Kanye West slammed for sickening post of racist robe calling it his ‘outfit of the day’

Controversial rapper Kanye West has fuelled outrage with a new offensive post on his Instagram account today.

The Gold Digger rapper, 47, who has become more widely known in recent years for his hate-filled online rants and publicity stunts – namely his Grammys red carpet stunt with his wife Bianca Censori – than his music has added fuel to the fire with his latest offering. The post on Instagram depicts a white robe with a tie around the waist and a long, pointed hood which would completely cover the face of a person wearing the robe – apart from the eyes.

The distinctive style of the robe is notoriously worn by members of the Klu Klux Klan – also known as the KKK – an American Protestant-led Christian extremist, white supremacist, far-right hate group known for its racist views, especially against African Americans and black people. Although the KKK also discriminated against Roman Catholics, Jews and Mexicans.

As the rapper posted a photo of the robe on his Instagram page, Kanye penned in the caption: “Outfit of the day”, appearing to make light of the outrageous, racist share. The post drew criticism from followers of Kanye as one commented with: “What the hell is this attention seeking behavior”.

Another added: “You have black children. What is wrong with you?”? While a third penned: “Has to be rage bait” as another simply said: “Unfollow”.

The recent hate-filled post is one of many from Kanye – who went on a rant on X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this year after his wife Bianca’s Grammys stunt. Days after Bianca was pictured wearing nothing but a completely sheer dress on the red carpet of the award ceremony, Kanye claimed he had a ‘ dominion ‘ over his wife and shared a string of anti-semitic and racist posts on the platform.

In the wake of his online outbursts, a number of stars have spoken out as Blac Chyna – who previously dated Kaye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s brother Rob Kardashian – shared her take on Kanye’s rants. The reality TV star and model, 36, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and explained: “So, I’m not a doctor, and I honestly think maybe more so abandonment ship]issues]. You know what I mean? If you take a look back at like, all the people that’s been in his life, and he kind of like, put them on a pedestal and was there for them, they kind left. And I feel like that kind of sucks, because sometimes we have to be there for people, and I feel like he hasn’t really found that support yet that’s going to stick by you through it all. So I think that’s where the outburst is coming from”.

Meanwhile, Kanye’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose gave her take. Amber, 41, sat down with Shannon Sharpe for his Club Shay Shay podcast. She claimed: “Kanye is for sure dressing her like that. Yeah, he did the same thing to me and Kim. It’s just who he is. He wants other men to want his woman. That’s what he’s into, he likes that. He likes that men are drooling over his woman. That’s what he’s into”.
