Sharon Osbourne wants her money back.

The former “The Talk” co-host agreed with Kanye West about Black Lives Matter being a “scam” when TMZ asked her about the rapper’s recent antics, from his White Lives Matter shirt to his social media tirades. “Well, we gave $900,000 to [Black Lives Matter], and I’d like my money back, please,” she told a reporter.

Osbourne, 69, did not specify why she wanted a refund, but she did express confusion surrounding the outrage over West’s headline-making shirt at his fashion show. “I don’t understand why white lives don’t matter. I don’t understand it. It’s not my culture,” she said. “Everybody matters, don’t they?”

Osbourne also said West, 45, shouldn’t be canceled over his actions and instead encouraged people to ignore him if they don’t like him.“Don’t go to his social media. Don’t listen to his music,” she said. “Leave the guy alone. Let him do what he does, and if you don’t like him, do that. Leave him alone.”

The Yeezy founder enraged the fashion industry and people around the world by modeling a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt on Monday with controversial commentator Candace Owens. West doubled down on his decision all week, proceeding to call BLM a fraud. “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam now it’s over you’re welcome,” he wrote on his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

Sources at Paris Fashion Week told Page Six Style exclusively that West is actually baffled by the reactions to his shirt. “He thinks it’s a PC thing,” said an insider. “He wants to give a voice to the ‘other side’ [of the race debate in America]. He doesn’t understand why people aren’t seeing that.”
