    Kanye West Has Started Hiding His Face And Fans Think They Know Why (And It's Not COVID)

    Kanye West has, in recent times, taken to wearing a full face covering, and at least one fan thinks they know the reason why he's covering his full face.

    Twitter user @weareallwater thinks that Kanye is hiding his face because of a book written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Minister's Black Veil.

    The Minister's Black Veil features Reverend Mr.Hooper, who never takes his face covering after delivering a sermon, with the reasoning relating to the concept of hidden sin.

    Analysis of the short story suggests that Nathaniel intended for the veil to be a visual representation of human sin. However, Nathaniel never actually explained the meaning behind the story, so it's open to interpretation.

    Kanye's Sunday Service choir recently performed at DMX's Celebration Of Life memorial, with Kanye keeping a low profile while on the keyboard. He's wearing a Harley Davidson shirt that he's turned into a mask.

    Kanye raised $1 million USD for DMX's family after the Yeezy label sold a shirt designed by Balenciaga to honour DMX, and you can see the design below (though, it's sold out).

    Whether we see Kanye's face again for a while remains a mystery. He's always been a couple of steps ahead of everyone else, and we think that this might be the start of a new era for Kanye's music.
