The American rapper and producer Kanye West (43) currently resides in Antwerp. He would collaborate with Givenchy designer Matthew M. Williams on the release of his new Nike shoes, the Nike MMW Zoom 4. Kanye has been seen several times in the city in recent days: he stays in the Julien hotel and for a dinner he went to restaurant Veranda.
Images of Kanye West in Antwerp have been appearing since last Friday. He was seen in De Cluyse on the Oude Koornmarkt, near the cathedral. The property is owned by the Belgian interior designer Axel Vervoordt. It is no secret that West is a big fan of Vervoordt: a few years ago the seventies was allowed to fully furnish West’s house. That is how the American musician ended up in Antwerp.
According to our information, West stayed overnight at hotel Julien, a 4-star hotel in the center. For his dinner, Kim Kardashian’s husband went to restaurant Veranda: manager Davy Schellemans shared a photo on Instagram on Monday evening, in which he can be seen together with the rapper. “Kanye tested negative for Covid-19 and positive for eating Veranda,” he wrote with that photo.
Whether West was served his dinner at the table (which would mean a violation of the corona measures), or whether he only went to collect a meal, is not known. His entourage does not officially want to say why he is in our country, although this may have to do with the release of new Nike shoes. The Instagram page of fashion designer Matthew M. Williams posted a photo of the designer and West in De Cluyse and a photo where Williams wrote: “After 2 years of design and development, I am very happy that the new Nike shoe can be released the name Nike MMW Zoom 4. ”
