Kanye West sparks outrage after sharing ‘outfit of the day’ KKK-style clothing on his Instagram
Kanye West is back in the news for all the wrong reasons.
The 47-year-old musician is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists in the industry over the past 20 years, but his behaviour has constantly come into question.
Just last month, West brought his wife Bianca Censori to the Grammys, where he helped her unveil a see-through mesh dress with nothing on underneath, leaving nothing to the imagination.
The Flashing Lights star then accused certain journalists of spreading rumours that the couple had been 'kicked out' of the music awards, when they actually chose to leave.

This is just the tip of the iceberg though, with West going on to brag about how his wife became the most searched person on Google following the event.
Weeks later, he then shared another revealing picture of Censori amid divorce rumours, but the rapper and producer would then go on a social media posting spree, in attempts to be as offensive as possible.
In posts on X that were racist, anti-semitic, and ableist among other things, he continuously posted insulting messages in the days following the Grammys, before being deactivated.
But now, he's back, and with the only post across his accounts, he has put up a snap of a KKK-style outfit, captioned 'Outfit of the day'.
The KKK, or Ku Klux Clan, are an American Christian extremist, white supremacist, far-right hate group that have a history of carrying out acts of violence against minorities.
They particularly target Catholics, Jews, and African Americans - the latter of which makes this all the more confusing.
Users were visibly outraged by West's post. One wrote in the comments: "He’s all the way off the deep end, I hate the new Kanye."
Another shared: "God I hate you so much, I used to think you were so cool."
A third simply wrote: "Kanye you can NOT be posting this."
The photo was put up just hours after he announced on his Instagram story that 'Sunday Service', the choir group that he leads which has also featured on some of West's past songs, would be returning on 16 March.
A different user then pointed out: "Ye u just posted Sunday service dawg this ain't the service we askin'."
