Kanye West also is donating $2 million that will help Breonna Taylor's case in addition to efforts for the families of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, West's rep confirmed to USA TODAY.

The rapper appeared in Chicago Thursday night at a “Justice for George Floyd/CPD out of CPS” rally on the city's South Side.

Organizers became frustrated with the disorder. Taylore Norwood, 20, grabbed a megaphone and told the crowd that this Chicago march was a youth-led protest and that she didn't want a “celebrity” hijacking it.Alycia Kamil, 19, and Jalen Kobayashi, 19, co-organized the protest in the city’s Bronzeville neighborhood to call for Chicago to invest in schools, not police. Hundreds turned out, carrying signs that said “black lives matter” and chanting “We are tired.

The shooting has sparked protests across the city and is among three controversial cases of African Americans shot and killed, two by police, that have ignited demonstrations around the world.

He is claiming himself as he is? Already switched sides for Trump?

That’s wonderful. Now he needs to denounce the President.

Okaaaaayyyy

Can we get the number on how much he donated to Trump!?

I wonder what's Kayne been up too. SPM230

Who Freaken cares

Nothing for David Dorn ?

He just confuses liberals to the enth. lol

He’s booted out of African American Civilization.

THEJEDEYE1 Why? If kanyewest supports a racist, he should not try to look good and help a black person, because his support and his vote for realDonaldTrump helps him to continue to divide us, belittle people, spread hate and use his power to be more racist.

sinbadbad That's great

Does West really think throwing a little of his money around will get people to forget he's a loyal and loud Trump supporter?

Black lives matter. ✊🏿 Justice for George Floyd. No justice no peace.

Anyone seen Floyd’s court records? He was a bad dude

sinbadbad I thought he was Superman with the MAGA hat on!? Isn't that what that nut said

sinbadbad I'm glad the Taylor, Arbery & Floyd families will get additional support. I do fear kanye's donation will be a Trojan Horse with strings attached.

I just don’t care about anything West has to say . And the protesters did great rejecting him! Vote!

Well he’s a billionaire. Has he changed his mind on slavery being a choice?

Probably to offset the guilt for the trump donation...

Did he finally turn on Trump?

Kanye needs to go to the White House and advise Trump to meet with congress and pass some new laws to protect us against police brutality, that would be better than donating money

Late 90s Kanye West? is that you? 😍

Question for you: Didn’t you meet with the Washington Village Idiot realDonaldTrump in the Oval Office and praise him? HYPOCRITE!! Keep your money 💰 It has the blood of George Floyd on it 😡kaynewest

Soul singer Sly Stone once said, 'Stand, you've been sitting much too long, there's a permanent crease in your right or wrong'‼️ Kanye, thank you for getting WOKE‼️💞

This offer of blood money from this Trump supporter Kanye west should be refused.

To quote one BH Obama: “Kanye is a jacka**.”

Where you been

What happened to that Dragon Energy?

Where is he been the past 10 years how about with all the killings that have gone on in Chicago where was he at now he shows up

Is Kanye still wearing his MAGA hat?

Is he still a gay fish?

So is he still black?

What?

Use money to salvage his bad reputation.

I thought he was a big Trump supporter?

Buying publicity

Im Sure his rep told him to do this, it will make him look good in the eyes of the public. kanyewest love his Trump

Send it back mfer doesn’t care about black people he is a crazy Trump supporting Uncle Tom

Ladies and gents: Trump’s 2020 running mate.

Blood money

Still supports Trump!

TO ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AROUND THE WORLD 🌎❤️ THANK YOU FOR BRINGING PEACE TO OUR WORLD!
