Kanye West is one of those names that is constantly headlining every newspaper or media outlet. However, the main reason that the rapper keeps going viral is because of social media. From the paparazzi to him and his wife, Bianca Censori, being the center of attention wherever they go, it is no surprise that every time anyone comes online, there is a new Kanye West update. But whether you love or hate the artist and his behavior, it is hard to deny that the man has impeccable taste.

After styling himself and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, for years, and his twenty-four Grammy wins, it is evident that Kanye West may be a creative genius. But following the rapper’s inappropriate behavior on his Italy trip, fans cannot help but reminisce over the Yeezy creator’s dinner with a celebrity chef in 2021.

Remember Kanye West’s sit-down dinner with an Italian chef?

Back in 2021, before Ye and Kim Kardashian split up, the rapper had taken a trip to Venice. While his being there was not all that surprising, the real shocker came when a video took over the internet. The video featured the rapper grabbing dinner with a Gucci celebrated chef, Massimo Bottura, in a Twitter post by Donda Times.

Kanye West said, “Let’s bring the wine. Come on, let’s eat together,” while smiling at the chef. Once the rapper walked off camera, Massimo Bottura could be heard saying, “wait, wait, wait” after which he switched to his native language. The reason that the video has come back into circulation now is due to the rapper’s recent ban in Italy.

While Bianca Censori and Kanye West might be known for their lavish getaways, the couple may have taken things a little too far. During their recent trip to Italy, Censori was the source of all the gossip for her skimpy outfits, but eventually, the rapper ended up out-doing her.

Kanye West fans turn a blind eye to rappers’ bad behavior

It seems the sudden reminiscing was sparked by Kanye West’s date with his wife, which landed them in an Italian restaurant. The couple recently dined in Gucci’s Osteria da Massimo Bottura in Florence, which probably prompted the memories to pop back up. However, instead of drawing a connection between the instances, fans seem more caught up with the rapper’s choice of words.

Yet some of the rapper’s fans seem to think that the post might be in reference to Ye’s upcoming album that is in the works.

While others could only focus on the fact that Kanye West had met the Italian legend, Massimo Bottura.

Unfortunately, fans are still in for a wait before West lets them in on his plans for the new album, or his next move. But from what we have seen from the couple so far, it would not surprise anyone if they ended up in the spotlight again.
