Gosha Rubchinskiy was previously accused of allegedly soliciting photos from a minor.

Kanye West is going to be dropping a brand-new album on Friday with Ty Dolla Sign. Overall, Vultures is supposed to be the last big album of the year. However, there are fears that the project will be a complete mess. Furthermore, Ye is still pushing his Nazi side, which has left a lot of fans feeling hopeless. At this point, Ye is going for pure shock value, and he will associate with anyone if he feels like it will cause a stir. Well, that is exactly what he is doing with his Yeezy brand and its new Head of Design.

Yesterday, Ye took to Twitter for the first time in months. It was here where he revealed that Gosha Rubchinskiy would become the new head of design at Yeezy. Overall, Gosha is a big name in the design world, however, he was recently forced into an exile of sorts after being accused of allegedly soliciting photos from a 16-year-old. Although Gosha denies that he did anything wrong, there are still fans who believe this hiring is beyond the pale. That said, Gosha has expressed excitement about the new position, over on his Instagram account.
