Kanye Westhad an eventful evening at Ralph Lauren’s 50th-anniversary fashion show in New York City on Friday.
The rapper, 41, stormed off the red carpet of the New York Fashion Week celebration at the Bethesda Terrace when a reporter asked him about wifeKim Kardashian West’s feud with Tyson Beckford(which started after he body-shamed her).
“Why are you allowing trash journalists?” West asked event organizers, who eventually had the reporter removed from the press line.
West told the reporter, “Ralph Lauren would be very ashamed that you asked that trash question.”
The musician, who had already posed for photos on the carpet, later returned to the press line but only to speak with one outlet.
Inside, he appeared to rebound from the incident, sitting at a table withHillary ClintonandOprah Winfrey. “I got a great seat,” he wrote on Twitter, captioning a photo of the two, Winfrey mid-speech.
It was especially shocking for fans to see West with Clinton. The “Flashing Lights rapper has been an outspoken supporter of Clinton’s former political rival,President Donald Trump. Fromhis December 2016 meetingwith the formerCelebrity Apprenticehost in Trump Tower todiscussing Trump onJimmy Kimmel Livein August — andthe many times he’s worn Trump’s Make America Great Again hatin between — West has cemented himself as one of Trump’s most passionate Hollywood supporters. He even called Trump “my brother” in April.
The love goes both ways, it appears. During a Republican fundraising dinner in Columbus, Ohio, in August, President Trump praised West and Kardashian West — who herself has been politically active withTrump and his administration in the past.
“Now we’re doing great andKanye Westliked me and that really lifted my…Kanye Westhas some real power!” Trump said. “He’s got a good wife too, in Kim. I’ll tell ya, she really is [something].”
