Kanye West is still working on his new album Bully , and we’ve received some snippets and interesting reports about the so-called solo project. We say “should” because, at the end of the day, you never know what to expect when his album comes out. Still, Ye seems committed to the next phase of his career, as he continues to promote and hype its arrival in strange but welcome ways. For example, he recently posted a photo on his Instagram Story of a horse in Kai Cenat’s room wearing some merch from the new record, specifically a big black flag (shout out Henry Rollins!
For those who don’t know, this horse is from a Kai Cenat livestream earlier this year, and there’s no word yet on whether this is an edited picture or the real deal. What really makes this moment stand out, however, is the contentious history Kanye West and the streaming giant share. They had a bit of a fight when Ye sent Kai some oversized Yeezy merchandise, but it’s nice to see that they seem to have buried the hatchet. Or maybe this is just another escapade from the Chicago artist that completely caught the media crowd by surprise, so we’ll see how he reacts to it.
Kanye West shouts out Kai Cenat’s horse in ‘Bully’ promo
Interestingly, Kai Cenat recently had a viral moment with Kanye West that was a little more embarrassing than wearing oversized clothes. During a recent sit-down with Shannon Sharpe at the Shay Shay Club, the sports commentator took a swipe at Kai’s Yeezy Red October shoes when he noticed they were starting to fall apart during the conversation. This actually has nothing to do with the musician and fashion mogul, but it’s another weird headline surrounding Cenat and Yeezy merchandise, and this new horse photo represents that.
Aside from the obvious Kai Cenat co-sign, Kanye West has continued to face more controversy of late surrounding his Yeezy merchandise and the movement as a whole. Still, given recent activity, it seems likely that this year will produce more innocent or at least less inflammatory moments, so here’s hoping the focus stays on art rather than provocation.
