Kanye West Makes Surprise Appearance At BET 2022 Awards

The 45-year-old rapper startled the crowd when he entered the stage wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a hat that entirely hid his face. Kanye West referred to Diddy, 52, as a “king” and said that over the years, he has sought his ‘guidance.’ “He inspires so many of my choices, so many of my life choices. My wife’s choices,” the fashion designer remarked, notably continuing to refer to Kim Kardashian as his wife despite being legally unmarried since their divorce was finalized in March. “Thanks for that, Puff.”

In order to explain his little break, Kanye West said, “I said, ‘I just want to declare myself legally dead for a year. I just want to be off the grid.’ Puff is pretty persistent, but I had to think, bro, it’s like, people get amnesia.” “Like, I should never have Puff have to ever call more than one time,” West added. “Any of us in this room, if Puff ever needs us, we need to jump and be there. This man has been through [and] survived a lot of stuff and broke down a lot of doors so we can be standing. He broke down so many doors of classism, taste, swag.”

Before the two of them hugged, West referred to Diddy as his ‘brother.’ Since being barred from singing at the Grammy Awards in April, Kanye’s address was his first appearance on an awards programme. West missed the event because he was prevented from entering the stage because of his ‘concerning online behaviour.’ West was nominated for five Grammys. The choice was made shortly after Trevor Noah was racially slurred by the ‘Donda’ rapper in a since-deleted Instagram post.

Ye and Noah, the host of “The Daily Show,” have been at odds since Noah accused Ye of “harassing” Kardashian online. Following this, West’s account was removed from the platform for 24 hours due to a violation of the hate speech, bullying, and harassment standards. Regarding West’s persistent criticisms of the “Kardashians” actress and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, Noah stated on his programme in March, “What we’re seeing is one of the most powerful, one of the richest women in the world, unable to get her ex to stop texting her, to stop chasing after her, to stop harassing her.”
