It’s pretty messed up when you consider the original work by Rita Minissi explores identity and was inspired by dealing with personal trauma and a resulting desire to reconnect with her own body. The rapper has been called out for plagiarizing work for his Yeezy label in the past, And even fired a person from his design team after they presented work from Nike designer Tony Spackman as their own. West hasn’t been shy about taking direct inspiration for his art.
