Kanye West continues to find ways to make himself a target in cancel culture, and his latest stunt — wearing a KKK-inspired robe — struck a nerve with many.
The rapper reveals what he truly thinks about his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, in an interview with DJ Akademiks while once again wearing a controversial outfit.
Kanye West Wears KKK-Inspired Outfit to Interview, Admits He Regrets Having Children with Kim Kardashian
Kanye West is getting a lot of attention from the public again, but not in a way that’s winning him widespread approval.
The 47-year-old producer, who is widely known for wearing bizarre outfits with his girlfriend, Bianca Censori, took things up a notch by wearing a Ku Klux Klan-inspired outfit during an interview with influencer DJ Akademiks.
West admitted to the podcast host that he did not want to have children with Kim Kardashian, whom he was with for eight years and shares four kids with.
“When you speak about Kim, people might be like, ‘Well, you picked her. You put yourself in that,’” DJ Akademiks told the rapper, suggesting that some might see him as avoiding accountability for his choices.
The Off the Grid artist responded, “Absolutely, I did. That was my fault. No, that was my fault.”
Ye then revealed that he did not want to have kids with the 44-year-old reality TV star after the first two months of being with her.
“But that wasn’t God’s plan,” he added.
The former couple is currently in a custody battle over their children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Recently, they have shared social media updates showing they are in a heated dispute over including their daughter, North, in a song collaboration with Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently in jail facing multiple allegations.
How People Are Reacting to Kanye West’s Controversial Interview
West’s admission in his interview with DJ Akademiks was shocking, but his all-black robe and pointed hood — resembling the attire of an infamous hate group — once again sparked a range of reactions.
“This dude literally can’t stand not being the center of attention,” said one Reddit user.
“Kanye West is one of the most insecure people on the internet. So scared of being irrelevant that he always has to do something shocking,” an X user stated.
Many are no longer surprised by the Runaway rapper’s antics and have been discussing how his behavior has worsened over the years.
A commenter on Reddit brought up Ye’s mental condition, as he recently admitted to being on the autism spectrum during The Download podcast.
However, people are debating whether his actions should be excused, considering his recent controversies — including allowing his girlfriend to wear a near-nude outfit in public, tricking people into buying Swastika shirts online, and wearing an outfit that promotes antisemitism and racism.
While many were offended, some continue to support West, and others even find his bold outfit choices and stunts entertaining. A user on X even called him a genius for knowing “how to get engagement” online.
