a person, and I support free speech. But this is gaslighting black people and empowering white supremacy. Not sure if he has any friends left to tell him but this is utterly disappointing,” Lee also said in his caption. “I’m going to exercise free speech and say, nobody black has ever said that white lives don’t matter. But when black people do this it just screams the need for white validation.”

“Adding Candace Owens to this photo is beyond reprehensible,” he wrote. “I understand he believes in her right to free speech but her speech is typically embedded in self hate, a determination to promote white supremacy, and she lacks integrity. “This is sad.”

West didn’t seem to hurt or concerned with Lee’s comments. West doubled down Tuesday morning, calling “Black Lives Matter” a pure scam.

“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam now it’s over you’re welcome,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
