Kanye Dissed at Fashion Week?

Posted by Bossip Staff

Here is Kanye West’s reaction to being denied a seat at the Balenciaga fashion show in Paris because of his ‘hip-hop’ image:

“My first love is for fashion and I appreciate just being in a position to afford to be able to spend a week in Paris visiting shows. I totally love and respect any designer that won’t let me come to their show. It’s their show. They don’t owe me anything. I just love the clothes. Lex (his fiancee Alexis Phifer) and I are not there to take pictures. I don’t have an album about to drop. My tour is sold out. I love fashion and this is one of the funniest things we can make time for. Balenciaga is one of the illest lines right now and I don’t feel any type of way about not getting in. There’s always a catch 22 in being a celeb – your motives are always questioned – but only time will show my true love.”

That’s an interesting reaction from Mr. Arrogant Cry-Baby himself.  Yeezy must be maturing a little bit.  Good for him.

  1. RIP,RIP - meet Alexander O'Neal

    He’s arrogant, but smart.His rants may seem off-kilter most of the time, but if you listen to dude’s message(not just the words), you may find yourself agreeing.

  2. good11

    1st,

  3. RIP,RIP - meet Alexander O'Neal

    lol, sorry good

    I don’t aim for first – it just happens that way sometimes

    I’m bored in this *****…

  4. njgood

    If she wore that outfit, that’s probaly why they did not get in..smh,tacky.

  5. Luving "The Wire" Forever..HOV

    He’s arrogant but I like his reaction. Maybe’s he’s growing up b/c he has a good gurl around him.I don’t think she’s cute AT ALL but I like the fact he has someone down for him..

    Question tho. Why was he denied? Overbooked?

  6. njgood

    correction (PROBABLY)

  7. NotoriousOne

    Kanye just needs to bring that ego down a notch cause all that complaining and whining are putting a dent on his image. Be glad you’re in the position that you’re in and when you don’t get ish your way strive to get better.


  8. I’m glad that he didn’t act like a little ***** this time. Maybe something has humbled his ***** a little? HMMMMMMMM!!! Anyways, keep up the good work Kanye. You still my boy!

    @ Luving “The Wire”

    “Why was he denied? Overbooked?”

    You’d be surprised, some peeps in the business look down at cats that are forever whining and complaining. A lot of peeps realize that it’s a privilege to be tops in the business and the last thing you should be doing is complaining. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a snub for the image Kanye’s brought on himself.

  10. I'm Just Me

    I LOVE KANYE WEST!!!! He really does respect fashion because if this was something that response would have been different.

    If he is growing up good for him…isn’t he about to be a Daddy? If that is the case it really is time to grow up!

  11. njgood

    RIP,I’m bored also……

  12. Luving "The Wire" Forever..HOV

    Plus he knew better than to mess w/ the french.I got stopped when i visted for taking a picture of their police truck. It was crazy dude was so rude to me. Thank god my homey who is french and white was there to save my *****.

  13. it's me dammit!!!

    Off the subject, but kanye’s girl is looking fugly these days, what is going on with the greasy face and the tacky ***** dress, I have to agree with NJGOOD,, they probably couldn’t get in because of that godawful dress!!!LMAO!!!

    I can see that too.

  15. William Powers

    Yeezy said that?!? Who’s his new ghost writer?

  16. 6 Figgas aka Knotx

    At the end of the day, Ye is just another black rapper. What, this fool thinks he’s part of the upper crust ’cause he got few stacks? Sit the ***** down and eat that plate o’ humble pie *****…

  17. mojojo195

    @ 6 figgas

    You can say that again LOL

    @ it’s me

    His girl look dum as hell, Her forehead is shinner than a **********a.. Lay off tha vaseline and hair is never done. damn i sound like a hater… OH well a hotmess is a hot mess LOL

  18. Kardish Hamilton

    *****S JUST DON’T GET IT..TO MY ENTERTAINERS AND RAPPERS YOU ARE STILL CAPTIVES IN THIS WORLD UNTO YAHSHUA COMES…SO QUIT TRYING TO FIT IN THEIR WORLD..THIS IS WHY THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA DON’T HAVE ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE EURO-GENTILES(crackers)…THE WHITE POWER STRUCTURE TIME IS ALMOST UP OUR CAPITIVITY IS ALMOST OVER AND THE HEBREWS (SO-CALLED NEGROE) WILL RULE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER AND EVER…GEN 15:13, DEU 28 READ IT BECAUSE IT RELATES..

  19. dayg715

    he isn’t maturing, that’s not possible. he’s starting to realize that no matter how much he thinks his ***** don’t stink, bottom line, all the white man sees when he looks at him is just another ***** who got lucky. why do you think vince gill punked his ***** at the grammys last month?

  20. mojojo195

    Am i just ignorant but what the hell is Yahshua?

  21. Vinandi

    @ day715

    he’s starting to realize that no matter how much he thinks his ***** don’t stink, bottom line, all the white man sees when he looks at him is just another ***** who got lucky”

    I concur! – LMAO

  22. NotoriousOne

    @ Luving “The Wire”…

    “It was crazy dude was so rude to me.”

    That is one of the main reasons why I never followed thru on my French. Was supposed to do a study abroad program but on a visit they were THE WORSE!!

  23. Fabs

    well actually, they do have a list so for him to think he can just waltz in and sit in someones seat and get their gift was a bit much, nonetheless, he needs to marry that chic or dump her, i don’t think he’s IN LOVE though .. sad for her

  24. Anonymous

    He sounds stupid. Who, in their right mind, is not upset in a situation like that?


  25. I think his reaction was appropriate. Now maybe he will be allowed in the next show.

    On another note, has Alexander O’Neal p*****ed away?

  26. and another one...

    Kayne ‘how u doin’?? no really you & John Legend ‘How ya’ll doin????’


  27. kanye is just being his self, go to my*****e/keifk and check me out on the music side.

  28. CAT EYES

    WHEN IS HE JUST GONNA ADMIT THAT THIS GIRL IS JUST FOR SHOW?

  29. FOXYCLEOPATRA

    WHY IS ALEKIS LUKIN LIKE THAT? WHAT HE HECK!

  30. Jahpson

    I agree with what he says. If the door doesnt open this time, it will next time. great attitude Mr. West.

  31. Jahpson

    Alexis should have done better with her eyebrows. she looks a mess

  32. HOTSTUFF

    I love the way he interacts with her!!! LIke she’s his rock, how *****y can he really be???


  33. I felt so sorry for him. His girl was wearing the Balenciaga dress and they still did not let them in. It was big of him to still give them props because he could have spazzed out. I went to the Balenciaga website and they really have some fly gear. Alexis dress was cute but she did not know how to rock it. Her hair would have complimented the dress if it was straw set. She should have gotten the boots to match her dress. They have the fliest boots I ever seen. He may adore fashion but she seems nonchalant when it comes to dressing her ***** off. Clothing is my way of acting. They never know who I will be at work. Your hair must compliment your outfit. Everything starts with the head. Sometimes I look Chinese, Indian, Afrocentric, and sometime I look like a preppy school girl. Clothing is how I express myself and my hairstyle is the icing on the cake. Compliments to me because I can do it myself. I mostly wear it in a wild thick twist set because it gives me character and makes me stand out in a crowd. Shame on Balenciaga for dissing Ye.

  34. andrea

    i like how he included “my tour is sold out”. he just had to add that tid bit. it’s cool though… i found it funny.

  35. andrea

    and that label not wanting him there should open up these rapper’s eyes and realize that not all of them are welcome in the high fashion scene.


  36. His girl looks HURT! She didn’t think it was a good idea to put on a little makeup before stepping out, I guess…

  37. victory is mine

    this just goes to show you that no matter how much money you make or how many records you sell or concerts you sell out you will always be seen as just another *****….reminds me of when hermes’ wouldn’t open the store for oprah…

  38. Built2Bully

    @victory is mine, him being black as nothing to do with it…lol, jay, puffy, beyonce… hell russell simmons have all been photographed at this picticular fashion show…. Kanye is a *****hole and it is catching up with him…period.

  39. omni101

    maybe the brother is coming into real manhood after the untimely death of his moms, damn folks recognize life for what it is , maybe he is finally getting the time now to see all it’s cracked up to be. trust me money isn’t everything, how do I know? because I’m living proof, money, cheese, stacks, coin, folds, what ever you call it, can’t compare to real life ans knowledge. Give the young man a much needed break from all the criticism….

  40. victory is mine

    @ built2bully

    i don’t see how kanye being a crybaby has to do w/him not getting into this fashion show…what was he going to do storm the runway if he didn’t like one of their designs….

    and as far as the people you mentioned being photographed at this particular fashion show white people always will have their picks of blacks that they choose to deal with…period

  41. BLUNTBLAZER

    YE RECOGNIZES THAT THEY ARE BIGGER THAN HIM SO HE HUMBLES HIMSELF HE HAS COMMON SENSE

    http://WWW.MY*****E.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC

    NUTHIN BUT DAT TRUNK KNOCK

  42. andie

    alexis looks beat!

  43. reddnwood

    Still not crazy about the fact they’re dissing HIP HOP in a way when Kanye is a decent person in my book. Smacks of being racist when all kinds of perverts albeit “rich” perverts attend those shows.


  44. Kanye may be a decent person,but it does not hide a fact,he’s arrogant and has a big ego.This is not a good role model for “ANYONE”.

  45. Randomonium

    A Humble Kanye. I LUV IT!…Cant wait till the MSG Show I already have my tix…!!!

  46. Encyclopedia Brown

    According to my encyclopedia, Yeezy’s boasting derives from his hometown of Chicago; where back in the day, many are said to be full of wind. Ergo, Chicago is known as the Windy City.

    Fact

  47. yes i said it

    who is he fooling he know his feelings are hurt. he probably cried when he got home lol

  48. Alexander O'Neal

    On another note, has Alexander O’Neal p*****ed away?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    lolol, nah, I’ve retired the’RIP’ – kept getting bit off of.Soooo, my new name is that of the top 80’s O’G – Alexander O’Neal

    lol@’p*****ed’, damn that’s Black…

  49. Once More

    Next time a young black designer has a show maybe he will go there but that is the easy button.

    Diddy made JLO. Her mother told her you bet not have a baby by the nicca. She left Diddy for Afleck and Mark. But used Diddy to build her up knowing the Living Color TV show brothers hit that up and let her be a fly girl not a damn hollywood star.

    We made Tommy Hilfiger, we made Polo, we made LV, we enhanced Cristal etc. When these entertainers get the money, they buy the Bentleys, Lambor, etc and there is not a black salesmen or mechanic in the building and let’s not mention the jewelry where there is a 1000 percent mark up and none of these people they buy from will invite them to dinner at their house. If he had any publicist worth a damn they would have maade arrangements in advance but they don’t give a crap. I would havve fired my PR Team. His record company could not give him tickets.

    Until we start patronizing ourselves like every other ethnic group we will never get any respect.

    Just because you wear that designer stuff does not make you acceptable.

  50. Reformed GammaRay

    “and I don’t feel any type of way about not getting in” = SO! I DONT CARE! kanye kicking rocks

    str8t kid fit style! lol

    And who knew about this? why would he even acknowledge it..public embarr*****ment is a bytch.

    prolly was them sweet minty pale green pants he was wearing, Boy..go Sit and Be pretty..(NO offense Just Sit!)

  51. Reformed GammaRay

    I loooooooooooooooooooove Balenciaga Bags…{homer simpson drool} even the knockoffs are fire, on your shoulder and in ya pockets..


  52. Leave Alexis Alone!!! Stop saying her forehead is shiny! Stop talking mess about her clothes!!! StoP saying she is a fictional character in the novel, “INTERCEPTIONS”

    You guys are just HATERS!!! You wish you could have her fly life!


  53. LEAVE HER ALONE!

    Haters never prosper!

    What did she do to you – to talk about her!????

  54. lisa

    They are well match each other. He is very hot, she is very beautiful and sexy. It is said that they met on celeb mingle.com Is it true?

  55. jason

    great… by the way,a few mints ago,i just found a very interesting news on free online dating site interracialsingleonline.com ,for man and woman… to my surprise,there are some chinese girls on it.hey guys,we can login to share with others.they are so cute and interesting…

  56. sello

    Mr West is the *****, hands down… all yo haters sit yo *****es down! you peeps should have cought on by now that all the arrogant that is comming from this man it a gimmick! the reason why Ye was sincere here it because he is genuinely upset cause the man must have studed Fashion for a reason, and his dress sense is saying something on it’s own. this man is breaking grounds with hiphop dress code! so haters shut the ***** up!

  57. *****i

    If they weren’t invited what the ***** were they doing there! The French don’t give a *****, he better ask Oprah!!

  58. Coffee break

    They would not let him in because of that MAN that’s is on his ARM. His future wife looks like a DUDE and she sure in the hell can’t dress. She look a hot mess. Now for the fashion artist that didn’t let him in he lose not KW

  59. Blacksmith

    He didn’t get in because there was no room. The people at fashion shows are INVITED, you can’t just pop in and expect to be seated in the front row. That stuff is planned out months in advance when they send out invitations. I’ll bet the fashion house will do something ‘nice’ for him later on.


  60. THATS MESSED UP! THEY SHOULD HAVE LET MY BOY IN! HATERS! KANYE IS THE MAN.


  61. Everyone is talking about Kanye’s girl but, he aint trying to be look hollywood and roll with a trophie. No matter how tacky she looks, the relationship is real. He don’t need to be with a beyonce to make his self look good or please everyone. He loves his girl no matter what – no make up or make up. Everyone know how black rappers are treated. He was just trying to fiqure out why? I mean, he knows why but it is the principle.

  62. whatareyouon

    LOLZ, I’m glad his ***** got shut down at Balenciaga. He had to eat a nice slice of humble pie. But what the ***** is up with his girl- rough ***** face- YIKES! I’m surprised the way he always talks ***** he couldn’t find anyone better… Well atleast she’s black so I’ll shut up…

  63. oh brotha

    @ luving the wire,

    kanyes fiance is cute…judjing from ur gravatar, she looks better than u actually

  64. oh brotha

    @ once more…

    couldnt agree more..

  65. truself

    Sounds to me he dissed the show. Like he knew if he entered the show it would stop and all eyes would be on him. Then the old white geiser with their teenage girlfriends would have had to ask who is that and such.

    He so hot right now he would have taken all the attention off the clothes.


  66. They are beautiful together I hope it last
