Kanye West is reportedly "trying too hard" in his new relationship with girlfriend Julia Fox.
The 44-year-old rapper, who legally changed his name to "Ye", appeared to make a very over the top gesture to the actress and "at least ten of her pals" in recent days, as he splurged on Birkin bags for the group.
The bags are said to be worth $30k (£22k) each.
The speculation comes from a fan Instagram account - PhotosofKanye - which stated: "Ye gifted Julia Fox and her friends a bunch of Baby Birkins for her birthday last night (2.2.22)."
The page shared a video of Julia and her friends holding and showing off their new gifts as Kanye posed alongside them.
Followers of the page slammed the rapper's gesture in the comments, with some people saying their relationship looks "fake as f**k".
"This s**t all look like a mess get back into album mode bro," one wrote.
Another criticised: "Idk why but this relationship looks fake asf."
A third added: "Poor Ye… I don’t see this relationship ending out well for him."
A following person wrote: "This feels weird."
It comes amid reports Kanye's erratic behaviour is reportedly bringing his estranged wife Kim Kardashian and new boyfriend Pete Davidson closer together.
The Stronger hitmaker has caused drama in recent weeks, after Kim began a surprise new relationship with Saturday Night Live funnyman Pete.
The pair hit it off when the 41-year-old made her hosting debut on the hit US sketch show in October, and have been inseparable ever since, enjoying cosy dates in Pete's native Staten Island, as well as a romantic trip to the Bahamas last month.
Despite dating actress Julia Fox, Kanye has been allegedly spreading unfounded rumours about Pete, 28, including claims he is gay, is on drugs, and has AIDS - and even mentioned fighting his ex-wife's lover in a new track.
“God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's a*s,” Kanye raps in Eazy.
Mum-of-four Kim now wants her estranged husband to move on, as she’s “really happy” with her new beau, and the drama is just bringing her and Pete closer together.
“Kim truly wants Kanye to be at peace with their marriage being over and find happiness, whether it’s with Julia [Fox] or someone else, so they can focus on raising their children together in a more positive way,” an insider told Page Six.
"She’s remaining quiet over the drama for the sake of their children, and is worried how Kanye’s remarks and behaviour will affect them in the future.
“She is worried about how all of these things that are being played out so publicly on Kanye’s end will affect their kids in the future and feels that any issues should be resolved privately.”
