 Kanye West is a huge name artist, which means people will do anything to get him to perform. Knowing that he’s a superstar West feels entitled to make certain demands of his crew while he is on tour. The rapper’s ridiculous rider from his recent Australian tour  leaked on the net and people are talking. Sources say Kanye demands that anyone that drives him wears 100 per cent cotton: No man-made fibers. Really Kanye? Who’s checking your driver’s drawls????  I wonder?
He also demanded Versace towels — which were shipped from America, and were then cut into smaller sizes so he could wipe his face on stage.
But the part that has everyone talking is that fact that he’s being filmed by a crew following the launch of his new fashion label KW.
Vogue reports that Kanye West announced he was given the opportunity to work for one of the world’s most famous fashion dynasties. “[I was] also offered a position at Versace which I could not take due to my contract with LV which was for 2 years,” he tweeted.
He went on to explain how he moved to Paris early last year to open an “embarrassingly small” design studio and was visited by Azzedine Alaia. He also announced plans for a new label, named Donda, aiming to create “products and experiences that people want and can afford”.
“Everything I knew about my woman’s clothing was what my Mom would wear. I guess some critics would joke that I still don’t know anything LOL,” he said.
The rapper-turned-designer moved to the UK so that he can be close to the expertise and advice of Central Saint Martins’ students and lecturers. West was recruited by Saint Martins alumni when he launched his label during Paris Fashion Week in October last year, hiring Louise Goldinand Katie Eary as creative leads.
WOW… Who would have thought West liked fashion that much!!!
WWD reports: “Kanye West will return to Paris Fashion Week this season with his eponymous collection, his spokesman at the Karla Otto agency said. The singer-turned-designer will show at 9.30 p.m. on March 6 on the sidelines of the official calendar established by the Chambre Syndicale, French fashion’s governing body, but the venue has yet to be confirmed. West’s debut last season drew a star-studded front row, but garnered mixed reviews.”

GAY!
Kanye has ALWAYS been a fashion icon, I would say the Kanye and Andre 3000 are the KINGS of fashion and the top two divas….they lead the pack, they are the most fashionable black men on the planet and that is HUGE. However, I am not shocked by Kanye’s rider he is and will always be a Male Diva. That is his gay side that he tries so hard to ignore, deny, and suppress and keep hidden. His “entourage’ in London looked like a gay singing group or a gay fashion fraternity – which is exactly what it is and was. Kanye’s arrogance and overly hyped male aggression is his way of deflecting his effiminate characteristics and qulities. He is the quentissential Black Male Diva – and it is perfectly okay becaus he is so good at it……..
