Rapper Kanye West has been on and off Instagram for a long time now but recently his cryptic message left fans wondering if he had negotiations with Balenciaga.  

He has been the talk of the town ever since. His Adidas fallout to divorcing Kim Kardashian he has been cut off from the world. His unfiltered posts or tweets on Instagram attracted a lot of backlash from the internet.

Now after a few months, West has made a comeback online and is making major announcements. 

This time, the Flashing Lights singer shared a picture of a male model who is seen wearing a grey fall turtle neck along with red sunglasses and went on to tag Balenciaga on the post and this might mean he is joining hands with the brand as he seems to have come to terms with them. 

He wrote, "Write a caption," prompting his followers to comment with their views. 

As of now, the post has garnered around 1.3 million likes and 66k comments. Fans are excited and worried about him at the same time. 


Balenciaga and Kanye West Controversy 

Balenciaga has been facing a lot of backlash from the industry as well as the internet for its absurd ad campaign. His ex-wife Kim Kardashian was the brand ambassador for Balenciaga until the luxury fashion brand faced the heat and decided to part ways with them.  

Earlier during the Balenciaga summer 2023 fashion show, West had walked the runway while wearing a battlefield like-gear. Days after the show the brand had cut of all ties with rapper because of anti-Semitic comments. They even removed the picture from their website and this pushed Ye to actually call out all fashion editors which did not end up very well.
