In a move that only Kanye West could pull off, the rap icon recently met the founder of the renowned Nobu restaurant chain. While they met, he gifted him with an item that's as peculiar as it is uniquely Yeezy. The encounter took place at Dubai's Atlantis Royale, where Kanye crossed paths with none other than Nobu Matsuhisa himself. However, it wasn't a typical celebrity meet-and-greet. In true Kanye fashion, he took the unconventional route and, without missing a beat, gifted the culinary maestro his own Yeezy sock shoes—straight off his feet.
The snapshot capturing this moment promptly made its way to social media. In the photo, Kanye and Nobu can be seen sharing a moment. West is standing barefoot, while Nobu is lifting his leg to the camera to show off his new shoes. The internet thought this was funny and amusing. "Bro thinks he’s Jesus," commented one user, alluding to Kanye's tendency to be unexpected. And his sometimes controversial self-comparisons to biblical figures.
