Drink Champs<\/em> host NORE was later seen wearing the shirt<\/a>. Over the weekend, West was spotted wearing another shirt that depicted Emory’s mouth being covered by a white hand wearing an American stars and stripes shirt.<\/p>\nConnor’s re-emergence in West’s inner circle is surprising, considering the stylist hasn’t been publicly linked to West since around 2016. Prior to that, Connor was labeled as West’s fashion muse, modeling in his Yeezy shows and serving as a consultant for the brand.<\/p>\n
The then-23-year-old was hip-hop’s go-to fashion stylist and consultant, frequently working with A$AP Rocky and the A$AP Mob at the peak of their influence, and was close with Abloh, whose Off-White label was developing a cult following. Connor has posed for Vogue Italy<\/em>was frequently featured in Hypebeast, and launched the successful Sick\u00f6 clothing brand, which has been worn by Skepta, Zack Bia, and others.<\/p>\nBut in June 2016, rapper Theophilus London claimed West had fired Connor. The distancing from Connor also coined with at least a half-a-dozen women \u2014 including Chicago artist Jean Deaux<\/span>\u2014 coming forward to accuse Connor of sexual assault.

Any forced situation is not cool.\u201d Connor did not immediately reply to Rolling Stone<\/em>‘s request for comment.)<\/p>\nAmber Rose, who dated West from 2008 to 2010, claimed to The Daily Beast<\/em> in 2018 that 21 women had privately reached out to her about Connor, saying she was disappointed that more men in the industry hadn’t addressed the accusations. \u201cI don’t know why [Connor\u2019s] still walking around,\u201d she said. \u201cI’m disgusted with him, because I truly believe that he did everything that they said he did. It’s really, really sad.\u201d<\/p>\nBest of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\nClick here to read the full article. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
