Gigi Hadid has called out Kanye West after he ripped into a critic of his White Lives Matter jumper.
The rapper sparked fury at his Yeezy Paris Fashion Week show on Monday, when he appeared in a sweater adorned with the controversial slogan.
Models also posed in jumpers carrying the phrase as they hit the catwalk, leaving the audience – made up of some of the biggest names in fashion – stunned.
In the wake of the show, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, a stylist and global Vogue contributing editor, made her feelings known about the garments, describing them as ‘indefensible behavior’.
Responding to the backlash, the 45-year-old branded the Black Lives Matter movement a ‘scam’, before taking aim at those who spoke out against him.
Sharing a photo of Gabriella on his Instagram page, Ye mocked: ‘This is not a fashion person You speak on Ye Ima speak on you Ask Trevor Noah.’

‘I KNOOOOOOW ANNA HAAAATES THESE BOOTS,’ he continued beside a close-up of her shoes, before sharing a screenshot of a text exchange in which he was asked not to insult her.
Gigi ripped into the dad-of-four in the comments section below that particular post, describing him as a ‘bully and a joke’.
‘You wish u had a percentage of her intellect,’ the supermodel fumed. ‘You have no idea haha….
‘If there’s actually a point to any of your s**t she might be the only person that could save u [sic].

‘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.’
Ye’s posts come after Gabriella shared her anger over his White Lives Matter collection on her Instagram story.
‘Here comes the bulls**t. I’m fuming… Collecting my thoughts… DM me for my working thesis. Indefensible behavior,’ she shared to her 196k followers.

‘I guess I get what he tried to do – He thought it was Duchampian. It wasn’t. It didn’t land and it was deeply offensive, violent and dangerous.’
She then shared screenshots of text messages containing her first thoughts and the possible reasons for his actions, before clarifying that she wasn’t attempting to justify the jumpers.
‘The T-shirts this man conceived, produced, and shared with the world are pure violence. There is no excuse, there is no art here,’ she added.

‘I do think if you asked Kanye, he’d say there was art, and revolution, and all of the things in that T-shirt. There isn’t. As we all work through the trauma of this moment, especially those of us who suffered in that room, let’s have some grace for one another.’
Gabriella isn’t the only person who was shocked by the presentation, with Jaden Smith walking out during the show, before highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement on Twitter.
‘I Had To Dip Lol,’ he tweeted after leaving. ‘True Leaders Lead.
