Kanye West Mocks The Late Queen?
Kanye West recently shared a photoshopped picture of the late Queen Elizabeth II as a tribute after her death. Yet, is it really a tribute or mockery? The queen left the mortal world on September 8, 2022, and was succeeded by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla. Among the ones that mourned the death of the Queen was Kanye who revealed that it reminded him about how fragile life can be.

He superimposed the image with massive, silver shades from his Yeezy x Gap collaboration collection. More so, these shades are yet to be out on the market. This alien-like eyewear has been promoted in the past by his ex Kim Kardashian and daughter North West in the past.

“Sometimes I look at Twitter the second I wake up and later wonder if I was dreaming or not, did Kanye post on IG the queen photoshopped with YZY glasses or was I still between realms,” wrote the fourth user.

However, this isn’t the first time Kanye has posted this picture on his Instagram Story. Right after the Queen’s death, he posted this very same picture on Instagram but later deleted it after backlash from fans. So, why did he re-upload the photoshopped picture once again? Was it a tribute or a mockery of the departed soul?
