When he made a surprise cameo at the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday night, Kanye West made a not-so-subtle allusion to Kim Kardashian.
West made an appearance at the awards ceremony to commemorate his friend Sean “Diddy” Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, while dressed entirely in black. He mentioned his own “life choices” and “marriage choices” when paying tribute, which sparked a giggle from the audience and a stir on social media.
Kardashian and West split in 2021, and their divorce was officially finalized this year. Although West has been outspoken about his distaste for the comedian, Kardashian has been seeing SNL star Pete Davidson since their breakup.
West assisted in introducing Combs to the stage at the BET Awards so that he could receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
People on social media talked about West’s remarks and the fact that his mouth and face were hidden by his attire.
Reddit users remarked on how “light-hearted” West’s tweet appeared to be, even though he has previously made threats against Davidson in song lyrics that seemed to reflect his anger at the circumstance.
West had a full black mask covering his face while speaking on stage; he also wore sunglasses, a cap, a coat, and pants.
Some social media users made fun of his appearance, while others noted how he appeared to be short of breath while speaking. They explained this by stating how warm he must have been while wearing all that clothes.
At the BET Awards, West spoke for more than five minutes in honor of Combs. In response to a question about his recent absence, he said that while he had intended to disappear for a year, “Puff is extremely persistent.”
West kept going: “He dismantled numerous barriers of classism, taste, and swag. Puff, you’re my brother even if I’ve never told you that I love you.”
