Over the years, Kanye West may have been in the spotlight due to various controversies. However, recently he has made waves with his promise of new music. While that unfortunately got delayed, the rapper is now gaining attention for spending Thanksgiving in Dubai with his four children and Kim Kardashian. Now, during his visit, not only did he pop in at one of his favorite restaurants, Nobu, but he also ended up giving the founder of the chain a special gift.

While the gift definitely caught everyone’s attention, the rapper ended up going a step above the rest with a surprisingly sweet gesture.

Kanye West’s special gift for chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), they revealed that Ye had given Nobuyuki Matsuhisa his very own Yeezy sock sneakers. The 46-year-old took it a step further by giving him the shoes that he had on. It is no surprise that the ‘Donda’ creator can be a little eccentric. However, this was not something that anyone had seen coming. In fact, it could be said even Ye probably did not know his plans until they unfolded.

In the pictures that made their way online, the rapper could be seen wearing his signature black-on-black out-of-the-box outfit. While his fashion taste seems to have dipped down in comparison to his unique outfits once upon a time, it was the first time in a while that fans had seen him with such a bright grin. However, there was no sign of his children, who were said to be spending the day with him while Bianca Censori took a break.

The news of his gift-giving came shortly after the icon had ditched his shoes for something a little bit more comfortable in Dubai.

Kanye West’s sneaker ditch

Earlier this month, Kanye West was spotted by fans as he made his way through a luxurious hotel in Dubai. While the sight of him immediately sent them into a frenzy, a video showed that the rapper had ditched his Yeezys in his room. However, it was the fact that he was walking around barefoot that had left the internet extremely confused. Although it should not come as much of a surprise given his time with Bianca Censori in Italy earlier this summer.

From Ye walking around barefoot in Italy to his wife using a pillow as her top of choice, netizens thought it would be quite a while until another trip matched their Italy vacation. However, as news pours in from his trip to the Middle East, Kanye West has once again acted against popular belief.
