Kanye West continues to try and hide his face in latest photos surfacing again from Italy as fans are reminded why he chooses to go incognito

As Kanye West Is Spotted in Italy Covering His Face Fans Are Reminded of the Peculiar Reason Why the Rapper Does So

Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] is no stranger to
being the newsmaker. However, apparently, the rapper does not want to make a
face while doing it so! After months of being in Japan, the rapper was spotted
in Italy a few weeks ago. Now, it seems he has stuck a base up there. In a fresh
batch of photos, the rapper is seen somewhere in Italy with a ‘hood’ of sorts
draped over his head. 

In the two photos, West is seen in his trademark all-black outfit. A black
jacket complimented with a pendant and highlighted by a headgear that winds over
to cover his face. The headgear covering most of his face, much like the
all-black outfit, is the least camera-shy out of all of Ye’s outfits.

This is not the first time the Donda rapper has been spotted with a mask
covering his face. In fact, Ye has been advocating for masks way before the
pandemic made them mandatory.

It was back in 2012 when Kanye West famously sported a mask covering his entire
face during the live show. But in lieu of questioning him, his then-wife, Kim
Kardashian [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kim-kardashian/], chose to support
him by doing the same. In fact, she even incorporated the trademark Ye trend
during her iconic 2021 Met Gala appearance.

If the recent outing are anything to go by, it seems that Bianca Censori is
doing the same

These masks and Kanye West’s affinity towards them is surprisingly also for
precautionary reason. But precaution has very different meanings for a
self-titled genius and ordinary people.


WHY DOES KANYE WEST WEAR A MASK TO COVER HIS FACE?

Contrary to what people may assume from these mask-clad photos of Kanye West, he
does not hide his face from media scrutiny. Rather, the reason is somewhat
different altogether! A while back, West had once explained his rationale behind
wearing a “mask” or hiding his face while in public. In a rather hilarious
incident, West, while still being on auto-tune, went on to say that he hid his
face because he does not want people “to get the wrong shot” of his face.

West said that he stays out-focused when ‘unmasked’ as then people capture many
angles and expressions of his face that might be awkward or might not really
resemble himself. Who knew that behind this mask-wearing practice that had
everyone from conspiracy theorists to plastic surgeons raising their eyebrows
was such a hilarious reason.
