Kanye West has always been ahead of trends. He famously said that that there are leaders and followers but he would “rather be a dick than a swallower” and, since then, he’s proven to be one of the most influential people in music, fashion, culture, and even politics in recent years. Each time he’s been spotted out in public in the last few weeks, Kanye has worn a bag-like mask over his head, with some of his face coverings featuring a picture of Jesus Christ. We’ve all worn masks over our noses and mouths for the last year and a half but it looks like Kanye is ushering in a new face covering, starting yet another trend at the Balenciaga fashion show this morning.

Seated in the front row of the crowd with Lil Baby, James Harden, and others, Kanye looked like he was in his own world, wishing to interact with absolutely nobody during the display. He wore a mask over his entire face, a big, black puffer jacket, black trousers, and Yeezy Foam Runners.

Some fans have guessed that supermodel Irina Shayk is sitting next to Kanye in the picture but according to some leading Kanye news sources on Twitter, that’s not the case. The woman wears a mask over her mouth, which is likely why people had difficulty identifying her.

As a result of the photo circulating on social media, people pointed out Kanye’s outfit — most notably, everyone was talking about his Nike socks. For years, Kanye has been working with Adidas on his Yeezy brand but in recent months, he’s popped up wearing different Nike products. For somebody that has historically been “Stripes over Checks,” the move had a lot of people questioning his brand allegiance. “Nike Socks” is presently trending on Twitter.

What do you think of Kanye’s look at the show? And do you want a collaboration between Kanye and Lil Baby?

Unfortunately, being rich and famous oftentimes makes you more susceptible to dealing with different thieves after your most prized possessions. Pop Smoke notably lost his life after a botched robbery of his Rolex watch in Los Angeles, while thieves recently targeted Beyoncé’s LA storage unit and made off with millions of dollars worth of stolen items. 

For Yung Bleu, who recently completed construction this year on a massive estate, his adorable blue-eyed pitbull puppies were the target of a heist–allegedly at the hands of his neighbors. The “You’re Mine’s Still” artist took to social media on Wednesday (July 7) to call out the sticky-handed assailants.

“Attention to all my neighbors. I tried you be a good Niegbor. But y’all mfs done stole my damn dogs,” wrote Bleu on Twitter Wednesday. He continued, vowing to not allow them to know peace until his dogs are returned to his property, adding, “I no it sound funny but look ! I’m throwing big loud azz parties everyday until my dawgs are returned it’s fenna get real ghetto at my estates.”

He then changed his mind in a second tweet, instead opting to return the favor and requesting all dog snatchers to hit his line. “Might of fact ! All the dog snatchers hit my Dm,” penned the artist. He finished, “Ain’t nobody fenna have no fucking dogs round this bitch.” 

As of right now, there’s no word as to whether or not the Alabama native filed a formal police report or not about the alleged robbery. Given his options of solutions right now, it’s likely he’ll choose not to contact authorities for the time being either. 

Good luck to Yung Bleu in getting his puppies back.
