Kanye West is sharing some thoughts about breaking into the fashion industry.
"I feel like I got discriminated in fashion for not being gay," he said during an interview with SHOWstudio on Tuesday. "In music, you definitely get discriminated in music if you are gay. It takes amazing talents to break down barriers. Everyone thought that when Frank Ocean dropped that it was going to be bad for his career. I feel like its so cliché to speak about him as it relates to this subject, but there are people who broke the ground and he broke the ground. The people that break the stereotypes make history."

As part of this discussion about breaking down barriers, West also discussed Caitlyn Jenner. West made headlines when Jenner first transitioned as being a particularly supportive member of her family.
"The first thing I thought about was a black radio show host maybe possibly making jokes because the black culture is generally homophobic," he said in the same chat. "Then it was like, *** what people say. R*** what people think. I feel proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for generations to come. Im still getting acquainted to whats politically correct [to say]."

What??? He is not gay?
Another multi-millionaire bitching about how unfair life is, the poor guy ...
The idiot, Kanye West, is truly the center of his universe!
Most likely, the clothing line just wasn’t appealing. Wasn’t that the show where all his models wore the same beige color, even beige makeup? How seriously are retailers supposed to take that. The little I have heard about Kayne’s clothing shows, it often sounds like something Yoko Ono would do. Being bizarre just for the heck of it, to the point where the theater overshadows your merchandise.
For whatever it's worth, I think he sucks.
He plans to run for president someday.
I can`t understand his grammar.
It`s gobbledigook.
I think technically he’s a “ gay fish”.
I suspect any discrimination Kanye “experienced” had little to do with his gender or color, and most due to him being a potty-mouthed twit of questionable talent.
But that’s probably racist of me to say...
Everyone knows Kanye is a gay fish.
And Bruce Jenner is a hero, and she’s stunning.
My wife watches Project Runaway, and I got to say that being gay does not automatically make you have taste or sense of style, or contribute to making appealing clothes. I’ve been aghast at the majority of horrible clothing they create. The better ones have actually been straight.
West is this generation’s MC Hammer. And when was the last time you heard anything about MC Hammer?
Do these punks ever stop whining? If it’s not the race card, it’s the gender card. Suggest Kanye and his wife spend Christmas with the troops in Afghanistan, maybe he’ll get a little idea about what real men are doing to save his @$$.
