Original Note:
Kanye has used this hood since at least 2013, when he released a song named BLKKK SKKKN HEAD. The hood is also a known capirote costume worn for centuries by Catholic penitents for Holy Week processions, although the repeating K’s in the song title don’t support this context. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2373655/Kanye-Wests-Black-Skinhead-video-features-3-black-Ku-Klux-Klan-style-hoods.html
