He also wore matching silver socks at the event, which was held at Miami Marine Stadium on Sunday afternoon on the final day of Art Basel.

His performance, which also stars his “Sunday Service Collective,” was directed by Vanessa Beecroft. The show started an hour late because the boat was the only way to reach the stadium. For their performance, the choir was dressed in silver robes and silver face paint.

After his performance, West and his team visited his friend Rich Wilkerson’s VOUS church in Wynwood. Wilkerson officiated Kim Kardashian and West’s wedding in 2014.

West and his choir performed more songs at the church, including Ye’s latest, “Jesus Walks.” This time, the singers were dressed in navy blue and black outfits. West wore sunglasses throughout. Wilkerson came on stage and hugged his friend.
