In an Instagram post, he shared a photo of Washington donning a blue hat and wrote the following in the caption:
“Now for Roxie Washington and Roxie Washington ALONE. I gave 2 million dollars out of my pocket for the family. To help George’s daughter…Your daughter! I can guarantee that most of those that came for me after my comments didn’t do what I did! Even those with millions of dollars in the bank!”
He continued, “How much did BLM give???? Many gave words. I ACTED. Now because of words you want to sue me for 250 million dollars…….when I’m going through an Economic lynching. A Digital Lynching. A Social Credit Score bankrupting. You’re either being controlled or you’re being greedy… But You better get you some business… 4 GOD get mad.”

“This is how you try someone who was there for your family???? You will never get money from no one else. GOD don’t like ugly. Look at yo motherfucking hat. Yo hat ugly…You know how I feel about an ugly ass hat,” West added.
He further wrote, “To the Floyd family: I apologized to you and the black community for my comments on Drink Champs. Humbly… Now Come get Roxie before she mess up all y’all money. The Bible is the umbilical chord…Stay Connected.”
Floyd’s family planned to sue Kanye West and his associates in retaliation to his charges regarding George Floyd’s death at the Drink Champs event earlier in October 2022. The lawsuit was brought by Roxie Washington, Floyd’s daughter’s mother, on behalf of their minor daughter, Gianna.

The family considered holding him responsible for their misappropriation, defamation, emotional distress, and harassment. On the show, West said that Floyd had died due to fentanyl and that Derek Chauvin, a former police officer, was not to blame. West received a cease-and-desist letter from the Floyd family.
