Kanye Makes First Public Appearance Since Hospitalization

By Matthew Strauss.

Kanye West has made his first public appearance since his release from the UCLA Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for over a week in late November “for his own health and safety.” West was spotted at the new Rick Owens: Furniture exhibition at the MOCA Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. He appears to have blonde hair now.

Following his initial release from the hospital, it was reported that West was back home in the care of his wife Kim Kardashian West and his personal physician. Prior to entering the facility, he canceled the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour. Earlier this week, West earned five Grammys 2017 nominations.
