Amid the fervor of flashing cameras and excited fans, Kanye West, who legally changed his name to Ye, had a brief interaction with a young fan that has made the internet believe he is way too rigid about his repertoire.
The rapper was in France for the Paris Fashion Week 2024 when he decided to take a few moments to interact with some of his fans.
As he navigated through the small crowd of admirers, Ye spotted a young fan who had a little notebook open with the hopes of taking back home an autograph from the renowned musician. However, the internet shook their heads with disappointment when Ye refused to use the girl’s bunny-shaped pink and white pen.
“Y’all gonna make me hold a bunny pen?” Ye was heard saying in the now-viral video.

Rejecting the bunny-shaped pen with some light disapproval, he turned to the crowd with the hope of finding a more Ye-approved pen.
“Nobody else got another pen?” asked Ye.
Fans were surprised at how image-conscious Ye could be, refusing to engage in anything that might dent his persona.
“Bro got beef with bunny pens,” one TikTok user said while another chimed in, “Ye not rockin’ with bunny pens!?”

Some netizens commented on Ye’s demeanor as he roamed through Paris with his wife Bianca Censori.
“Kanye is a nice and kind person he was answering all questions,” one comment said.
Another wrote, “Did you see the twinkle in Kanye’s eye when someone said: ‘I love you’. Even if it’s from a stranger, you could see that it softened him.”
Ye and Bianca’s visit to Paris made headlines across the world after the latter made an unconventional fashion statement on Tuesday. The 29-year-old had forgone underwear as she stepped out in a sheer outfit, leaving little to the imagination.
