Later, Vogue issued a statement saying the magazine "stands with" Karefa-Johnson, calling West's attack on her "unacceptable." "Now more than ever, voices like hers are needed," the magazine wrote. "And in a private meeting with Ye today, she once again spoke her truth in a way she felt best, on her terms."

British Vogue editor Edward Enninful remarked that the shirt was "insensitive, given the state of the world."

Supermodel Gigi Hadid wrote, "If there's actually a point to any of your shit, [Karefa-Johnson] might be the only person that could save u… You're a bully and a joke."
