Kanye West Stops Media From Attending His Paris Fashion Show

Hip-hop superstar Kanye West reportedly banned media from attending his fashion show in Paris earlier this week – because he didn’t want his new women’s clothing line, DW Kanye West, slated by critics.
West travelled to the capital of France – home of many-a-fashion show – on Tuesday (March 6th), to showcase his brand new collection of clothes for women – but, rather than have any possibility of a negative review, West decided it would be best if critics were banned from the venue altogether. Eric Wilson, who writes for the New York Times, claims that West had even previously said that critics would be given a preview – but changed his mind at the last minute.
Wilson quoted West as saying: “I don't know about this. I got treated unfairly by the press last time. Why would I want to do this? If they don't understand it, they don't understand it.”
It’s not the only time West has forcibly removed people from his own shows – he attempted to kick out a whole section of the crowd at a gig once because one crowd member threw cards on stage. Luckily the culprit owned up and spared the removal of the group of fans.
If you’re a fan of Kanye West, you can catch him performing alongside fellow rapper Jay-Z as their collective group Watch the Throne this May. Check the dates and details below if you need tickets.
