Like him or hate him, but you cannot avoid Kanye West. Even Jaden Smith, who walked out on him once, was seen singing his song. Now the ‘Donda’ singer was always known for two things- his ability to sing, and his ability to be vocal. Right from calling out former President George W. Bush and snatching mike from Taylor Swift to making anti-Semitic comments, the singer remains unstoppable.

Of course, West’s last controversy left him banned from several websites, performances, as well as fashion events. Celebrities spoke up against him, with some even refusing to stand by him through his actions. One such person was Jaden Smith. The incident took place at the Paris fashion show last year, but the scene looked a bit different this time.

It was almost like a Déjà vu moment with a slight difference at this year’s fashion event in Paris. Big celebrities like Beyonce, Lewis Hamilton, Kim Kardashian, and the Smith children attended the event. Jaden Smith shared posts of him, enjoying the event, signing and clicking photos with his sister. One such clip also showed him singing Ye’s ‘N*ggas in Paris’ song. The song is one of the singer’s biggest hits, which was made with Jay-Z and recently earned the Diamond Certification.

The singer signing Ye’s song comes as a surprise considering how things went last year. While considered a fashionista, Ye turned up at the Paris show in 2022 wearing a White Lives Matter t-shirt. It was a sensitive subject for many, as he wore it as a retaliation to the Black Lives Matter moment. The ‘Icon’ singer took offense and walked out in an act of protest.

The aftermath of it all was certainly not in Ye’s favor. That was one of his last acts before going underground.

Even his former mother-in-law sided with Jaden Smith when he walked out of West’s YZY. The 24-year-old also expressed about not supporting Ye in a now-deleted Tweet. Their opinions were certainly the polar opposites of each other, although even he cannot help but groove to Ye’s music.

As for the designer, he remained absent from the Louis Vuitton show while his former wife attended the event. Notably, Kanye West is busy building his Yeezy brand independently.
