A portrait of a popular US rapper has been spotted in the city centre of Glasgow. 

Artwork of Kanye West has appeared on a wall on the riverside at Custom House Quay on the north bank of the River Clyde.

And it has sent Glaswegians into a frenzy on social media.

The extremely detailed piece shows the Gold Digger star holding a phone to his ear, with the sentence, 'Aye, they're aw painting again...pretty sure a can smell hash anaw" - which some are claiming to be a reference to Limmy (Also known as Brian Limond) and his house party skit. 

The piece appeared on TikTok earlier this week after a video was uploaded by Tapendtef, who appears to be the artist.

One person said: "I love Kanye - and I love Limmy even more. Thank you! Going to take a wee dawdle down soon."

Another person said: "Love it, absolutely class."

A third added: "This is class, mate." 

Some people in the comments said Limmy even shared the TikTok on his Instagram account.

The new addition comes as Glasgow Clydeside has become part of a new initiative which lets anyone legally paint on the long cement wall. 

The trial is now underway and will run for six months following a successful campaign by Colourways Glasgow - an artist-led organisation which supports and promotes graffiti and street art within Glasgow.
 

The 'legal graffiti' walls have been in the works for about a year now after we previously reported that the council wanted to create spaces where “street art culture” could be developed.

The council said if deemed a success, other sites could be added around the city.

There are a number of sites operating the legal graffiti wall - the wall on riverside at Custom House Quay is one and the other is a council-owned car park in the north of the city centre.

A wall at the Concert Square car park on Cowcaddens Road will also be able to be used for graffiti.

The aim of the project, in the words of the council, was to “foster artistic expression, community engagement, and urban revitalisation” and “to provide a platform for local artists to display their skills and creativity while promoting a positive and inclusive environment."
