Kanye West denied entry at Paris Fashion show



Kanye West's most obnoxious fan, Kanye West, is having another temper tantrum, and this one's international.

As you may already know, when not making music, boasting about the music he's made or bitching that his music doesn't get enough recognition, Kanye can often be found obsessing over fashion.

Unfortunately, the feeling is not mutual, and the Vuittompous rapper is being proscribed from attending some of Paris Fashion Week's most noteworthy shows. Perhaps the most hurtful declination came from the Balienciaga house, which denied Yeezy even after he took to his blog to award its Closed Front Cage Sandals "Illest Shoe."

Why is Mr West being blackballed? Capacity issues? Racism? Honest mistakes? According to him, it's none of that. He says the issue at hand is the designers and their jealous demand for the spotlight:

"I understand it. I get a lot of attention and, you know, sometimes the designers don't want anything taking the focus off the show."

And there you have it: he’s literally too cool to be allowed in, obvs!

Just my POV: His ~I'm the greatest evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar thing~ was once hilarious. But now, it's just irritating. Sigh. Just another case of "Ho, sit down."
