AceShowbiz - Kanye West has responded to Stephen Jackson after the latter slammed the rapper for his message to Roxie Washington, the mother of George Floyd's daughter. On his Parler account, Ye fired back the former NBA star and urged him to "shut the f**k up."
"My name is Ye Stephen," the "Donda" artist began his post on Monday, October 31. "I gave 2 million to the family Then Roxie threatened to sue me because I gave a different perspective."
He continued, "I been going light actually I got suspended from instagram for 30 days for my truth." Calling himself "a digital prisoner," the ex-husband of Kim Kardashian then warned Stephen, "If you keep talking Ima keep talking If you shut the f**k up I'll leave it alone."
Ye's post arrived after Stephen criticized the Yeezy designer for going off on Roxie. Defending Roxie for filing a $250 million lawsuit against the musician over his false claims on George's murder, Stephen said in the Sunday, October 30 post, "U say stupid s**t u get stupid prizes. U put G name in your mouth speaking false s**t. Self inflicted wounds. Coppin please now them pockets getting hurt."
In his video, the former athlete, who previously called out Ye for saying that Floyd died of fentanyl, put the "Jesus Is King" artist on blast after he slammed the mother of Floyd's daughter for suing him despite his $2 million donation in the wake of Floyd's death. "That's how u know your donation wasn't genuine u don't even know how much u gave them," he said.
Ye previously targeted Roxie in a lengthy post on Sunday. "Now for Roxie Washington and Roxie Washington ALONE. I gave 2 million dollars out of my pocket for the family. To help George's daughter…Your daughter!" he penned. "I can guarantee that most of those that came for me after my comments didn't do what I did! Even those with millions of dollars in the bank! How much did BLM give???? Many gave words. I ACTED. Now because of words you want to sue me for 250 million dollars…."
He continued, "When I'm going through an Economic lynching. A Digital Lynching. A Social Credit Score bankrupting. You're either being controlled or you're being greedy."
After mocking the hat that she was wearing in a picture that he shared on his post, Ye later offered an apology to Floyd's family. "To the Floyd family: I apologized to you and the black community for my comments on Drink Champs," he said, before concluding, "Now Come get Roxie before she mess up all y'all money. The Bible is the umbilical chord…Stay Connected."
