Fans figure out bizarre reason why Kanye West was at Inter Milan’s Champions League tie

Kanye West made a guest appearance at the San Siro on Tuesday night for Inter Milan's Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.

However, Inter ultras group Curva Nord Milano have choir vocal credits on two songs from West's recent album with fellow rapper Ty Dolla $ign 'Vultures 1'.

Fans on social media were quick to notice this as one on X said: "He’s an Inter fan for sure. Literally had Inter fans on his album."

"Inter featuring Kanye.. gonna be lit," added a second.

A third said: "It’s cuz he sampled the Inter Milan fans on one of his tracks."

"Can't wait for the next vultures album where he drops a line about Lautaro [Martinez] or [Antoine] Griezmann," joked a fourth.

West's appearance is not the first time has crossed over into football in recent months.

He sent social media into meltdown after posting a picture of himself wearing the Portsmouth goalkeeper shirt from the 1996/97 season.

The rapper was also spotted wearing a grey and red Manchester United jumper from the 1990s in early 2023.
