Kanye West Tweets KKK-Inspired Outfit for Met Gala 2025

After Bianca Censori’s controversial Grammys outfit, Kanye West seemingly prepares to stir up drama in a KKK-inspired outfit if he attends the Met Gala 2025. While his attendance at the highly awaited fashion event remains uncertain, West, who now goes by Ye, shared a visual of what his get-up may look like in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter). The rapper, who continues his rant on social media, posted a sketch of a mock-up attire. It showed a fully bare front and a cone-shaped hood with gloves and boots on.

Only last month, West received flak for attending an interview with AJ Akademiks in a black KKK outfit, as per ComingSoon.net. While talking to Akademiks about his questionable fit, he admitted to being unsure about wearing it in public and faced backlash regardless. In addition, he wore a Sean “Diddy” Combs-designed T-shirt and a swastika necklace.

Kanye West’s Met Gala 2025 sketch inspired by a KKK robe and hood

It appears Kanye West isn’t done with his tirade, as he recently shared a sketch of a KKK-like robe and hood outfit ahead of the Met Gala 2025. His debatable fashion choices seemingly took a backseat as he attacked the Kardashians and others from the music industry in his recent X (formerly Twitter) rants after Bianca Censori’s controversial Grammys outfit in February. The following month, West showed up for his DJ Akademiks interview in a KKK-inspired outfit, inciting another controversy before going on a social media rampage.

Now, the rapper shared a rough sketch, showing a glimpse of what his outfit might look like for the gala if he attended this year. The snap showed an illustration of a figure, completely bare on the front, and a cone-shaped hood that entirely covered the face. Additionally, the sketch depicted the person wearing gloves and boots with a hood on the back while the caption noted, “MET BALL 2025.” It closely resembled the all-black ensemble he wore for his interview with Akademiks, for which he faced criticism. 

Commenters quickly called out Kanye West’s apparent Met Gala 2025 outfit, with one user remarking he swapped “spots with Bianca.” Another person opined that he should stick to a “black suit” as it “would be a better fashion statement, respectfully.” A third user noted that this could lead to all events eventually banning him from attending. A few expressed shock at the possibility of him being at the gala, while others urged him not to do it.
