Recently, singer Noa Kirel has been trending after appearing on the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards that was held on November 13.

Kirel said that she wore the pants to make a statement against the controversial American singer and rapper.
In an interview with Variety, the singer commented, “I had this idea that came to my head: after all the anti-Semitic things that Kanye said about Jewish people – and I’m Jewish – I knew I had to have something that will be powerful on the red carpet. I really wanted it to be a message and not just a regular outfit. And it takes some nerves, but I think the message was received.”
