Kanye West has appeared to double down on his support of Marilyn Manson, wearing a shirt featuring the singer’s face to a party he attended with Diddy.
Manson has been accused of sexual assault, misconduct and abuse by multiple women in the past year, including his former partner Evan Rachel Wood. He has consistently denied the allegations, calling them âhorrible distortions of realityâ.
West controversially brought out the musician and rapper DaBaby at a listening party for new album âDONDAâ at Soldier Field in Chicago last month. When the album in question finally dropped, Manson was credited as a co-writer on the songs âJailâ and âJail Pt. 2â.
In pictures shared on Instagram by Diddy, Kanye â wearing a balaclava that covers his entire face â sported a Vetements shirt featuring a photo of Manson.
The appearance of Marilyn Manson at the Chicago âDONDAâ event sparked significant backlash online.
Manson appeared on the stoop of a church-like structure West built in the centre of the stadium. When photos of the construction of the structure circulated online before the event, many noted its resemblance to Westâs childhood home.
Manson’s ex-wife Wood also appeared to respond to the appearance on social media. A few hours after Westâs album arrived, Wood shared a video of her covering The New Radicalsâ âYou Get What You Giveâ at a recent show in Hollywood.
In the caption, she quoted the songâs title and added: âFor my fellow survivors who got slapped in the face this week. I love you. Donât give up.â
Last week saw a previously dismissed sexual assault lawsuit against Manson re-filed in a US court.
