Beauty blogger Jeffree Star has spoken out about the growing controversy surrounding him and Kim Kardashian West.

On August 14, after Star criticized Kardashian's makeup swatching skills, the reality star's fans responded by bringing up racist comments that Star made in videos from 12 years ago. Kardashian then defended the blogger on Snapchat, thanking Star for "being honest" about how she could improve her swatching, while pleading with fans to "get off his a--" about his past comments.

A day later on August 15, after Kardashian's response prompted outrage on social media, she apologized for defending the blogger over Snapchat and said that she "really didn't know enough about" the situation to comment.

Later on the same day, Star took to Twitter and addressed the matter from his perspective. In a series of 10 tweets, which we first saw on Cosmopolitan, the blogger urged everyone to focus less on him and more on "how dark and depressing America is right now." 

"Every news and media outlet in the world has emailed and called my office all day asking me for a Kim. K quote.. Please f--- off," Star wrote in the first tweet. 

He told his followers, "THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS 2 WORRY ABOUT," and brought up politics.

Star added that harassing him on social media "doesn't fix anything."

The internet had mixed reactions to Star's rant.

Here's Kardashian's two-part apology for defending Star that she posted to Snapchat on August 15:

And here are the original Snapchat videos she posted defending Star on August 14:

 In June, Star uploaded a 15-minute apology video to YouTube that shed light on his past racist remarks.

"Those videos were 12 years ago, and I look at them, and I see them resurfaced, and it just makes me sick to my stomach because I don't know who that person was," Star said. "I'm embarrassed as a person because that is not what I've ever stood for."

Here are Star's tweets from August 15 in full:

"Every news and media outlet in the world has emailed and called my office all day asking me for a Kim. K quote.. Please f--- off. Talking about makeup has turned into a blood bath since yesterday. WAKE UP. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS 2 WORRY ABOUT. We have a literal PIECE OF S--- for a 'President' who is embarrassing our entire country and you want worry about Jeffree Star. #cantrelate

I get that people love drama and feed off of it, but attacking ME with hate and disgusting comments doesn't fix anything. You can't call me something that I'm not. It's getting old... Same bulls--- every time there's online drama. CHILL and worry about YOU.

Who else is ready for this disgusting vile piece of s--- @POTUS to be #impeached? The media wants to keep us all distracted by news headlines about me and Kim, but let's talk about how sad our country is right now.

HEY HATERS: Instead of tweeting me and calling me 'f-----' and 'disgusting tranny' all day - try fighting for something important. Because with how dark and depressing America is right now, I don't think I'm important. Stop wasting time on gossip and focus on reality. If you're upset about Jeffree Star and contour swatches and makeup drama, get the f--- out of my mentions. You're wasting your own time."

INSIDER contacted a representative for Jeffree Star for comment on its earlier coverage of the story, and had not heard back at the time of this post.
