West, on Monday, tweeted about how everyone needs hugs sometimes. He then went on to share a picture of spiritual guru Mata Amritanandamayi, writing, “Amma Mata had given over 32 million hugs.”

Earlier this month, West sparked outrage over social media after he said that the enslavement of African Americans over centuries may have been “a choice”. His tweets in support of US President Donald Trump were also slammed by black commentators.
