Yasiin Bey has been called a hypocrite by Drake fans for performing at Paris Fashion Week, just days after criticizing the Canadian superstar’s music and artistic intentions.
Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, delivered a one-man performance at fashion designer Wales Bonner’s Fall/Winter 2024 show in the French capital on Wednesday (January 17) while the models strutted the catwalk.
Bey performed his classic song “Mathematics,” as well as a new track described in the show’s pamphlet as an “original work” created with producer Rashad “Ringo” Smith and “inspired by the evolution of cosmic and conscious expression.”
