As the artist formerly known as Kanye West stages his return to Los Angeles tonight (April 3), we’re learning more about who helped bring the first show to SoFi Stadium earlier this week.
For the performance, which saw Ye running through highlights from across his catalog, the 24-time Grammy winner opted for a custom look credited to the MOUS MOUS label, based in L.A.
Its founder, designer Moustapha Diagne, has also been credited as Ye’s Senior Pattern Designer.

For the show in question’s stage design, Ye again turned to frequent collaborator Aus Taylor, who described his role as being “just a vessel” for the larger idea.
On the horizon for Ye after his pair of L.A. shows is a three-night run as part of the 2026 Wireless Festival in London. In March, the long-teased Bully was given an official release, preceded two months earlier by a full-page Wall Street Journal ad in which Ye detailed his struggles with bipolar disorder, and more.
“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change,” Ye wrote at the time, as seen here. “It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.”
There has been speculation that Ye may go with a completely different setlist for his second round in Los Angeles on Friday. Night one saw him reaching as far back as The College Dropout, all the way up to Bully. “Everybody,” a Backstreet Boys-interpolating Vultures-era track, was also given a spot despite its lack of an official release.
