.KanyeWest has launched a college fund for George Floyd's daughter, Gianna, and has pledged to cover legal costs for the families of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.

Said Ellison at a press conference on Wednesday: “George Floyd mattered. He was loved. His family was important. His life had value, and we will seek justice for him and for you, and we will find it.”Thao was seen on video watching as Chauvin held Floyd to the ground with his knee. Floyd was seen complaining that he could not breathe, and bystanders urged the officers to come to his aid, without avail.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office ruled the death a homicide, though it differed with an independent autopsy performed on behalf of the Floyd family in its conclusion on the precise cause of death. The family autopsy concluded that Floyd died of asphyxiation, while the coroner’s report indicated it was the result of the police restraint in combination with underlying medical conditions and intoxication.

BlckBettyBrmbl1 kanyewest I don’t think he should.. he def doesn’t have to... He’s really that great of a man. Respect

kanyewest GREAT MAN.... A REAL MAN WHO DOES NOT WAIVER FOR POLITICS... KAYNE GET BEHIND STOPPING THE LOOTERS THE DEMS ONLY CARE ABOUT DESTROYING TRUMP...THEY COULD GIVE A FCK... ABOUT THE COUNTRY... FAKE PEEPS WITH ONE AGENDA

kanyewest Kanye knows education is the source of freedom and the root of change.

kanyewest I hope he spares some money for the family of Police Chief Dorn murdered by looters.

kanyewest He also launched Candace Owens, so maybe it evens out?

kanyewest So one million buys you an ambassadorship and two million buys you a pass for all the sycophant work for Trump. Gotcha.

kanyewest Kanye that is wonderful. The educational money is better spent now. Education is a process that requires support, discipline and value. The foundation must be started at an early age.

kanyewest kanyewest is guilty that he is best mate with realDonaldTrump this is blood money

kanyewest He neee to donate much more because he is part of the problem... Trump supporter... choose a side Kayne. Trump or your Brothers and Sisters.

kanyewest

kanyewest Hope KanyeWest is off the drugs. Did the extortions stop? Putin-Mogelivich russian mob money help finance Trump, netanyahu, Kardashians, Jenners, Robert Mercer (Renaissance Tech, Cambridge Analytica), Zuckerberg Facebook, Peter Thiel (PayPal, Palantir), Dorsey Twitter⁉️

Britpoptarts kanyewest and vote for Trump so....

kanyewest

kanyewest While I commend Kanye for lending his money and his voice to the cause of Black Lives Matter, I cant help wondering his thoughts about Trump & MAGA right about now...

kanyewest Took him long enough.

kanyewest He a trump supporter. He only did this to get ahead of the backlash adidas is facing right now for being called out as a racist company by its employees. He ain’t donate all week until the whole adidas backlash started. Pay attention people don’t be sheep’s.

kanyewest Utoh...that definitely gonna piss off white daddy Trump.

kanyewest Thankle heavenly Father for I Jesus Christ and my friend Bayo Mafimisebi specialist in diagnostic imaging of God. The GLORY of God Kanye West.8. I Christ Jesus APATA ADEWALE NATHANIEL the sunshine Justin Bieber.0147.God's Technology in Air Transport in heaven.IATA Area 123.

kanyewest Hello to all you elitist singers, songwriters, producers put up or shut up. Thank you Kanye

kanyewest Yeah but it's Kanye. Fuck Kanye.

kanyewest Kanye West is a class act. Contrary to what the liberals would tell you, one can support Pres Trump and justice for unjust killings of innocent black men. They're not mutually exclusive.

kanyewest ❤️ I try not to follow anyone that doesn’t “spark” some good feeling & this is AMAZING! What is the point of all this $$$ if you can’t do something good w it & show the unfair imbalance is so institutions we have (edu/healthcare/legal) meant for all!! ✌🏻❤️✌🏿

kanyewest You mean he was able to truly make a difference in those peoples' memories without rioting, looting and destroying livelihoods of people in the community?

kanyewest Good. Now give George Floyd‘s son a scholarship as well.

kanyewest Big deal...he’s a Trumper

kanyewest Does he still support Donald Trump? Thats the question!

kanyewest This doesn’t rehab Kanye and Kim’s support for Trump. It’s a publicity stunt.

kanyewest

SlyMagellen kanyewest Time for Kanye and wife to redeem themselves from supporting massive criminals Trumps and Republicans!!! Retweet

kanyewest State overrides federal law. This means local and state officials have more power over your community than the president. WakeUpAmerica

kanyewest

kanyewest Guess he finally remembered America ain't so great to Black folks. Them reminder calls be a bitch sometimes. I guess getting killed by cops ain't a 'choice'.

kanyewest He’s playing both sides

kanyewest A trick ster among us

kanyewest I acknowledge, great gesture....still out of my books! Hope this is a moment of reflection for many of us and the many Kanye-s out there.

kanyewest RunTheJewels did a much better job. Kanye just wants attention and redemption for his redhattery.

kanyewest He is saying I’ll support the families but is willing to support Trump who has not condemned the attacks on the black community. Kanye is still selling out the country for Trump. Has he said he no longer supports Trump? Otherwise this is a payoff and PT stunt.

kanyewest That is nice, but Arbery and Taylor are suing under 42 usc 1983 by attorneys who will be paid out of the litigation, so they don't need legal financial help. West supports Trump. Far more fundamental he denounce Trump, who is advocating police violence, then these other things.

kanyewest He is still a racist SOB. Let’s not forget his kiss assign when he visited the White House. Can’t buy me

kanyewest why does one advertise his giving? why? what if he did it in silence bc of compassion?

kanyewest Try philanthropy without advertising it, otherwise it's just for good PR.

kanyewest He doesn’t care. Just throwing money to protect his brand. He’s a Trump-guy.

kanyewest He should burn that MAGA hat.

kanyewest ✊🏽💪🏽💯🌍

kanyewest Does everyone forget that he loves Racist Trump? I don’t!! Thanks for the 2 million for a good cause (trying to save career, I assume)- now BUG OFF!!

MeTaLMaideN8 kanyewest Any gesture like this is a welcome gesture. It’s when you attach your own perceived motives behind the gesture that becomes the issue.

kanyewest That's called an epiphany.

kanyewest 💙💙

kanyewest Nice publicity stunt. I hope the effort isn’t wasted.

kanyewest Yeah say something negative about kaynewest now! Dare ya! Excellent kaynewest! Your Mom is proud of you! I am too 😷🎼🎤🎭✌️❤️

kanyewest 🙏🏾

kanyewest He finally remembers he's black. Good news

kanyewest He needs to DENOUNCE Trump. Money doesn’t fix everything. The MAGA folks think he’s the ticket to black votes. Is he? He’s gotta speak against it.

kanyewest It looks like the old Kanye is back.

kanyewest Funny after three days of where is he in all this.

kanyewest Why is he 'speaking' through a representative Why isn't he standing with his boy Trump?

kanyewest Supports trump and says “slavery is a choice”

kanyewest I miss the old Kanye

kanyewest kanyewest finally doing something productive instead of being up realDonaldTrump POTUS ass...

kanyewest BRAVO, but he needs to also denounce the racist-in-chief. Helping the families financially does not erase the fact that he has praised & support a horrible man who is doing nothing to help or make better, but in fact is making worse. MAGA my ass!

kanyewest Well done! I’m proud of you young man! Now please don’t vote for that horrible man 🙏🏼

kanyewest So now he wants to help black people?

kanyewest That’s nice, but they will be no redemption, not anytime soon.

kanyewest ... Everyone has to learn ... I think Kane West has learned ... Donald Trump and his Crew are Demons ... Hitler's legacy ‼️ Hitler left bad marks. The bad legacy have to be stopped ‼️ GeorgeFloydWasMurdered GeorgeFlyod

kanyewest Do you still believe Trump is sane?

kanyewest Those jumping on folks for talking about Kanye's support for Trump, not everyone is aware of K's 'ruse', esp since K was all over TV 'feigning' support, saying slavery was a choice (btw was that for Trump?), etc. Calling ppl names just lessens the value of your statements.

kanyewest Thank you Man; you make me proud!

kanyewest Too bad he’s buddy buddy with Trump

kanyewest Like we are supposed to forget that he supports that fascist pig.

kanyewest Ok wow

JuniorKwasi_ kanyewest That’s so amazing. However, FUCK THAT TRASH COON ASS NIGGA FOREVER. ✨

kanyewest he is back on his meds

KeSonwa kanyewest ♥️♥️ 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️

kanyewest You will get lots of well deserved thanks for helping out the family that desperately need help. Will you be reaching out to Trump?

kanyewest So let me get this straight the man who says slavery was a choice supports a racist, rapist child abuser wannabe dictator, wears MAGA hats, never dated a Black woman and yet black ppl STILL support him? I give up 😐

kanyewest Whilst wearing his MAGA cap...

kanyewest That’s cool of you man! But would be even cooler is if you took a stand against the bullshit WhiteHouse

kanyewest Cool story, when is kanyewest going to denounce realDonaldTrump ?

kanyewest Good for him. 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾

kanyewest Thanks kanye West!

LilRel4 kanyewest Great. But he’s avoiding talking about his support for trump tho. He still supports that Bozo and I can’t get wit that.

kanyewest he was silent this whole week, idgaf what he has to say about it now

kanyewest Where is your Magna Hat? The Kardashians need good press. Trump supporter!!!!!

kanyewest Kay e is a Trumper, just sayin

kanyewest Yeah but fuck him!

kanyewest How is it charity if everyone knows about it. Isn't it exactly like a paid advertisement. Instead of paying some TV station or magazine, you pay regular people. I never understood why people fall for this crap.

NewTypeJosh kanyewest That’s wussup but u still a cold coon

kanyewest Who cares about this guy... he’s having brunch with Trump and calling him his bestie... 🙄 bye Kanye... go away!

kanyewest Still phuck Kayne!!!!

kanyewest But is he still sucking realDonaldTrump off in the oval office?

kanyewest

kanyewest He prolly called in to make sure people reported this. Just like he was worried Forbes listed him as a billionaire. More important things to worry about ye

kanyewest Confused af, doesn't he support trump?

MelissaTweets kanyewest Kanye being a chump

BleakSolo kanyewest he better not drop an album after this...

kanyewest Sorry, still can’t stand him and his politics. Everything is fake and shallow with that whole crew.

kanyewest Gee thanks Uncle Tom..!

kanyewest God has come into your life and put his hands on your heart what a wonderful man you turned out to be and what a wonderful family you have may God bless you and thank you for doing this for this little girl and what are you do thank you🙏

kanyewest Trump supporter.

kanyewest Oh whatever. F him. The community’s collective donations are in the millions. 🤡

kanyewest TonyMcDade IyannaDior

kanyewest With his maga hat on.

kanyewest I have to say thank you to him but i sure don't care for him at all .

kanyewest Kanye West stands behind Trump his money doesn’t match his wanting a Nazi sympathizer who creates hate are hollow

kanyewest How this guy is still supports 45 is mind boggling....but I’m glad he’s helping with his “B”illions.

kanyewest Its stunning how people called celebrities out for only making statements and not donating, yet when Kanye donates what to my knowledge is the highest amount paid so far, people damn him for not speaking up. Dude always says the wrong shit, just take the donation.

kanyewest The first time I’ve respected him. Good for him. We need more of this

kanyewest How bout you just pay for it with all your yeezy money....stop playing with the people. KTSE you had for Walt Disney.

kanyewest You mean the guy who supports Trump? Any chance he gets? Idk about this. Feels like a PR grab.

kanyewest Ok but if he ever comes out in support of Trump again, like he said he would, I would like you guy to take these brownie points back. It means nothing if he continues to support the problem.

kanyewest Why don't you do something that might actually cost you something? You have money. Do you have the soul and the balls to rebuke the racist in the Whitehouse? This stinks of a ploy for relevancy and publicity.

kanyewest But he still licks trump butt

kanyewest STFU - Another 15 Minutes? NOT Relevant

kanyewest Almost makes up for his support of the fascist in chief. Almost.

kanyewest WHAATT

kanyewest How about raising your voice against the systematic racism that killed them?

kanyewest

kanyewest Not saying this isn’t incredible but he’s still on my shit list

kanyewest This Maga idiot only want free publicity

kanyewest sarkodie

kanyewest Good maybe he is on his medication again

kanyewest Thank you Kanye. Thank you Lord for saving Kanye.

kanyewest Let’s go ye

filtersfairy kanyewest Finally this man does something right

kanyewest Kanye is the goat. I struggled with my love of him and his music throughout the time when I thought he supported trump.

kanyewest Fantastic Kanye! Way to stand up . i love when a brother who helps with his means.

kanyewest

kanyewest

kanyewest This dude made made his hair blond like trump. This is how KanyeWest BUYS people's support.

roybelly kanyewest I don't trust this fool at all, go sniff trump's ass

kanyewest Nice but really!!! Fuck off kanyewest

kanyewest RealCandaceO gonna be PISSED (credit to resetera for the image). Now apologize for the trump worship kanyewest

KanyeWest FancyFour Kim is so nice for doing this in her goofy husbands name.

kanyewest Kanye I’m I reading this right!! I like. Great man do things for other people. The heart is always full when you do things for others.

kanyewest

kanyewest He has been silent for more than a week. Then a publicity stunt? He can shove this money up his 🍑.

kanyewest Me waiting to see what happens with this

kanyewest ola_jcbs woooow we LOVE to see this

kanyewest MAGAT does what now?!

kanyewest About damn time. That maga stench will soon wear off. Nah.

kanyewest kingRihh

kanyewest

SullivanBobby kanyewest Welcome back Ye. Now just denounce trump and right your wrongs

kanyewest much respect for the 40k virgils

kanyewest All this talk and questioning avoiding the point.. he may or may not support Trump still. But, he did donate to those in need..

kanyewest CajunJalen

kanyewest and like my wife said i still didn’t say no

Fabulousity201 kanyewest God bless him 🙏

kanyewest He’ll pay twice of that amount to trump campaign

kanyewest And how many other deceased black men's family will he do this for? How many more to come? What is needed is institutional changes. Unfortunately, he supports the one person who is racist and not keen in implementing such changes.

kanyewest Don’t let him trend

KemisolaOmari your guy

kanyewest One f*ckup & he'll shout back at us reminding how he did this sh*t, when we try to cancel him. Regardless thanks Ye, we good, for now...

kanyewest Someone’s meds are working.

kanyewest Now that is so much more helpful to Mr. Floyd's family than the celebrities encouraging burning, robbing, looting, and murdering in the wake of the homicide. (Not talking about peaceful calls for justice and reforms.) Kayne once again shows everyone what's up.

kanyewest are we getting old ye back?

kanyewest But he is still voting for Trump so FU him

kanyewest josefaidt 👏🏻

kanyewest That is wonderful, bless you. Others are busy funding bail out for anyone in jail for vandalism, robbery and who knows what else. They even stole a rescue puppy and strangled it on video. How do you bail out that kind of sludge.

kanyewest .....we’ll take it.

kanyewest Good for Kanye.

kanyewest GOAT

kanyewest He apologize for that embarrassing maga shit?

BayAreaMind kanyewest 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

kanyewest

kanyewest Cool. This is more than what Taylor Swift is doing. Point to Kanye West.

kanyewest He has the money to send her to college himself why not just give it to her.

kanyewest Kanye is back

kanyewest GOAT

kanyewest With whose money? That white lady you married to?

kanyewest

avery_merrick kanyewest Hmmmmmmmmm.....

kanyewest jodyscorner1

kanyewest Well tell him give SURFASHIONPR some funding since he cares about black lives now! I’m tryna get a seat just you kanyewest! Help me help us.

kanyewest Has he denounced Trump and his “dragon energy” yet?

kanyewest Oh now he wanna be black. Did he come up from Trumps hole long enough to see what’s going on?

kanyewest Where’s the maga hat now?

kanyewest cool now apologize for supporting a tyrant

kanyewest Si sirve de algo!

kanyewest ✊🏿

kanyewest Good for him!

kanyewest Zzzzzzz

kanyewest Where are Kanye haters at

kanyewest Maybe he could also stop being part of the problem and stop supporting Donald Trump.

kanyewest Maybe he needs to stop supporting trump ( aka part of the problem ) and start making better choice on who he supports . However it’s nice to see him putting money towards something good . Hopefully he can realize who he is supporting isn’t that great after all.

kanyewest Yeah but he’s a trump supporter so I’m emotionally confused.

kanyewest Great. And he can speak the fuck up too.

kanyewest Finally doing something for the black people I see

kanyewest Does this mean that Kanye West is no longer a Trump flunky?

kanyewest This is the best thing he’s ever done!

kanyewest Yay they finally made Kanye great again.

kanyewest That's nice, now can he step off the porch of The White House and join the protestors?
