Kanye West COVERS UP Balenciaga logo on his boots with own YE24 sticker – after CRITICIZING Hollywood celebrities for not speaking out against brand following BDSM child images controversy

After his estranged wife Kim Kardashian refused to cut ties with Balenciaga following their BDSM child images controversy, Kanye West has made a statement by covering up their logo with his own.

The 45-year-old artist was seen out in Los Angeles on Sunday sporting a US flag jacket and pair of $1,100 Balenciaga rainboots with the branding covered by a sticker which read ‘YE24.’

This came after the father-of-four criticized Hollywood celebrities for not speaking out against the Spanish high-fashion label.

Ye has been busy as on Sunday evening he was seen at dinner with fellow ex of Kim Kardashian Ray J, 41, and right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulous at Giorgio Baldi in Pacific Palisades.

Speaking of Kanye’s 42-year-old ex Kim, she has come under fire for  refusing to cut ties with the fashion house Balenciaga, despite a controversy that saw the company linked to a shoot that placed children alongside BDSM-themed items.

The SKIMS mogul finally broke her silence on Sunday night, denouncing the brand, with whom she frequently collaborates and has essentially become the face of, noting how she was ‘shaken’ and ‘disgusted’ to see the images.

Kardashian,  who has been in business with the company for several years spoke out days after the company had already apologized for the scandal. She is often seen wearing Balenciaga to major events and has featured in several of the brand’s campaigns in the past.

But on social media, users appeared skeptical of Kardashian’s statement which took days to prepare, with many suggesting that it was not sincere and that she was waiting and hoping for things to blow over. Many said that only a complete cutting of ties with the Spanish brand would now be appropriate.

She issued it last night, saying: ‘I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened. Kardashian said in a statement on her Instagram page.
