Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 Today
Kanye West and Drake have been teasing a collaborative album for a while now, and it looks like material from the two rappers may finally come to fruition. Today is West’s Yeezy Season 5 show during New York Fashion Week, and, as FACT points out, GQ writer Jake Woolf posted some merch last night that had the words Lost Hills on it, and followed that up with an invite to the show that teases a “Kanye West & Drake” pairing. It’s unclear exactly what it will entail, but he makes an “assumption it’s just the release of a single,” mostly because Drake is still in the UK on tour. (That’s also why he missed this past weekend’s Grammys. Kanye just didn’t want to go.)

Yeezy Season 5 takes place today at 3PM EST.
UPDATE: The show is now over, and no new West x Drake collaboration emerged, though West did show off more of his ugly clothes (and now bags!) during a show that lasted only 13 minutes, per The Fader. Kanye didn’t even come out until after the show was already over. Sad!
And that's a wrap. #yeezyseason5 show over in 13 minutes; Projections followed by IRL runway looks. #NoDrama pic.twitter.com/ZH3WcdMhg2

#YeezySeason5: Models were projected onto a screen showing the collection then walked the runway. Kanye did not come out afterwards. pic.twitter.com/rzCLc2FdTs
