: It appears that Kanye West isn't as popular as he thought. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that he and Alexis were refused entry into the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week.

And Kanye was pretty apologetic about not being admitted. Here was Kanye's official response to not getting into the show:

I understand it. I get a lot of attention and, you know, sometimes the designers don't want anything taking the focus off the show.
And 'Ye continued coppin' pleas like a BEE-YOTCH on his blog. Here was Kanye's follow up response:
I just love the clothes! Lex and I are not there 2 take pictures... I don't have an album about 2 drop... my tour is sold out... I love fashion and this is one of the funniest things we can make time for! I totally love and respect any designer that won't let me come 2 there show... it's their show... they don't owe me anything...

Balenciaga is one of the illest lines right now and I don't feel any type of way about not getting in! There's always a catch 22 in being a celeb ... your motives are always questioned... but only time will show my true love MY FIRST LOVE is for fashion and I appreciate just being in a position 2 afford 2 be able 2 spend a week in Paris visiting shows.

I understand that some designers don't want all that unnecessary commotion at there shows, that's what I mean by "I get a lot of attention"

Dang 'Ye ... Have some self respect!! My man just threw you out of his show and here you go talking about how much you love his stuff.

And since when was your first love is FASHION??? You betta push out another album and keep it movin....

At least he was a good sport about it.. I wouldv'e thought he would have a hissy fit...


Northjerseynik

People with no fashion sense should not attend a fashion show...somehow Kanye has become hopeless when it comes to his gear.


FloridaDyme

I agree with DownSouthBooty.


braiden45

hows is a ***? cause he has a passion for something? Its just like how MTO has a passion for calling JUNK, news...


vote4misskeke

i guess.. (crickets, crickets)


tati122

such typical act of him


Lion-S

surprising...


detroitsport

HE DOES SHOP SO MUCH HE CAN SPEAK ITALIAN. HE PROBRABLY JUST WENT ON A SHOPPING SPREE AFTERWARDS.


soulquarian212

*********yawns**********

AGAIN!!!!!!


HotLatte

wow he really respects fashion. he was like, "yeah, I understand why they threw me out..." LOL


GossipTranny44

And the Point is ...HOW They DURRIN ...Ye and Lex you can tell these *** "PUT DAT WHERE??? BACK there"

2 snaps and a twirl on the catwalk Ms honay


huhduh10

he about to have a *** fit , watch out now


TheTRUTH555

I UNDERSTAND their decision to keep them out.

You see, Balenciaga uses many delicated fabrics such as silk and linen for ther outfits. Alexis' face oozes oil. Why in the world would they want grease anywhere near their threads?


ilovemesomehim

ummmmmmm ok....


aurevoir

that is effed up.



MajorMusic

THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT U MY DUDE....***!!!!!

[link to external website removed] [link to external website removed] [link to external website removed] CHECK IT OUT ITS DIFFERENT


JuicieFruit

He sure knows how to make it all about him. Maybe the designer just doesn't like Kanye, how about that?


Gemini7five7

Okay!!! He responded on his blog by saying that he still has much love for balenciaga and it's NO SHADE


Thetruthhurts

He is not stupid...he know if he wants to keep his *** rocking the latest Balenciaga..he will keep his mouth ***...he is not stupid..once your name gets around that you are an *** about designer clothing and can't in their shows...you ain't getting jack from them. Its a two way street sometimes....but Kanye can afford Balenciaga and most definitely Balenciaga don't need kanye so its a win-win siuation. I mean what is he going to do..


Georgiagirl

I need for MTO not to be offended by Kanye for actually showing some class and understanding that him not getting into the show was not personal. Now you guys know good and well Kanye is not afraid to throw a fit when he feels slighted. So why not give him props for stepping up and for once not making a scene.


Offmymind

Wow,

His arrogence is so over the top, for him to assume that the designer doesn't want him there because he's just this huge star drawing all of this attention, I'm sure half the people at the show could give a fu** about Kanye being there....Maybe Balenciaga didn't want him there because he doesn't like Kanye, or he's not a fan of rap music...But I guess that's Kanye's own power tripping way of dealing with rejection...Face it Kanye you're not hot every where you go.


FlyaThenIEvaWasB4

Oh Wellz,at least Kanye aint get all ignorant about it.


kevon4

I think he handled it well b'cuz we know he will speak out in a sec... I'm surprised he didn't say:

"BALENCIAGA DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE!"


MrHipHop

Kanye, come on! They don't give a flip about you stealing the spotlight! It's their show! They own the spotlight!! They did that cause you black, and successfull! And that scares ANY race! Especially ones of....a lighter color....Keep doing ya thang boy, you still running hip hop right now, so f*** that designer! And quit supporting his a**!


xugarbush-nyc

wow if this is true....and LOL to ya'll last comments....so wrong but too funny m.to...anyways it was a sure thing kanye was going to have a say in this like he always does for everything else, nothing new here....but as far as him claiming that his pressence would've drove too much attention????hmmmm, no hate but, A-list celebs,Hollywood actors/socialites are always invited to those events & it's no biggie...face it kanye, you weren't invited nor welcomed & that's that!


xugarbush-nyc

b should all be good kanye, i mean it's not neccessary 4 you to be at every single fashion show...just saying


Katoxic

before he dropped his first LP, he was on def poetry jam saying he would be the best dressed rapper in the game so it is what it is.....


EnchantingDime

Kanye Please,They Could Care Less About U And Ur "Spotlight"


TimeHater

It always sounds a little funny to hear a dude talk about loving fashion. As I was reading it, I was picturing him saying it in a really *** voice. I couldn't help it.


ladinumbah1

Hey guess what i'm top 40 like who the hell cares anywhoo mto yall just late on that corny *** story and it seems to me yall just tryna sause it up for hopes he would add your site to his blog [link to external website removed] like he did to another popular black gossip web site and to all yall gossip heads once you go there you would know which one it is!

ha ha mto try again! REJECTED LOL



MochaDLight

I can respect that, he could have thrown a fit but instead he acted like the gentlemen he is. Good for you Kanye!


GGGB

They didnt admit him because he is so *** arrogant and controversial. They can handle [EXPLETIVE] doing it, but not a brother... Alexis is cute in that pic and I'm sorry I cant date a guy that is into fashion just as much as me. NO METROS FOR ME!!


greyeyedchyck

I AGREE WITH DOWNSOUTHBOOTY AND FLORIDA DYME . . .YEA AT LEAST HE WAS A GOOD SPORT ABOUT IT ! !

YA'LL KNOW HE IS KNOWN FOR STOMPING HIS FEET AND CRYING LIKE A B/I/T/C/H WHEN HE DOESN'T GET HIS WAY ! !

ATL ! ! ! !

ATL ! ! ! !


RockStarMami

i love kanye :) his girlfriend or whatever looks a hot *** mess...is it me or does she looks sickly??


SEXY-CHRISSY40

THEY BOTH LOOK SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


msjaded

he's learning to be humble..HIGH FIVE KANYE!


truebahamian

He needs more lessons in humility. Clearly.

I liked the College Dropout Kanye better.


truebahamian

Oh....BTW....the reason he didn't get it was because he WASN'T ON THE GUEST LIST.

It had nothing to do with him drawing attention at someone else's show. This ni$$a is too full of himself. Even after losing a parent, he still doesn't realize how fragile life is and what is really important. Singing about Louis Vuitton and sh!t. I'm not impressed by him anymore.

Just my 5 cents. LOL


Mssugahoneyicetea

He is so ***. Oh my goodness, all these posters talking about he growing up. Yeah right, How you doin, Ms Honey. Listen to any of his songs, he rapping, whether talking, about how bad women are. I am not hating, cause I could care less, but dude is ***. "I love fashion"...what straight dude love fashion that much, brothas like to look good, but that is too feminine, mama boy, DL closet, two snaps and twirl. Others in that catergory JL, SM,KL,MJ,BU, and the list goes on. BTW I got money and I know the deal.


The_Insider

I feel Kanye handled his rejection EXTREMELY well I feel he took a rather insightful look at the situation....oh and also this is NOT the same designer as the Oprah situaton-that designer is HERMES.


beautifully_tia

hate him anyway.. go somewhere ans s top trying capitalize on everything...

*** ***..

LOL@Mssugahoneyicetea


DriftGirl

LoL!!! Suckin up after they didnt let him in :(

Like they didnt have any other 'celebs' in the place! LoL!!

im jus surprised he didnt start cryin about it


sweet_lies

kanye thinks a bit too highly of himself. none of those parisienne fashionistas would even give his tacky a$$ a second glance. Balenciaga probably just tries to maintain a certain level of class and refinement at his events. thus kanye and his venetian-blind shades and alexis and her neon plastic beads were not on the guestlist.

people don't dislike you because they're jealous, kanye. they don't like you because you're a wannabe. develop some real style and class and try again next year.


kaypa

I KNOW HE IS SOOO SHAME!!LMAO!!! TRYNA MAKE IT SOUND GOOD!LOL!NAW NI**A THEY JUST DONT WANT YO PUFFY MOUTH A** THERE!


lainy

He is abot arrogant but I guess he was humble because it wasn't about him his girl is the one who needs the fashion connections



niyasmommy

No, No, No, Mssugahoneyicetea! If you come here to spill the beans honey you got to actually spill the beans not tip the jar a little bit. You know we are nosey on here so you gotta elaborate a little more. Whose initials are those?

In my Katt Williams voice: I'll wait


SEXYREDDHTOWN59BHB

LOL@ NIYASMOMMY.LOL.....

THE FLASHIN LIGHGHGHGHGHTTTSSSS LIGHTTTTSSS WASNT ON HIS *** THAT ***.LOL


ripple

he was probably kicked out cause everyone knows he can't dress himself


preybywill

Kanye basically said he got rejected because of his star power and appeal. People, fashion houses like BALENCIAGA welcome such star power and appeal. It makes their clothes more marketable. If Alicia, Mariah, Beyonce, Madonna had been there they would have kicked someone out of their seats to accomodate them. It was not so long ago when the fashion director of a major store was kicked out of his seat to accomodate beyonce's entourage. Kanye's international sales is nothing to brag about. He doesn't move units like the people mentioned in Europe. So most probably he was rejected not because of his star power but his lack thereof


Leoking2

I WILL COMMEND HIM ON KEEPIN IT CLASSY, BUT as far as being the best dressed rapper....UH...THE FOLLOWING BLACK MALE ENTERTAINERS DRESS BETTER THAN YOU KANYE:

1. T.I 2. Diddy 3. JayZ 4. Bobby Valentino 5. NEYO 6. Ludacris 7. ...and yes Andre3000


ripple

lol @ Mssugahoneyicetea .....summed it up very well. Kanye is a straight up punk B....


jade516

GOOD I AM SICK OF THE SIGHT OF HIM ANYWAY.


Mssugahoneyicetea

@niyasmommy I got money and I am trying to keep it, so spilling true hollywood tea on these black brothas, with jewish lawyers is not cool. BTW, most of the artsy, actor,singing types in school were the *** boys.....sweetie that don't change when you get a diploma, a record deal, or sitcom. Nonetheless, more initials...WS,KW,CT,TK, AR, and some go both ways...AD, JT... "if their's hole???" use ur imagination.. I need to start my own site, but I better start my day. Peace


SexyBiFemGirl

STOP STARTING S.HIT MTO. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. Balenciaga is one of the hottest designers and if you read the story from a credited source you will find that it wasn't that serious. Isn't it good for Kanye to be handling this like an adult instead of with his usual rants.


SexyBiFemGirl

Balenciaga has the most FIERCE pumps. You can google them if you want to see what they are, ladies you will love them. Only about $650 a pair.


sp1kedheels

Put yourselves in the fashion designers point of view. Although I'm sure the designer is flattered that Kanye wanted to be there, him being there takes the spotlight off his line. Er'body lookin at Kanye, not the fashion goin down the runway. I'm also sure Kanye received a boat load of free expensive designs, as a "get the f*k outta my show" parting gift. he-he


SexyBiFemGirl

They are trying to make it sound worst than what it is. This occurs to a lot of celebs especially at NY fashion week.


HauteCoutureDiva

We know you LOVE fashion Kanye, but why were you SO CALM after being REJECTED?! Something's amiss.


Myna

@Niyasmommy

I think two sets of initials are John Legends and Will Smith.


Myna

What does Kanye's girlfriend do? Is she a model or something?



brianNla

SO I GUESS OUR BOY IS GROWING UP....ABOUT 6 MONTHA AGO HE WOULD HAVE ACTED A FOOL AND SHOWED HIS ***...BUT GOOD TO SEE HE WAS COOL ABOUT...PAT ON THE BACK FOR Kanye!!!


sticks40

kanye is the best at everything he does and if he could stand up to the other cultures and let them know that they r wrong, u got to love him. i wander if it was his race and not his fame that got him not admitted in that paris fashion show. how many blacks *** paris who could to those events anyway.

i know he will make a song about what happened and he is just being the bigger man right now.

we need more kanye west in this world to handle the b@llsh@t black people still go through.

keep up the good work, kanye.


sexychoclit

Let me find out Mr.West is maturing! I thought he would have snapped off for some *** like this...maybe he got some sense with the baby coming and all


TracyLLo

Kanye...don't even worry about that ***. I was happy to read in the Daily News that Kanye and Alexis kept it moving to the Stella McCartney show. That *** not embarrassing at all...sounds like designer Balenciago thinks their *** all that. I betcha anything they would not have pulled that *** with a white celebrity. I admired the way Kanye handle the situation though.


polo617

WHY DOn't he make his own line instead of wearing everyone elses


soulglo

It's all respect just being able to handle a situation in an adult manner rather than being the stereotypical angry black male/female that retaliates over some lil *** or gets into a nicca moment. The editors of MTO are a bunch of *** on this ***.


Chicken80

DANG MTO HE WAS JUST BEING GROWN ABOUT THE SITUATION INSTEAD CRYING ABOUT CONSIDERING HOW HE ACTS ON AWARD SHOWS. GIVE HIM SOME CREDIT.


2TINMYOWNHORN

MTO ALWAYS HATIN...DO YA THING KANYE..

................. MYSPACE/MAJORFIGGAS101


DriftGirl

Hella funny to read people givin props to a grown *** man.....for acting like a grown man.

Acting like a man isnt sumthing to give props for or accepting props for....It's expected of men.


Caramelhoneys

Kanye...Everybody doesnt have to kiss your azz...


m1ndonmymoney

Im calling BS on this story. Prove it MTO.


mzsouthernprincess

well i feel what he's saying


Imjustsayn

@TheTRUTH555........LMAO!

You're crazy!!!!!!!


Kush

I like Kayne a lot. The only problem with this situation is that right now he is promoting this mans clothing line RIGHT NOW! By him just saying that "Balenciaga" is the illest clothing line out, then people are going to google search the *** outta this clothing line and check for it in the malls. They gonna be like oh snap, theres that line that got Kanye kicked out of the fashion show. ***, I think im gonna cop tjat *** "just to be like *** ga you aint up on this" (Kanye West; All Falls Down). Its almost like a publicity stunt except this time Kanye is the victim and he is selling this mans clothes.

Kanye, they really got you looking like a *** ga on this one. Next time, just say no comment.


VVS_Stone

He's just showing his love and respect for the designer, what people don't understand is singers and rappers don't have the clout in the industry that other people like actors and designers do until they start making alot of money, I'm sure Kanye got dough, but not dough like Will Smith



Desafinado

Real talk @ DownSouthBooty, Georgiagirl, and especially kevon4. I'm real surprised but pleased to see Kanye handled the situation so maturely. No conspiracy theories, rants, flipped tables, nothin'.

Looks like, once again, its MTO who needs to get over themselves...


Desafinado

...But that had to be embarrassing tho.


madisonAVEkid

SEE AT THE END OF THE DAY U STILL JUST A *** TO THEM FOLKS I MUST SELF LOVE FASHION BUT IT IS A SHADY BUSINESS BALANCIAGA AIN'T ALL THAT HOT THIS SEASON ANYWAY!!!


whatwhatwhat

He handled it like a man. No need to burn bridges like so many other people would have done. He lost one designer but he gained countless others with this classy response.


whatwhatwhat

This is how you maintain career longevity people. Learn from Kayne.

Networking and humility has built more bridges than him coming out putting this designer on blast. Now the designer is the one looking stupid.


jazzlesmama

WHATEVER!!


WMariah

I must say it wasn't the reaction I expected from Kanye. Mama would be proud.


SexyBiFemGirl

This happans to ALOT of celebs to include Sean Combs especially at NY fashion week. Its so funny how MTO puts out info and people run with it.


DanteEpic

Ive been KICKED outta better places!


RebuttalREJECTED

I'm mad your writers need basic composition & grammatical classes.

:-) I'm just sayin'....


taetaebabylove

Since the Bush comment he has been acting like a sellout!


caramelluv

There's that humble side noone knew you had Kanye! It's all good though, we still love you just the way you are!! *Now put your hands up in the sky!!!!*


bew-t

Kanye just doesn't have the best rep -that's all...


ChloeLouboutin

It's obvious that Kanye loves fashion I just can't believe Balenciaga denied him entry what is that about?


sexycyclopedia

about time someone cut him down to size!i love kanye's work but from where i sit he is such an arrogant ***, and people sometimes need to remember today for you,tomorrow's for someone else...the world is not urs sucker!



sexycyclopedia

lol @enchanted dime and thetruthhurts....hear ye! hear ye! to use kanye's words


luscious_vanilla

For the first time, Kanye is being respectful and behaving like a gentleman and ya'll (MTO) wanna clown him for not acting all ignorant like he usually do??

It's a lose, lose situation b/c if he did behave like an azz...ya'll would have something to say about that too.

But I can understand designers being careful about who they let into their fashion shows. If I was a designer, I wouldn't want to much destraction away from my clothes either.


EffDat

hes shuckin and jivin..tap dancin for tha man! hahhaha


Africanbro

About time, i hate that mofoko...he think he all that....fix that *** jaw first its still ***-ked up...


msbaps

If you follow fashion you would know that Balenciaga refused entry to all celebrities to the show, so Kanye ain't really all that special to be turned away.


Jayla

FASHION...HIM AND HIS GIRL LOOK LIKE THEY JUST GOT OUT OF THE GARBAGE ON THAT PIC.


chi-hop

mofos hate ye but love 50 and other egotistical geonecidal mofos at least kanye positive if he was starting rap beefs and talking bout killing nuccas yall be all on his nut sack stfu about real artist he handled it well and nuccas still hate and got slick sh** to say ol fake azz e-tough mofos CHI-TOWN HOLDING HIP HOP DOWN


Datsu7

Doesn't his girl look Haitian or is it just me?


ironman

Another false statement by mediatakeout! Everyone likes to believe everything they read so their lies continue to spread because people believe what they are reading is true! smh


hotdamn

I believe Kanye's girl is also a fashion designer! Ye is who he is but I just don't understand the hate! He's never done anything to offend me personally so he's alright with me! God Bless ya man!!!!!!!!


SoThenISaid

I am pleasantly surprised that he is actually acting like a big kid now and not throwing his usual tantrum.


sweet_lies

it's not because he's black. it's because he's wack...


HardCore

Balenciaga clothing look like female football gear.


1sexycapricorn

Im a little surprise, but actually glad he handled himself in a orderly fashion...lol


MONIQUEP

he's right i would want his *** there either. the focus should be on the clothes and notthe celebrity who is sitting in the front row.



UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

LOL That was the most humble thing he has ever said. Leave him alone.


thick_azz_femme

haha


XMzSarcaztikX

Looks like someone decided to finally knock Kanye back down to where he belongs. You ain't no diva, bra! You're Kanye West..


weezyania327

MTO, ya'll some dumb *** foreal...Ye has always said fashion was his first true passion, and just becuz dude aint allow him in the show, Ye aint supposed to like dudes clothes now?...dats like yo moms not lettin u go to a party one ***, so now u refuse to eat or dont like her Thanksgiving meals even though u know its good...MTO is actin ***


weezyania327

QU33N
