Celebrities Gigi Hadid, Khloe Kardashian and Hailey Bieber are fighting back against Kanye West after he mocked Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson for criticizing the rapper on his controversial Yeezy runway show for Paris Fashion Week.
West wore a black t-shirt with "White Lives Matter" in bold letters on the back during his latest Yeezy fashion show. Conservative commentator Candace Owens shared a photo of herself wearing a similar t-shirt next to West in his "White Lives Matter" shirt.

Supermodel Hadid fired back in the comments section and called West "a bully and a joke."
"You wish u had a percentage of her intellect," Hadid responded.
"You have no idea haha…. If there's actually a point to any of your s--- she might be the only person that could save u. As if the "honor" of being invited to your show should keep someone from giving their opinion ..? Lol. You're a bully and a joke."
