Kanye West covers self in silver paint for opera

American rapper, Kanye West, on Sunday covered himself in silver paint for his opera performance, Mary, which he showed in Miami.

The 42-year-old rapper was spotted wearing a baggy silver outfit with silver face paint covering his entire head and hands, reports Daily Mail.

The Mary opera was performed on a large barge outside of the Miami Marine Stadium.

West took to Twitter on Thursday for a rare tweet where he promoted the opera, which was directed by Nicole Beecroft with music by the Sunday Service choir.

The tweet also included a bible verse Luke 1:30-31, which read, ‘And the angel said unto her, fear not, Mary: For thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus.’

Mary is his second opera, following his debut Nebuchadnezzar.
