Ye Posts Photo of KKK Robe After Announcing Return of Sunday Service: ‘Outfit of the Day’
Ye has announced the return of Sunday Service.
On Saturday (March 8), the 47-year-old rapper — formerly known as Kanye West — took to social media to reveal that his Sunday Service choir events would be making a comeback.
“Sunday Service Returns March 16 2025,” Ye wrote in an Instagram Stories post, accompanied by a screenshot of a text message exchange with Sunday Service choir director Jason White.
Further details had not been revealed as of press time.
Just hours after the Sunday Service announcement, the Chicago native, who recently made controversial remarks online regarding antisemitism and admiration for Hitler, posted a photo of white robes resembling those worn by the Ku Klux Klan white supremacist group.
“Outfit of the day,” Ye captioned the photo on Instagram Sunday (March 9).
Ye’s Sunday Service sessions began in early 2019 and ran sporadically through 2021. The events — often livestreamed — featured his gospel group performing at large gatherings in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Houston, Salt Lake City and Washington, D.C.
The rapper’s spiritually-based project Jesus Is Born, credited to the Sunday Service Choir, was released in December 2019 and reached No. 2 on Billboard‘s Top Gospel Albums chart.
In recent days, Ye has continued making offensive remarks on social media, including a post on March 6 to X, where he wrote, “This next album got that antisemitic sound. My new sound called antisemitic.”
It is unclear if this is related to the release of his Bully album, which he teased at the beginning of 2025. He appeared to have plans to release Bully sometime this year, but it remains uncertain if the project will ever be released.
In February, Ye also made several antisemitic comments and expressed admiration for Hitler, though he later walked back his statements, insisting that he wasn’t a Nazi. During an interview with Justin LaBoy in February, the rapper revealed that he was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder).
