Kanye West and his companion, Bianca Censori, have been the talk of Italy lately. Notably, West’s choice to go barefoot during their outings, whether it’s a posh dinner or a casual gelato stop, has raised eyebrows. The shoeless saga even continued during a visit to a fabric factory in Prato East.
But is there a deeper motive behind Kanye’s shoeless appearances? Jason Lee, a former employee of West and the current host of Hollywood Unlocked, certainly thinks so. Having worked closely with Kanye as his Head of Media and Partnerships for seven months, Lee believes this is all a calculated PR move.

Kanye’s Power Play Amidst Cancel Culture?
Lee opined, “The buzz around Kanye’s feet is a testament to his enduring influence, even in the face of cancel culture.” He further speculated to Page Six, “It’s a clever tactic. I won’t be shocked if the next time we spot shoes on him, they’re from his own design line.” This theory suggests Kanye’s intent to demonstrate his resilience and relevance, especially given rumors of his imminent return to Twitter and a potential resurgence in the fashion realm.
Twitter’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, commented on Kanye’s anticipated return, emphasizing the platform’s commitment to free expression. However, her statement seemed to miss the mark on the essence of free speech, hinting at a possible misunderstanding of its foundational principles.
