On October 27, Naomi Osaka revealed her struggles and triumphs in losing weight after childbirth. She said, “There were moments this year where I felt really ashamed of my body…” Despite having been out of action for quite a while, she made a comeback this year and played almost 38 matches this season. Highlighting this incredible journey, she thanked her body, saying, “YOU ARE AMAZING!” Osaka has now put a cryptic post on her social media featuring Kanye West’s one of the songs.

In her recent IG story featuring Kanye West’s song, ‘New Body’, Osaka put up a picture of herself in which she was perhaps reflecting on her weight loss. However, she raised a fair bit of curiosity with an interesting caption. She wrote, “How unhinged am I if this was my music choice?” The lyrics of this popular song go, “Can’t wait to see your new body. Let the Lord of love be your new body. You’ve been born again in your new body. So it’s on to get in your new body, woah…” Whether these lines were aimed toward the renowned American rapper or she is just reflecting her love towards this popular rapper is unknown!

Naomi Osaka previously confessed that she struggled a bit after seeing other mothers who “seemingly” regained their pre-pregnancy figures. She said that she dedicated hours and hours to workouts in the gym in order to shed the pregnancy weight, but she found herself a bit discouraged with her slow progress. It was really a tough time for this tennis champ! However, now she’s embracing the journey she has had over the last few months.

“Most weeks would feel similar to the previous week and the weight didn’t disappear overnight so it was a bit disheartening. To get to the point I’m at now was definitely a journey, an adventure I know that I’m still embracing. All bodies are different and I appreciate mine for how it is,” are a few words from her latest IG post from yesterday.

Like Osaka, Taylor Townsend, who gave birth to her son, Adyn Aubrey on March 14, 2021, also had to walk a similar route while coming back to the professional tennis. “The bounceback, it’s difficult,” commented Townsend on Osaka’s post.

Interestingly, Naomi Osaka and Kanye West have run the headlines altogether in the past.

Naomi Osaka and Kanye West share a common love for a beautiful country

Both these superstars have a special love for Haiti! Speaking about her connections with Haiti, Naomi Osaka once said, “Of course, I’m very honored to be playing for Japan. But my Dad’s side is Haitian, so represent.” The tennis star is often seen showing support to Haiti and its people with multiple activities. Take, for example, during the 2021 Western & Southern Open, she donated her entire prize money to earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.

Even Kanye West had once expressed his wish to create a “City of the Future” for the benefit of the Haitian people. The sole purpose of this mission was to help the local farmers, fishermen, and workers in this beautiful country.

In September 2020, we saw Naomi Osaka and Kanye West in a single frame in Haiti, along with the then-president of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse. Not only that, but even in 2021, we saw Osaka portraying her love and support towards this American rapper. She was spotted attending a concert in LA which featured Kanye West and Drake.

In 2022, Naomi Osaka’s name yet again came to the headlines beside Kanye West, when Osaka’s rapper boyfriend, Cordae, revealed that it was Kanye who first introduced him to the renowned fashion brand, Dior. During a written conversation with the American fashion magazine, ‘W’ Cordae revealed,

“My first interaction with the brand was when I heard Kanye rap the lines, ‘Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior.” Naomi Osaka and Kanye West have often been linked in the news. Given this, many people are wondering if her recent Instagram story was a subtle jab at West. What are your thoughts on the same?
