Kanye West Wants To Be 2Pac Of Fashion; No Longer Promoting Louis Vuitton

(AllHipHop News) The man who use to describe himself as the “Louis Vuitton Don” says he no longer has any interest in being associated with the luxury brand. While speaking at Power 106’s Big Boy Neighborhood, Kanye West further expounds on his issues with high fashion including why he will not work for LV again.

“If I had the opportunity to design for Louis Vuitton now I wouldn’t, because the prices are just too extreme,” said Kanye. “I don’t want to use my message to have kids saving up that much to be a part of what the ideas are. That’s the problem to me with luxury.”

Kanye has expressed in the past his desire to break into fashion as a serious designer, but according to the Chicago artist he cannot get the backing from industry insiders to make it happen. He claims once that does occur he will be the GOAT of fashion like he considers 2Pac the GOAT of Hip Hop.

“I would say more like Tupac is the best rapper of all time. I tell you one thing in clothing, as soon as I get it, I’m going to be Tupac of this. I will be Tupac of this,” said Ye.
