Striking: Until now Kim was the only person who followed West on Instagram, but since last weekend, he’s also been following Balenciaga. Not all of this is accidental. It was announced yesterday that the Spanish fashion house has co-designed Kanye’s new album, and that’s special to say the least. The set is called “Engineered by Balenciaga” and consists of two long-sleeved shirts, a hat and a black mask that covers almost your entire face. The rapper always wore this mask in recent weeks when he appeared in the audience. The T-shirts show a photo of his childhood home and what is supposed to be a childhood photo of Donda West. Prices fluctuate between $60 (about €50) and $200 (about €170) and are on sale at West site.

However, the album was not released without controversy. So was rapper Dababi and singer Marilyn Manson Present at the last listening party. The first recently caused an uproar with his homophobic statements, and the second was accused of sexual assault by several women. It can also be heard on the song “Jail pt two”, which was released a few hours after the album. “Universal released my album without my permission and blocked ‘Jail 2’ from appearing on the album,” Kanye wrote on Instagram.
