Kanye West says White Lives Matter design show idea depended on a ‘feeling’ and a ‘intuition’ – contrasting the trick with Tonya Harding’s ‘brightness’ in turning into the main American lady to land a triple Axel

Kanye West said his ‘White Lives Matter’ fashion show concept that sparked widespread controversy at Paris Fashion Week was based on a ‘feeling’ and ‘gut instinct.’

The rapper compared the stunt to Tonya Harding instinctively landing the first triple Axel jump by an American woman at the 1991 US Figure Skating Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Kanye, who returned to Los Angeles from Paris Fashion Week, explained the concept behind the ‘White Lives Matter’ fashion show concept to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The interview – which aired at 8pm EDT on Fox News – came just days after the 45-year-old rapper created widespread controversy when he sported a ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirt at his YZY fashion show in Paris, which was widely condemned by fans and fashion industry luminaries and led Adidas to put its relationship with him ‘under review.’

‘I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy it feels right. Hits using a gut instinct, connection with god and just brilliance. They asked Tonya Harding how she did the triple flip and she was in so much practice that when it was time for her to skate in a compeтιтive format it just happened. It happened outside of practice that happened in the real format.’

‘That’s what’s happening. God is preparing us for the real battles. We are in a battle with the media.’

Kanye, who arrived at the Los Angeles studio sporting a lanyard he had designed with a pH๏τo of a baby’s ultrasound, also opened up about why he’s pro-life.

‘It just represents life. I’m pro-life,’ Kanye responded when asked about his design. Carlson told him, ‘you wear it like a badge.’

‘I don’t care about people’s responses but I care about the fact that there are more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point,’ Kanye said.

‘That 50 percent of black death in America is abortion. I really don’t care about people’s response to that. I perform for an audience of one and that is God. ‘
