Ye West, aka Kanye, has stirred up controversy once more. With his most recent Instagram post, the rapper allegedly offered the “greatest inspiration for all design,” which got him into trouble. The tweet referred to the clothes in his fashion line, Yeezy, which, for the uninitiated, is a partnership with sportswear manufacturer Adidas, which is well-known for its sneakers, and said, “Look to the children/look to the homeless.”
His tweet caused a rift among internet users, with some praising the rapper for his ideas while others urging him to do more for the homeless.
“No poor person purchasing $200 Yeezys,” one user commented on the photo, while another added, “Private school art kids be like.” Further comments from users included “Wait till he hears about homeless children” and “Sounds like exploitation of the helpless.” “Meaning: seek inspiration from someone that won’t sue you for copyright infringement,” said German musician Johann Scheerer.
The CEO and President of Los Angeles Mission, Troy Vaughn, recently said on his company’s blog, “We have certainly had collaborative talks with Ye about improving the lives of the unhoused on Skid Row, notably via design as he indicated in his tweet. We have high hopes that Ye will play a significant role in our upcoming launch of The Skid Row Revitalization Project.”
West recently found himself in another scandal when he pretended Pete Davidson had died after learning of the American comedian’s separation from Kim Kardashian. However, the post has already been removed.
