Blackface implies caricature. This isn't attempting to be African American.

His visual media has quite a bit of this transhumanist stuff showing people made out of different materials, Hate or Glory shows a maniac who gets cast into gold for pleasure.

Considering he was working with Lady Gaga, who is also known for these extreme runway looks, I would say it was quite appropriate.
