Kanye “Ye” West attacked the family of George Floyd on Sunday shortly after saying he wanted to “apologize” for false statements he has made about Floyd’s death.

In an Instagram post, the rapper lashed out against Roxie Washington — the mother of Floyd’s daughter — after she moved to file a $250-million lawsuit over his recent remarks about the police brutality victim.

West drew sharp criticism this month for falsely claiming on an episode of the “Drink Champs” podcast that Floyd’s death was fentanyl-related and that Chauvin’s “knee wasn’t even on his neck like that.” 

“Now for Roxie Washington & Roxie Washington ALONE,” West captioned a photo of Washington. “I gave 2 million dollars out of my pocket for the family. To help George’s daughter. 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."

West’s Instagram rant came after he told paparazzi that he wanted to “apologize” for his “Drink Champs” remarks about Floyd.

“When I ... questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people. It hurt the Black people,” West told paparazzi.

“God has shown me by what Adidas is doing & by what the media is doing. I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now,” he told paparazzi. “So thank you, God, for humbling me & letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest Black man ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone?”

George Floyd's young daughter, her mother & their legal team are preparing to wage legal war against Kanye West ... announcing they'll sue him for a quarter of a billion dollars after his recent comments on Floyd's death.

Roxie Washington, the mother of Floyd's only daughter Gianna, announced Tuesday she's hired a team of lawyers to go after Ye, his business partners & his associates for harassment, misappropriation, defamation & infliction of emotional distress. They're seeking $250 million in damages.

The family's attorneys also say they fired off a cease  desist letter to Kanye over his comments about Floyd's fatal interaction with Minneapolis police.

The letter reads, in part, "Mr. Floyd’s cause of death is well-settled through evidence presented in courts of law during the criminal & civil trials that were the result of his untimely & horrific death. Nevertheless, you have maliciously made statements that are inaccurate & unfounded, causing damage to Mr. Floyd’s estate & his family."

Kanye's taken a ton of heat for comments he made on an episode of "Drink Champs," claiming George died from a fentanyl overdose & pre-existing conditions, instead of Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck.

The Floyd family says Kanye's statements are "blatantly false" and "malicious" & they say Gianna is being "retraumatized" by Kanye's comments, which they say are "creating an unsafe & unhealthy environment for her."

In the cease and desist, the family's lawyers demand Kanye remove the interview & all of his similar statements on George from the Internet & keep Floyd's name out of his mouth.

Roger Goodell and the NFL have talked the talk ... and now, they're starting to walk the walk -- pledging to donate a quarter of a billion dollars to fight social injustice.

The NFL confirmed through its website it will make the $250 million donation throughout the next 10 years.

The money will go toward charities and organizations designed to "combat systemic racism and support the battle against injustices faced by African Americans."

The NFL report also says the league would be willing to work with Colin Kaepernick on social justice initiatives.

An unnamed NFL source told NFL.com, "We wouldn't be where we are today without the work Colin and other players have led off."

"It would be awesome to engage Colin on some of the work we are doing. He's doing real impactful work. Getting him in some way would be amazing for us. There's a lot of work to do to get to that point. We're certainly open and willing to do that."

A pretty HUGE statement -- though it's unclear why the NFL is keeping the identity of that person a secret.

The NFL.com report also says league owners -- who have been criticized for not speaking out enough in the fight for social justice -- approved the allocation of the league funds.

Of course, the NFL had already been donating cash to the cause in an agreement with its Players Association ... but this new gesture could multiply the org.'s initial charity tenfold.

NFL.com also reports the league has agreed to work with players to help "address criminal justice reform, police reform and economic and educational advancement for African Americans."

As we previously reported ... Goodell said in a strong statement last week the NFL is sorry for the way it handled kneeling protests in the past -- and insists he's now committed fully to helping the cause.

Jay-Z is in a celebratory mood, and who could blame him? While the final numbers aren't in yet, his "Watch The Throne" album with Kanye West, should be sitting on top of the charts later this week.

Hov hit it Club Liv in Miami for a big album release party last night (August 15). And according to Vibe, the Roc Nation CEO set a club record by buying a staggering $250,000 worth of Ace of Spade champagne.

"After several rounds of reg bottles of ace of spade Jay-z ordered the 15 liter #BOSS 100k," club promoter Purple tweeted, along with a pic of a bottle of champagne.
