Kanye West says he regrets participating in ‘life’

Despite previously rapping about living the 'Good Life', Kanye West has said he regrets participating in the rat race.

The musician and father-of-four, 48, has left fans concerned after making the melancholy admission in a video which has since gone viral online. He's been spending some time in Japan over the last few weeks and joined his former brother-in-law Travis Scott on stage in Tokyo a few weeks back.

West performed some of his most iconic tracks during Scott's gig on 8 November, including 'Flashing Lights', 'Through The Wire' and 'Heartless'.

Some fans took this setlist as a sign that the 'old Kanye' was making a comeback following the chaos of this year, as controversy has become synonymous with the hitmaker.

Although he has dialled back his social media rants, the Atlanta-born star is now going viral for a different reason.

While roaming around Tokyo, West encountered content creator and style guru Mystery Fashionist, AKA Ajay Porter, who gets the lowdown on celebrities' favourite trends whenever he runs into them.

During the short street interview, the Yeezy founder was asked to introduce himself and his outfit, while rating his clobber on a scale of one to ten.

"I'm Ye, I'm from [Chicago]," West said, before stating that his rig-out is 'always ten out of ten'.

"I got the original Yeezy 950 boots on," he continued. "I got the...you know, Gosha did the pop up today, so the rest of it is all Gosha."

Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy returned to Japan amid the relaunch of his brand and hosted a pop-up in Harajuku, ahead of an afterparty at a venue in Tokyo.

And apparently, he kitted West out with a nice new fit, too.

But this seemingly did little to cheer the former husband of Kim Kardashian up, as he shared a glum answer when Porter asked his next question.

The social media star probably didn't get the answer he was anticipating when he asked West to name a 'fashion trend that he regrets participating in', as West bluntly responded: "Life."

And between the look on his face and his sombre response, it's no wonder that fans have been left concerned for the star.

One person commented on the clip: "Why does he sound so sad bro?"

Another added: "Kinda feel sorry for him, hope he's okay."

A third wrote: "The pain in his eyes when he said 'life'."

And a fourth chimed in saying: "Life. That's deep Ye."
