Kanye West is busy getting ready for his upcoming Yeezy SZN 10 fashion show, and it looks like he’s going to have his apparel worn by all bald models.
According to TMZ, Ye held auditions for the forthcoming event in Downtown Los Angeles on Friday (April 28). A long line of men and women with bald crowns waited as they made their way into the low-key building for a shot at modeling in the annual event.

Kanye West has been known to rock an assortment of hairstyles over the last 20 years, including his signature low fade that almost resembles a bald look.
Logic recently recalled one of Kanye’s more controversial stunts from last year when the artist wore a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt during his YZY Season 9 experience in Paris, France.

On Wednesday (April 26), during a vlog post on his YouTube channel, Logic reflected on some of the backlash he’s received over the years, and said that at least he wasn’t wearing “White Lives Matter T-shirts” and doing “dumb shit.”
“It’s kinda dope to realize the more people talking about me, positive or negative, makes me more rich,” Logic said. “Only I’m not like evil, so I’m not out here spewing bullshit out of my mouth or wearing White Lives Matter t-shirts or some dumb shit like that. Fucking moron.”

He continued: “Love Kanye by the way, [just a] stupid fucking idea. Let me preface that. I love Kanye West I think he’s a genius I wouldn’t be here without him. I can have a fucking opinion, and as long as my opinion is respectful and from the heart then it is what it is.
Facing a sea of backlash, the contentious shirt would kickstart Kanye West’s now notorious slew of anti-semitic controversies, which all began after he told Tucker Carlson in an interview on Fox News that he found his Paris Fashion Week stunt to be “funny.”
“My favorite response, ’cause I kept on thinking, ‘They’re looking for an explanation,” Ye said in part. “And people say, ‘Well, as an artist, you don’t have to give an explanation, but as a leader, you do.’ So the answer to why I wrote ‘White Lives Matter’ on a shirt is, because they do. It’s the obvious thing.”
Meanwhile, Kanye West’s recent antics have been turned into an upcoming BBC documentary which promises to uncover “revelations” about the Chicago-bred mogul.
According to Variety, We Need to Talk About Kanye has been sold to several different countries after BBC originally ordered the doc in February. Various networks in Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Finland have secured rights to the doc.
