Rapper Kanye West has waged war against super international
designer brand Louis Vuitton by ordering all his fans in New
York to boycott Louis Vuitton products until January 2014. In
a recent interview with 92.3 NOW radio yesterday, Nov 25;
the rap star dissed the brand's vice-president, Yves Carcelle
for refusing to see him while in Paris.
Seems Kanye's meeting with Jesus in Seattle in October has
probably altered the singer's view on things including
standing up for his right and his ability to meet with just
anyone he wants to meet! He lashed out in the radio chat,
"they think I don't realize my power?"
So because the brand's VP, Yves Carcelle denied to see
Kanye – one of the most popular rappers in music – in Paris
few months ago, Kanye says, "Everybody in New York City
right now, don't buy any Louis Vuitton until after January."
Speaking on 92.3 NOW radio, he said: "I was made for this
moment. What happened was while I was out in Paris I
wanted to meet with the head of Louis Vuitton, he said I don't
understand why we need to meet with you. I said, "let me
explain to you why you need to meet with me…" He bitterly
said, "Now do you want to meet with me? Now do you want
to meet with me? Influence. They think that I don't realize my
power."
Kanye is hoping his 'power' will stop fans splashing out £300
to £8,000 on the French brand's luggage and handbags. The
rapper is perhaps on an anti-fashion crusade, claiming the
world's top designers have essentially blackballed him from
the industry because he's a black rapper.
Speaking of being black, Kanye applauded the Kardashians
for practicing interracial marriage. He confessed to
Washington's 95.5 WPGC station yesterday , arguing that the
Kardashians are changing the way America views interracial
relationships. He said;
"A lot of what the Kardshians do, I don't think they get
enough credit for what they do. They prep America to accept
interracial relationships.
"I'm not talking about me, I can hop on a plane. I can date a
white woman, I can date a black woman, and no matter what
they say in the barber shop don't matter, because I don't get
my haircut there. For the people that do, though, there's a
white woman that's getting talked down to by her friends
because she's dating a black guy. Now you've got a point of
reference, that you can say, "Well, actually this couple right
here, that's dope."
Louis Vitton is yet to make a statement on Kanye's current
rant!
