Back When Fans Were Scammed by a ‘Fake’ Kanye West in Poland
Kanye West is perhaps one of the greatest rappers of all time. Unmatched lyricism, incredible production skills, and countless hit albums—we are no strangers to Ye’s legacy. The rapper has a huge fan following around the world and inspired a number of rappers over the years. Even though West has been very controversial, there was a time when everyone was in awe of the rapper. It might surprise you to know, but a YouTuber once fooled the fans after he dressed up as the Flashing Lights hitmaker in 2021.
We are no strangers to Ye’s face-covering masks. Over the years, we witnessed how the masks have become a part of the rapper’s outfits, something even his new wife seems to be picking up, given Bianca Censori’s covered-up appearances. He had been rocking the masks at almost all of his public appearances, and it was almost impossible to see him without it. However, almost a year ago, a fan decided to dress up like Kanye West, covering his face with a black face-covering mask, and made an appearance in Warsaw, Poland.
The individual dressed in such a convincing manner that fans could not help but fall for the trick. Interestingly, shortly after the YouTuber stepped out dressing like the rapper, even the media could not help but fall for it.

Interestingly, the YouTuber even visited a museum where a number of fans clicked pictures of him. He even shared a video of fans calling him Kanye West whilst he was in his car. However, this was not the first time we saw Kanye West involved in a popular prank.
