“…Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gucci. Don’t discriminate against me because I’m a black man making music.”
Though we’d say it’s his close ties to sex tape empress Kim Kardashian that’s done a number on his credibility, Kanye West has cited his race as the reason he feels the world of fashion is unwilling to embrace him or his ideas.
Unfortunately, thanks to a 20-minute long rant “performed” during his ‘Wireless Festival’ set last night, ‘Nike’, ‘Louis Vuitton’ and ‘Gucci‘ aren’t the only ones unimpressed by the rapper’s antics.
Why the show’s attendees reportedly booed the rapper during his performance?
Find out below…
The Daily Mail reports:
The Yeezus rapper caused confusion when he paused his performance at the London music event, held at Finsbury Park, to preach to the crowd about discrimination within the fashion industry.
One festival-goer told MailOnline: ‘He was laying into the ‘machine’ and ranting about the public’s perception of him. Hundreds of people left the park early because they were so bored of his long rant.
‘There was serious booing towards the end of the speech, as people got so fed up and just wanted to hear him perform.’
Some fans also took to Twitter to express their annoyance at the fact that the superstar rapper halted his performance to get on his soapbox.
One wrote: ‘Serious booing during Kanye’s obligatory 15 minute Runaway rant at Wireless. Just get the f**k on with it mate. (sic)’
Another added: ‘There is a time and a place to get on your soap box @kanyewest and #wireless is not the place.’
On course to headline the event for a second night today after ‘UMG‘s Drake pulled out of the show, West’s rant comes after ‘Vogue’ magazine faced fire from its own readers, after placing West and then fiancee Kardashian on the cover of its ‘April 2014’ issue.
Fortunately for the pair, their digital protests did nothing to stand in the way of the 250,000 fans who reportedly purchased the issue within weeks of its release,coming close but failing to outperform editions covered by Pop superstar Beyonce and US First Lady Michelle Obama.

LMAO!!!! This n***** is just plain crazy! Its soo funny tho
Mind your language b****.
His one of the many angry black man. Always playing the victim
Yo aluttty mammy played the vixtim after getn a train ran on her by 12 black football player u ho.
he is seriously starting to become a cliche…save the rants for twitter like any normal attention starved celeb!!!
He’s a lunatic. Wouldn’t surprise me of he killed domeday.
Well the story is accurate in stating that he lost some respect for getting with Kim Kardashian, He is singlehandedly destroying his own career….he’s increasingly becoming unlikeable. The fashion industry probably feels hes a loose cannon and cant take the chance of him doing some crazy @#*& and then having to back away from him in the aftermath. Kanye, your crazy antics are the reason everything is happening.
The dude really needs help before he gets worse. He is clearly mentally ill.
Yrp and why does he need white people to accept him so much? Go to Chicago and help your old neiborhood… those kids are more important than the fashion industry
Kanye hasn’t been right since his mother died. It seems like he lost the ability to filter himself or has his ego always been that big?
What straight male would really whine,b**** and moan about not being accepted by the fashion industry if he’s supposed to be a rapper in the first place? A butch queen who played the role of a rapper,so later on he could transition into a fashion diva..that’s who..
I was there. Yes he was booed for his long rant but he put on a great show
overall
Liar!!
Kanye needs grief therapy from losing his Mom,and also Sam if you recall the Kimye issue sold less than the issues you mentioned at the final count
Yes, the final numbers were lower than reported but these blogs don’t care about fact checking .
how the f*** can you be friends with bey and jay and not know that standing for nothing specific is the only way to make it in this industry?????
I’m guessing TGJ missed all of the articles that posted their final numbers for the vogue issue coming in at 250K. Which in fact puts Kimye’s sales well below both Mrs. Obama and Bey.
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/kim-kardashian-and-kanye-wests-vogue-cover-sells-less-than-expected-9341186.html
They’re issue sold 250k …michelle obama 269k
Beyonce 365k…please update this correctly as its misinformation
SAM…as usually your figures are quite accurate.
Regards.
TGJ wrote that they sold less than Michelle & B, so where’s the misinfo?
They updated it after we corrected them. At first it said that they sold 500K, outselling Bey and Mrs. Obama.
I feel so bad for him. Every time you turn around there’s an article about his rants, about his wife being a h**, or simply just something negative. Kanye just needs Jesus, because his MK fails every 66 minutes.
He needs a old/real friend to really help him get his life back in order because with his mother’s guidance he is single handily ruining a almost iconic career.
Oh, I thought Kim was more influential than Michelle?
I thought he and Kim were the power couple that ran this country?
So you mean to say that both he and Kim couldn’t manage to sell more than 1 Michelle Obama? That people basically cancelled their memborships and burned their Vogues for him to prove he’s nothing more than a delusional big-mouth idiot?
Ha! I’m betting Anna spits and curses now whenever she hears Kanye’s name.
As for Kanye, the ONE thing you had going for your r*** career was some legitimacy as someone who pointed out the problems in society whether it be racial, economics, or etc. But you showed yourself to be the ultimate hypocrite and now no one wants to listen to your bull anymore.
Tisha well said I reamber you Miss Tisha good job thanks for saying what I was thinking
I see nothing wrong with what he did or said just would have loved to see him perform. Good Luck Kanye and Kim.People need to calm down.
