DRAGGED ONLINE: Rapper Kanye West
Kanye West’s fans have more than just their onties in a bunch.
The rapper and fashion designer is being slammed for selling his latest clothing collection out of black refuse bags.
“This is how they are selling Yeezy GAP,” a New York-based Twitter user said, showing klere stuffed into gemors bags at a Gap store.
An eyewitness said: “The sales associate said Ye got mad when he saw they had [his clothes] on hangers” because “this is how he wanted it.”
“They won’t help you find [your] size,” they added, “you just have to just dig through everything.”

Several critics gated the rapper’s “fetish” with using homeless people as “fashion muses”.
“It’s everything that is wrong with billionaires,” the dissenter argued. “They no longer see the plight of people, they don’t see humans that are suffering, they see opportunities to be ‘edgy’ and profit from it…it’s disgusting.”
One person wrote: “This gotta be a social experiment,” while another joked, “finally, something to satisfy my instinct to burrow”.
Another upset fan claimed they saw the same display at a store in Houston.
“I can say this would make me quit my job if I were still on the visuals team,” said the fan.
Others took issue with the collection itself, which features bulky, dark grey sweatpants, sweatshirts and accessories that range in price from R665 (keychain) to R5660 (T-cut parka).
“This oversized s**t needs to stop. Buddy looks like he’s about to sit down for a haircut in that T,” one social media user quipped, while another pointed out the irony of “fishing a $240 hoodie out of a garbage bag.”
Last week, the 45-year-old father of four said that his “biggest inspiration for all design” was “the homeless”.
His Instagram post elicited responses such, “no homeless dude buying $200 yeezys” and “yes look to the homeless so we can sell middle-class people $499 shoes.”
