Kanye West’s Tokyo TikTok Answer Raises Concern as Brazil Issues Show Warning

The viral street clip surfaces days before his São Paulo date, which city officials say will be strictly policed for any promotion of Nazism.

Overview

  • In a brief Tokyo street interview posted by Mystery Fashionist on TikTok, West replied "Life" when asked which fashion trend he regretted.
  • The clip shows him introducing himself as "Ye from Chi," rating his outfit a ten and pointing out his original Yeezy 950 boots.
  • The video has drawn millions of views and worried comments from viewers who described his demeanor as somber.
  • West has made few public appearances recently and has spent extended time overseas following 2022 fallout with brands that cut ties over antisemitic remarks.
  • São Paulo’s mayor warned that anyone making apologies for Nazism or selling swastika merchandise at West’s Nov. 29 show would face arrest.
