Ye posts an image eerily similar to a hate group’s attire—backlash erupts instantly

Kanye West has ignited yet another firestorm of controversy with his latest social media post. The rapper, now legally known as Ye, took to Instagram to share an image of a pointed hood and a flowing white robe cinched at the waist. His caption, simply reading “Outfit of the day,” sent shockwaves across the internet.

Critics were quick to point out the disturbing resemblance to the attire of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a notorious far-right hate group. While West did not explicitly mention the KKK, the imagery alone was enough to trigger widespread outrage. Social media users slammed the post as “tone-deaf,” “irresponsible,” and “beyond offensive.” Others speculated whether it was another one of West’s infamous publicity stunts, designed to provoke outrage rather than make a genuine statement.

This is far from the first time the controversial artist has found himself in the eye of a media storm. Over the years, Ye has faced backlash for inflammatory remarks, his erratic social media presence, and his unapologetically divisive opinions.

Amid the uproar, Kanye’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose has also reignited conversations about his past behavior. Speaking on the Club Shay podcast with Shannon Sharpe, the model recalled an emotional moment from their relationship when West pressured her into wearing a revealing outfit against her will.

“I cried. I remember arguing with him, telling him I didn’t want to wear it,” she confessed. Despite her protests, West insisted, dismissing her discomfort with claims of “fashion genius.” The experience left her feeling humiliated, as she recalled facing brutal online criticism once photos of her outfit surfaced.

This latest controversy adds to the growing criticism of West’s past and present actions. His latest Instagram post has sparked fresh debates over his intentions, with many questioning whether the rapper will ever be held accountable for his increasingly divisive behavior.
