Kanye West has ignited a storm of controversy after appearing in a black Ku Klux Klan-style robe and wearing a swastika necklace during a recent interview. The 47-year-old rapper donned the offensive attire while speaking with DJ Akademiks on the Rumble platform, further provoking public anger with his controversial fashion choices.

West, who later changed into a black robe with a pointed hood associated with the KKK, claimed that he had the outfit custom-made, along with a white version. Social media erupted with criticism, as many expressed their outrage over his choice of clothing, labelling it “disgusting” and “disturbing.” One user on X condemned the rapper’s actions, writing, “Why would you wear a KKK outfit to an interview? This is just sad.”
This is not the first time West has sparked public outrage. His recent comments in the interview also raised eyebrows, where he spoke regretfully about having children with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and expressed support for his “twin” Sean “Diddy” Combs, despite the sexual assault allegations against him.

West has a history of provocative behaviour, including anti-Semitic remarks in 2022, which led to major brands like Adidas and Balenciaga severing ties with him. His latest actions have reignited debates about his erratic conduct and the potential harm caused by his controversial statements and public appearances.
