It seems that Kanye West will not stop being the protagonist of controversies in 2023 (and what is missing) because now he is the one who is criticized for his clothing. The singer presented his album Vultures in Miami during an Art Basel event, where he surprised everyone in attendance when he came out on stage wearing a hood very similar to that of the Ku Klux Klan. This secret group is known and very controversial for promoting racism, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism, in addition to homophobia, anti-Catholicism, and anti-communism, through violent and propaganda acts.
However, this is not the first time that Kanye West has shown his admiration for this congregation. In 2013 he also wore this outfit for the Black Skinhead music video. That time they applauded his “artistic and avant-garde” way of dressing, but after everything he has demonstrated, the context and meaning are completely different. Famous fans and some musicians such as Ty Dolla $ign, Offset, Lil Durk, Chris Brown, Kodak Black, and Freddie Gibbs, praised his music, because despite everything, his talent was recognized, but on social networks, he received a storm of criticism.
Some users claim that the fact that he has appeared with this Ku Klux Klan style hood is just to attract attention, just as he has done with his wife Bianca Censori, causing controversy with her extravagant outfits. This adds to the anti-Semitic comments he made last year, generating the anger and indignation of several people.
Kanye West and Bianca Censori Return
After it was announced that the couple had taken time off after an intervention by Bianca Censori’s friends, they were seen together and smiling at an event. The young woman’s close circle was concerned about the way the singer treated her because they considered that he emotionally violated her and forced her to exhibit herself in public just to attract everyone’s attention.
