Kanye West Denied Entry to Shows at Paris Fashion Week

As it turns out, there are some parties where Kanye West isn't on the list. The Chicago rapper, who was in France for Paris Fashion Week, was allegedly turned away from several runway shows after showing up without an invitation.

During his trip to Europe, Yeezy was pictured attending fashion shows by Vivienne Westwood, Valentino and Givenchy, but faced difficulty when trying to wing it and sneak into other designers' shows. He supposedly tried to check out the latest fashions from Louis Vuitton, but was denied access after arguing with organizers on several occasions. Last Thursday, he was told to scram at the Balmain runway show at Le Grand Hotel, and then retreated to "a separate part of the hotel so people didn't see him."

"Mr. West requested to attend and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him. He chose to come to the door anyway and we kindly let him know we could not accommodate him," said a rep for Balmain. He also rolled up to Alexander McQueen's show and was let in, though he wasn't invited, either. "He did not make a request to attend, but he came uninvited," said a rep for the label.

Kanye has been on a fashion kick as of lately, attempting to educate himself after purportedly applying for a Masters degree in fashion at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. A rep later denied the story.

No one likes to be around anyone with bad manners and a lousy I'm-all-that attitude. He got just what his hand calls for--regardless of how much money he has. His very presence lowers the value of all things around him.

What is it with these Punks from Chicago? Do they think they "rule the world"? Kanye is a second rate, over the hill, clown. The rest of the world has caught up to his (and others from Chicagoland's) thug tactics and they aren't "playin' well". Hey, Kanye, buy a ticket! It looks like you buy your "outfits" at WalMart anyway?

It will be their potential loss in dollars. Kanye has a lot of style....and money. If this story is true, his attempt to go after what he wants, speaks to his success. If he tucked tail and ran everytime he experienced a "rejection", Kanye wouldn't be rich and successful today. Call him whatever negatives you want, but his is rich and he is successful in his chosen industry. How many haters can claim that for themselves?

It's Great to know someone had the brains to embarass this NUT and show him the DOOR.I must admit West is an distraction almost everywhere he goes. His behavior is rude and distructive. He needs a lesson in "Good Manners." Always seeking attention, even not caring "If it's negative" what a psycho! He is disgusting and his talent is questionable and far as I am concerned! He does not have the right to detract from others enjoyment at award shows etc. If he doesn't like what is going on stage...."STAY AWAY!

Yeah, knock Kanye down a few pegs. He is nothing but a racist pig with no class. People must be smarter in Paris. The man is a tyrant.

For those of you who don't know, this walking nightmare of an idiots real name is: con-ya!! Because that's all he can do is con his way into whatever situation will allow his pathetic ass! He's a major loser and what's really sad is that there happens to be quite a few out there that actually buy into this maggot, goofballs c-rap and his attempts to out whine all of his damn sorry cronies!! R&B?? Yeah, con-ya that'll be the day!! For all of you mangy bastards and the pitiful public that call todays b/s music you'd better refer back to the Motown days and actually listen to what "real music is!!" con-ya needs to have a real job as well as the ret of his ilk, where you WORK for your living, not act and be like a damn spoiled brat that does absolutely nothing substantial or otherwise for a living!!!
