Kanye West‘s claim has gotten the attention of social media and some people are blaming him for uttering such. If you really saw the photo of the officer who put a knee on George Floyd’s neck, it was said to be what led to his death but Kanye has also claimed that the officer wasn’t even on his neck like that.

Lee Merritt, a lawyer who is known for his work on racial justice issues, has revealed that while the deceased cannot be defamed, the family of George Floyd is considering suing Ye for his comments, arguing that they undermine and diminish the family’s fight.

Check out the tweet below.

While one cannot defame the dead, the family of #GeorgeFloyd is considering suit for Kanye’s false statements about the manner of his death.

Claiming Floyd died from fentanyl not the brutality established criminally and civilly undermines & diminishes the Floyd family’s fight.
