Kanye West made a rare public appearance with all four of his children at his latest Yeezy Fashion Show this week, accompanied by his wife Bianca Censori, who wore a daring outfit.
The 49-year-old rapper shares all four children with Kim Kardashian. He is often photographed with his eldest daughter North, 13, but rarely with Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven. At the show, Kanye arrived with all four and was seen smiling widely as they posed for pictures together.
Family outfits at the show
Kanye wore an all-black leather outfit with a gold belt, while North also dressed in all black, adding a pop of colour with her blue hair. The other three children wore grey and cream loungewear.
Bianca Censori wore a cream bodysuit with a zip down the middle that was pulled below the navel, showing off her midriff and cleavage. She posed both solo and with North.
Yeezy's return after four years
The family gathered in Los Angeles as Kanye showcased his brand's first lot of new looks in four years. To celebrate Yeezy's return, several of Kanye's friends attended the show, including fellow rapper Kid Cudi and comedian Quenlin Blackwell. Kanye and Kid Cudi have collaborated before on the 2018 album Kids See Ghosts. Kid Cudi was dressed strikingly differently from the rest of the guests, turning up in a grey suit.
The show comes just weeks after Kanye suffered a blow as two of his concerts in Russia were cancelled. The rapper was supposed to perform in St Petersburg on 10 and 11 October, but there was uncertainty after the venue, Gazprom Arena, said it wouldn't host him.
Russian concerts axed
Organisers Say Agency later confirmed that the concerts have been axed. They said: “Friends, it is with sincere regret that we inform you that the Ye concerts in Saint Petersburg on the scheduled dates will not be able to take place.
“In the near future, we will reach out to you with an official statement regarding the status of the project and future plans. Say Agency is very grateful to everyone who has been by our side these past month and a half: supporting us, worrying, and, like us, waiting for these concerts with all their hearts. We remain in touch and continue to work.”
Weeks of uncertainty had preceded the decision, following a statement from Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. Maria Zakharova called the planned shows unacceptable over comments the 49-year-old rapper had made about Hitler.
Last year, West released a song called Heil Hitler, along with swastika T-shirts. In January, he apologised via a full-page advert in the Wall Street Journal, where he said: “I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.”
He added that his bipolar disorder had caused a "four-month long manic episode of psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behaviour" that "destroyed" his life.
