Someone Leaked the Rules for Models at Kanye’s Fashion Show, Turns Out He’s Even Crazier Than We Thought
Kanye West debuted his new album The Life of Pablo (that album formerly known as Swish) yesterday at a huge event in Madison Square Garden. It was a listening party and kind of like a fashion show, only the models had to stand in place and blankly stare at attendees as they listened to the album.
Literally they just had to stand there, and Kanye handed them a goddamn syllabus of instructions. Look at this s**t.
