Kanye West was just accused of plagiarism again.

Ye’s Yeezy label was under fire just last month due to Nike designer, Tony Spackman, calling out Kanye for plagiarizing his sketches. Kanye dodged the bullet by firing the person he said was responsible.

Now, the Instagram account @diet_prada, claims Kanye has once again blatantly copied a series of photos that he used to promote his Yeezy Season Six line.

Kanye has since tweeted out what looks to be his explanation for the work, but it still all seems a little bit too similar.

Would you consider the work to be basically the same, or would you say that this is just Kanye being an artist?
