There is something in the Tokyo air that has Kanye West opening the doors of his creative brilliance again as he meets yet another artist.

Kanye West Takes His Tokyo Staycation up a Notch as He Poses With His Yeezy Partner in Crime

It was sometime in May after the hoo-ha surrounding his controversies had begun
to fade into a pool of excitement for his version of Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’
era that Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] took his
wife’s hand and passport to go on a trip to Tokyo. But as May transitioned into
June and June made way for July all without any signs of the Grammy winner
returning to his home ground, it can be deduced that both Ye and his return
ticket have gotten lost in the infectious energy of Tokyo’s bustling street.

As fans in Tokyo match heartbeats with the musical maverick as they walk
shoulder to shoulder with him on the streets, it has come to attention that Ye
is not the only American elite in Tokyo right now.


WHAT IS KANYE WEST DOING IN TOKYO?

At a time when fans are on their toes for his comeback, a visit lasting more
than months in a country known for its creative hubs, the use of the side eye
emoji by several artists as they hint at going to Tokyo

and the man of the hour himself posing with partners he has previously created
magic with is simply too iconic to be a coincidence. But his recent meeting with
the modern reincarnation of the little shoemaking geniuses from the classic
folklore about the elves and the shoemaker, Salehe Bembury, hints that Kanye
West may be making more than just songs.

The shoemaking maestro in question has previously worked with Kanye West for one
of his most-hailed Yeezy collections. And it was through his collaboration with
Yeezy that Bembury got himself a seat as the vice president of sneakers and
men’s footwear in Versace.

Given that the once business maestro got Nike to sign him by simply drawing his
designs on an hour-long flight, it would not take much for Kanye West to
convince Salehe Bembury to work with him, given their history.


ARE YE AND SALEHE BEMBURY WORKING TOGETHER?

It was in 2016 when the Atlanta-born rapper was reaping the glass-breaking
success of Yeezy Season 2 that he scouted then-lesser-known footwear designer,
Salehe Bembury. The collaboration worked like a charm for both sides as Yeezy
Seasons 3 and 4 went on to become a success. However, it seems after that the
rapper developed an affinity for controversies at the same time Versace did for
Bembury.



Now, as the rapper looks to stand on his own in the cut-throat world of fashion,
it is very likely that he will put his trust in the tried and tested brilliance
of Versace’s vice president of men’s footwear. While we are still waiting for
confirmation on this, what is clear is that at this point is that you cannot
take Kanye West out of Tokyo, and you definitely cannot take Tokyo out of the
rapper.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
