The name of rapper Kanye West does not leave the front pages of the Western press for a long time. Many have already become accustomed to this fact and do not pay much attention to it. However, every time scandals, thanks to which it is constantly spoken about, become more and more versatile. And yesterday the rapper was accused of racism.
Kanye published a non-standard ad
The other day, West on the social network posted an announcement that on Sunday the casting of models will take place to participate in the Fashion Week, which will be held in New York. The girls were recruited to participate in the show on September 7 of a new collection of rapper clothes called Yeezy Season 4.
It would seem that this is special, but Kanye decided, even in such an insignificant task, to attract all-round attention to himself. Here's what you could read in the ad:
"The casting is announced. 4 season. Only for multiracial models. Come without make-up. It is important for us to see you as you are. "
The next morning over the indicated announcement at the entrance to the studio gathered more than 500 models. One of them, journalists from the American edition of WWD, managed to interview and that's what she said:
"I love working with Kanye. It is very different from all other designers. He does not have any specific standards of beauty. I think that in the show can participate models of different parameters: low and high, thin and not very much. In any case, it will be an interesting sight. "Read also

The announcement about casting was not liked by many
However, not all models, and just people who are not indifferent to the work of West so radiantly perceived the published announcement, because it says that Kanye does not want to see casting of black and white models. And if the latter did not comment on the conditions of the selection, then a scandal broke out among the girls with dark skin. The Internet simply "exploded" from the negative, directed towards the scandalous singer. Here's what you can find on the pages of the social network, where the ad was published: "He himself is black? Why does not he want to see us. Where is justice? "," We are constantly oppressed, and Kanye did not stand aside. It's a shame ... "," He is a real racist. It's stupid not to allow yourself to be like that at the casting, "etc. However, there were also those who strongly advocated West: "He is a fashion designer. He sees the collection only on multiracial girls, so it's necessary "," This is his right. I do not understand what kind of shouting? ", Etc.
Now the scandal is only gaining momentum, and while West did not comment on the statements of offended girls, just like his decision to limit some in casting.
