The Yeezy Season 3 Extravaganza — Kanye West’s New York Fashion Week show for his Adidas sportswear collection coupled with the debut of his new album — has taken over social media.

Why?

For starters, Lamar Odom made his return to the public.

The former NBA star, who was in critical condition at a Las Vegas hospital after being found unconcious at a brothel, was moved from a Los Angeles hospital to a private facility in January.

Khloe Kardashian — West’s sister-in-law and Odom’s estranged wife — has reportedly been by Odom’s side throughout his recovery.

West walked Odom to his seat with the Kardashian-Jenner family, and the cheering crowd at Madison Square Garden shouted Odom’s name, according to the Associated Press.
