Kanye West Admits He Was Jealous of Virgil Abloh and Treated Him Badly


It's been a turbulent week for Kanye West, after debuting his 'White Lives Matter' t-shirt line for Paris Fashion Week [click here if you missed that]. 

Since then Kanye has been spewing his rhetoric on social media and its hard to catch it all, when you're completely uninterested, but in one particular exchange, Kanye finally admits he was jealous of the late designer Virgil Abloh and treated him badly before he died...

It started last week after Kanye accused Louis Vuitton CEO, Bernard Arnault, of killing his "best friend" Virgil during one of his IG stream of consciousness meltdowns after the fashion community united against him for bashing Black Vogue fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson for criticizing the White Lives Matter t-shirts [click here if you missed that]. 


That's when Tremaine Emory, the creator director for Supreme, g-checked Kanye over his treatment of Virgil in life and death. 



Last night Kanye shared a text message exchange from Tremaine where he claims he never liked Virgil's designs and admits he was jealous of Virgil.
