Sharon Osbourne wants a refund from Black Lives Matter, an organization she now considers a “scam.”
The iconic former co-host of “The Talk” was approached by a TMZ reporter as she shopped along Beverly Hills’ legendary Rodeo Drive and asked for her thoughts on the explosive reaction to Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” t-shirt.

“I don’t understand any of it,” Osbourne replied regarding the controversy. “Everybody matters, don’t they?”
Osbourne made clear that she hasn’t closely followed the drama surrounding Ye, but she firmly agreed that BLM is a “scam.”
“Well, we gave 900,000 dollars to that,” she revealed, “and, um, I’d like my money back, please.”
“Well, she could have said that before,” she added with a laugh.

When asked if it would be appropriate to “cancel” Ye over his point of view, Osbourne was adamant.
“Nope,” she stated. “No.”
The reporter pressed the strolling Osbourne, noting that some are calling Ye “evil.”
“I don’t understand it,” Osbourne repeated, “so I can’t say it’s evil [or] it’s not. But you know what? You can’t stop people from living their lives, doing what they do.”
If you don’t like what Ye has to say, Osbourne suggests you “don’t go to his social media. Don’t listen to his music. Leave the guy alone. Let him do what he does, and if you don’t like him, do that — leave him alone.”
When asked about rumors that Adidas is reviewing its relationship with the rapper in the wake of the “White Lives Matter” fallout, Osbourne was characteristically blunt.
“They won’t cut their ties,” she predicted. “They make too much money from him.”
That liberal heads exploded when Ye, joined by conservative powerhouse Candace Owens, donned the “White Lives Matter” shirts for Fashion Week in Paris, was a predictable outcome for the Trump-supporting singer.

As American Wire News reported, the granddaughter of legendary reggae singer Bob Marley, Selah Marley, promptly came under attack for wearing the bold shirt.
The 23-year-old daughter of rapper and actress Lauryn Hill bravely stood up to the woke mob and accused them of being “stuck in a hive mind mentality.”
“You cannot bully me, manipulate me, or coax me into silence. Nor will you bully me into being who I don’t want to be. I don’t care how many tweets you make, DMs you send, or articles you write,” she told her haters on Instagram.

The fuel that drives the left’s hatred of Ye became abundantly clear during his lengthy interview with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson on Thursday evening.
Passionately pro-life and proudly pro-Trump, and refreshingly unapologetic, Ye has the ability to influence millions of young minds.
For a progressive, that’s a terrifying thought.

“I don’t care about people’s response as I care about the fact that there is more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point — 50% of black death in America is abortion,” he said when asked about the ultrasound photo he wears around his neck. “I don’t care about people’s responses, I perform for an audience of one and that is God.”
And as for his Trump hat?
Well, it was the circus surrounding former President Trump’s campaign that led him to be more vocal about his personal views.
“I think I started to really feel this need to express myself on another level when Trump was running for office and I liked him,” Ye said. “And every single person in Hollywood from my ex-wife [Kim Kardashian], to my mother-in-law, to my manager at that time, to my so-called friends slash handlers around me told me that if I said I liked Trump that my career would be over, and my life would be over.”
“They said stuff like people get killed for wearing a hat like that,” he continued. “They threatened my life. They put my life… They basically said that I would be killed for wearing the hat. I had someone call me last night and said, ‘Anybody wearing a White Lives Matter shirt is going to be green-lit,’ and that means that they’re going to beat them up if they wear it. I’m like, you know, green light me then.”
