Kanye West’s son, Saint, found himself at the center of a digital storm when his YouTube channel was abruptly deleted, following some eyebrow-raising posts about Kamala Harris, the current Vice President and Presidential hopeful.
The drama began when Saint, the son of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, uploaded videos that were less than flattering towards Kamala Harris. In one video, a photograph of Harris became a canvas for TV characters to voice insults like ‘dumb,’ ‘stupid,’ ‘crazy,’ and ‘dangerous.’
Another clip featured a cartoon character stepping in something unpleasant, only to reveal Harris’s photograph stuck to its shoe. These videos quickly stirred up a storm online, leading to the removal of Saint’s channel.
While it remains a mystery who exactly pulled the plug on Saint’s YouTube presence, the internet was quick to speculate. The ‘yzyupdates’ account, now known as X (formerly Twitter), hinted that Kim Kardashian herself had taken down the channel.
Despite this online setback, Saint isn’t completely out of the spotlight. His image graces the cover of his father Kanye’s upcoming album, ‘Bully.’ Kanye revealed the album cover on Instagram, showcasing a black and white photo of Saint, who was styled with Kanye’s signature grills.
The celebrated Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama, known for his striking black and white art, captured Saint’s image. Kanye’s caption, ‘BULLY cover by Daidō Moriyama,’ paid homage to the artist’s work.
Meanwhile, Kanye has been busy teasing fans about his new music. Earlier this month, he shared a snippet of a song titled ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ which he premiered at his Vultures Listening Experience in China and later updated in Tokyo.
Kanye’s album announcement adds another layer to this unfolding tale, keeping the West family in the headlines even as Saint’s YouTube saga plays out.
Though Saint’s online presence took a hit, the combination of family fame and controversy keeps the spotlight firmly fixed on him. The move to feature him on Kanye’s album cements his position in the cultural zeitgeist, despite the recent YouTube debacle.
