Kanye ‘Ye’ West posts KKK photo after announcing return of his gospel choir

Kanye ‘Ye’ West has teased the return of his Sunday Service - choir events he began back in January 2019 to coincide with his Christianity-themed album ‘Jesus Is King’.  

The Sunday Service Choir performs gospel songs and covers from Ye’s discography, which sounds like some much-needed respite from his antisemitic rants.  

“Sunday Service Returns March 16 2025,” he wrote in an Intagram post, accompanied by a screenshot of a text message exchange with Sunday Service choir director Jason White.

Don’t get too comfy, however, as any sense of normalcy was short-lived.

Once the controversial rapper had finished teasing the return of the choir, he posted a picture of a Klu Klux Klan (KKK) robe straight afterwards.  

Indeed, Ye took to Instagram to post a now-removed picture of a white robe typically affiliated with the white supremacist group with the caption: “Outfit of the day”.  

He also shared the same picture on X, with the caption: “FIT PIC”.

The posts have been criticised by social media users, with some expressing their outrage and saying they feel “sick to the stomach”.

“Someone hit ctrl + alt + delete and restart Kanye please,” commented one social media user, while another added: “Is someone gonna tell him he's black?” 

The KKK have a history of carrying out acts of violence against minorities. The white supremacist, far-right hate group violently opposes Jews, Catholics, and Southern / Eastern European immigrants and – most confusing of all considering West’s post - Black people.  

Not that has bothered him previously. This year, West has come under fire for selling a white t-shirt with a large swastika emblem on the chest – an item listed as “HH-01” on his website, a possible reference to the “Heil Hitler” chant.

The site was taken down by Shopify – although the online retailer stated that West’s website was taken down not because it was selling swastika merchandise, but rather because of the potential for fraud. However, Shopify did condemn the item, calling it “vile, disgusting and inexcusable”. 

This also follows highly controversial posts in which he declared himself “a Nazi” - something he backtracked days later, saying on X that “after further reflection” he had “come to the realization that I’m not a Nazi.” 

His rants last month also saw him declare “dominion” over his wife Bianca Censori, whose see-through dress at the Grammys provoked worry over her wellbeing.

The rapper was dropped by his talent agency following these horrific rants.

The KKK post by West also adds itself to an offensive remark the rapper made on 6 March, in which he wrote: “This next album got that antisemitic sound. My new sound called antisemitic.” 

It is unclear if this is related to the release of his 'Bully' album, which he teased at the beginning of 2025.  

What’s clear is that West’s case has not only tested the limits of separating the art from the artist, but has made defending him a total impossibility.
