Ye
aka
Kanye
West
wore
a
black
KKK-style
hood
during
an
overnight
listening
event
in
Miami
for
the
premiere
of
his
new
collaborative
album
with
Ty
Dolla
$ign,
“Vultures.”
For
most
of
the
live-streamed
event—which
included
other
artists
featured
on
the
album
like
Offset, Freddie
Gibbs, Lil
Durk, Kodak
Black, Chris
Brown,
and,
Ye’s
daughter,
North
West—Yeezy
wasn’t
wearing
the
hood.
But
at
some
point,
he
put
it
on
and
walked
about
the
stage
looking
like
the
most
racist
idea
for
a
pro
wrestler
persona
in
WWE
history.
It’s
worth
noting
that
this
isn’t
Ye’s
first
Black
Klansmen
rodeo.
From
Complex:
As
fans
know,
similar
imagery
was
used
during
the Yeezus era
a
decade
ago.
Specifically,
the
video
for Yeezus single
“Black
Skinhead,”
stylized
as
“BLKKK
SKKKN
HEAD,”
features
a
trio
of
similar
black
hoods
in
the
opening
shot.
As
the
Nick
Knight-directed
video
progresses,
the
perspective
shifts
so
that
portions
of
the
hood
imagery
are
utilized
as
a
background
upon
which
a
digital
version
of
Ye
is
seen
performing
the
track.
OK,
but
that
was
more
than
10
years
ago.
That
was
before
the
Donda
rapper
started
MAGA
stumping
for
commander-in-lying-and-criminal-indictments
Donald
Trump.
That
was
before
Ye
was
out
here
posing
in
“White
Lives
Matter”
shirts
with
his
ace
boon
coon
(emphasis
on—never
mind)
Candace
Owens.
People
might
have
given
Ye
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
before
he
started
bromance
bonding
with
Tucker
Carlson,
disrespecting
the
ancestors
and
claiming
Harriet
Tubman
“never
freed
the
slaves”
but
instead
had
them”
go
work
for
other
white
people.”
If
we
were
talking
about
pre-open
antisemite
Kanye,
folks
might
be
willing
to
give
Ye
a
little
more
rope
(pun
intended)
to
be
his
weird,
artsy-fartsy
self.
But
this
new
Kanye?
Nah—a
Klan
hood
of
any
color
just
looks
like
casual
wear
on
him
now.
Anyway,
outside
of
Ye’s
KKKosplay
moment,
fans
who
attended
the
event,
either
in
person
or
virtually,
were
treated
to
about
10
songs
from
the
new
Vultures
album,
which
is
set
to
be
released
this
Friday,
according
to
Variety.
So,
are
y’all
going
to
check
out
Ye
and
Ty’s
new
album,
or
have
you
finally
been
permanently
turned
off
KK-Ye’s
shenanigans?
