Kanye West‘s again in his hockey masks period … ‘trigger he stepped onto a music video set in a Jason Voorhees-style masks — and it would not appear to be a part of the costume.

Here is the deal … Ye stepped out Saturday alongside his spouse Bianca to shoot a vid with Playboi Carti and Luka Sabbat — and he did not let photogs get a shot of his face, protecting it with an enormous white hockey masks.

Bianca — clad in a transparent raincoat and white bodysuit — drove a truck with Playboi Carti and Luka Sabbat hanging out within the again. PBC’s in a fairly wild outfit too … black face paint and a white hooded-outfit on.

Ye’s look is actual eccentric … which some followers could chalk as much as capturing a vid — as we beforehand reported … Kanye carried out with Travis Scott in Orlando Wednesday in a really related masks, so it could appear to be all a stage persona.

However, Ye additionally determined to decorate with the masks when he hit up his son Saint‘s basketball recreation Friday evening … and, until he sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” earlier than the sport, it appears he is simply having fun with the look.

We have seen Kanye going with the masked-up look everywhere in the world not too long ago — simply final week we talked to him on the road when he was in a single — however these are largely black fabric masks.

That is extra of a throwback to the masks he was donning a number of years in the past … a little bit bulkier and extra attention-grabbing.

It appears unclear precisely why he is masking up like this … although his new album “Vultures” is meant to lastly drop later this month — so perhaps that is some kind of promotional tactic?
