isn't it obvious that he's wearing it because of the way his personal life has been aired out lately
it's to feel more comfortable and it's a statement
yes it is a symbol but if it has any connection with a book that also has people wearing masks over their heads it's because wearing a mask over your head is a symbol that exists in a lot of art and it all means a similar thing
why do people want ye to be so deep? like not everything he does has purpose or meaning. holy s*** remember like april-june 2018 or whatever when everyone was convinced he was supporting trump as a performance art piece? and everyone was like "omg this is just like the coyote locked in the room and andy kaufman! ye is a genius!"
@movinq posted this in the DMX memorial thread like 8 hours ago. surprised it hadn't been dropped here

"Suddenly, someone poked their head in from around the glass on the right side of our suite to tell me something.
“Hey, man. Nice shirt,” he said, referring to the Sunday Service T-shirt I was wearing, and gave me a fist bump.
It was Kanye, and he had arrived in Brooklyn with his Sunday Service choir to honor DMX.
In his suite, Kanye was with Swizz Beatz and Nas. I asked if I could take a photo of him, and he paused for a second. I don’t think he wanted me to take a picture of him posing without his mask on, so I took a few of him watching the stage. “Yeah, like that!” he said, co-signing my poor attempt to capture him making a cameo."

i think because he has a track record of putting a bunch of meaning into s***, the smallest example similar to this is changing up his hair styles during rollouts/when he feels like he couldve died
back then though there was bari and that other dude posting a bunch of cryptic ass things that semi related to what Ye was doing
but also i think we didnt want to believe he was just supporting trump to support trump lol
i dont think theres anything deep about the mask tho
Articles about the DMX service don't even mention him being there in the mask. Job accomplished
