On December 10, 2019, American rapper Kanye West made headlines with his latest bizarre stunt, painting his face and hands silver and wearing a matching outfit.
The photo of West, accompanied by a silver costume, went viral on social media, leaving many wondering about his intentions.
West explained on Instagram that the look was part of a costume for an opera play titled Mary, in which he was starring.
“Blending in today. Mary Opera,” West posted alongside the photo on Instagram.
West was not the only one in silver attire; the entire cast of the show was also dressed in the same fashion.
It was not the first time West had staged an opera show, as Mary was his second production, following Nebuchadnezzar, which premiered in November.
Reactions from his fans were mixed, with some expressing confusion and concern for West's well-being, while others found humor in the situation.
