Is that you, Ye? Kanye in bizarre prosthetic Caucasian mask with eye makeup for NYC meeting with disgraced ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen - after changing his name to Ye

Kanye West debuted yet another freaky face mask while jetting into New York City on Monday. The rapper, 44, who has legally changed his name to Ye, was spotted at JFK Airport wearing a prosthetic mask bearing the resemblance of a Caucasian person with eye makeup. Despite concealing his highly recognizable face, all eyes were still on Ye as he made his way into a cab.

The haunting plastic mask covered the entirety of his head, but Kanye accessorized it with a black baseball cap and slick grey headphones. He teamed the creepy accessory with a black cap, leather Balenciaga jacket, faded jeans and knee-high boots - the same outfit he was seen wearing in Venice a day earlier.

The rapper was busy on his phone, swiping away on the touch screen with an ungloved hand. Once he shed the face mask, Kanye looked just like any other traveler returning home. ...the rapper was also spotted wearing the mask while meeting up with Trump fixer Michael Cohen in New York on Tuesday, in photos obtained by Page Six. The duo were spotted at Sant Ambroeus Coffee Break at the Lowes Regency Hotel with Israeli judo champ Or Sassoon and 'PR whiz' Ronn Torossian.

'The purpose [of the mask] was so that people would not recognize him … the first 10 minutes we sat down, he was mobbed by people … who wanted photos, and to say hello. So he put on this mask to give him some anonymity, which interestingly enough, did not really work.'

Dunno. There’s been a bunch of comments pulled. Some mod doesn’t like the pic(s) I guess. I post pics from uk dm all the time and they don’t get pulled.

I think more black folks should go around in whiteface.

Sure, why not. They may get some of that white privelege to rub off on them.

I use to drive a Yellow cab in NYC years ago. If someone like that got in my cab, their ass would be out of there in 2 seconds. I use to do it all the time. I refused to drive wackos, the job was hell enough. Anyone gave any hint of trouble, being on drugs, overtly drunk, or just insane, I would drag them out of the cab I didn’t give a damn. One guy pulled a knife on me once and chased me around the cab and I hopped in and drove off lol buh bye wacko

Hes wearing one glove, clearly hes just paying homage to pre transition Michael Jackson.

America, the only country in the world where a poor black boy can grow up to be a rich white woman.

“That irony is probably his point.”

That’s what I thought, too. He is also going to illustrate that NOBODY went nuts because he was in whiteface. He’s calling out and trolling liberal kooks who go insane if a white person dons blackface but say nothing if a black person dons whiteface. It reminds me of the Startrek episode with the bi-color people, black on one side and white on the other.

I created this post and my comment in #1 (which was pulled) was short, just about him being in whiteface. But I included five or six of the photos of him from DM. The mod yanked it without any explanation, but I figure it was the DM photos. My comment was completely innocuous.
