For many years, Ye, synonymously known as Kanye West, has been at the center of numerous controversies. Alongside his unpredictable antics, his influence on fashion over the past decade has been undeniable. This past week, Ye joined DJ Akademiks in a now-viral interview, where his outfit quickly sparked condemnation on social media. During the livestream, Ye also criticized several artists, as well as his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
During the interview which was conducted at his home, Ye confidently wore an all-black overhead hoodie and blouse, which is closely inspired by the Ku Klux Klan. Prior to this outfit, he had worn a “Sean John” T-shirt, designed by Diddy, alongside a swastika pendant. During the outfit change, DJ Akademiks seemingly co-signed Ye’s outfit of choice as he assisted him in buttoning the black blouse. However, Dj Akademiks briefly questioned of Ye had worn the outfit in public yet. “You know a funny thing is I wanted to wear it yesterday but, I thought they would put me in a hospital for my outfit,” he replied.

Furthermore, Ye did not hold back during the live-streamed interview. He voiced more of his opinion on popular subject matter such as the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. His stance praised Drake over Kendrick Lamar whom has been winning over the popular vote since the feud began last year. “One thing is, Drake is a million times better than Kendrick and a million times more important,” he said. “What Future has done, Thug, Drake, culturally — that s–-t last year, I could barely sit through that s–-t. That s–-t was insane, bro.”
Ye also walked Dj Akademiks through more of his personal life. He went into to detail about his current public feud with his ex wife, Kim Kardashian. With regret, he reveals he did not want to have any children with Kim Kardashian.”No, that was my fault. I take it,” he said. “I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her. But that wasn’t God’s plan,” he added. Kanye West married Kim in 2014 and the former couple had four children.
Moreover, Ye is currently gearing up to release his upcoming album WW3, set for April 3rd. His latest interview with DJ Akademiks continues to circulate ahead of it’s release.
