Kanye West is never one to shy from a headline-grabbing outfit. His recent homemade beanie-cum-balaclava and the Céline womenswear shirt he wore back in 2011 (which we thought looked rather good) are particular favourites of ours, but it seems he's rather regretting one particular wardrobe choice - his leather Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci kilt.
The custom-made skirt kilt had its first outing back in 2011 and was sported throughout Kanye and Jay-Z's 'Watch The Throne' tour but, if today's reports are to be believed, it's recently been causing West some grief. The father-to-be has allegedly asked photo agency Getty Images to remove all photos of him wearing the skirt at a concert in aid of Hurricane Sandy last December after receiving jibes from fellow rappers, reports The Sun .
Although Kanye had already worn the skirt on numerous occasions, his appearance at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert in Madison Square Gardens caught the attention of MC Lord Jamar, who decided to write an elegantly-titled song about it, Lift Up Your Skirt …
He introduced the skinny jeans to the rap scene
Then he wore a f***ing skirt on a video screen
Then he wore it again at a memorial
I can't pretend that this s**t ain't deplorable
Just a taster of some of the less vitriolic lyrics for you there.
