Kanye calls on fans to boycott Louis Vuitton after the company's VP snubbed him

Kanye West is mad that the Vice President of Louis Vuitton (pictured left) snubbed him & has asked his fans to boycott the giant fashion brand. Yeah right, Kanye!

Explaining what happened during a radio interview yesterday, Kanye said LV vice-president Yves Carcelle refused to meet with him recently in Paris when he made a request to see him.
"I was made for this moment. What happened was while I was out in Paris I wanted to meet with the head of Louis Vuitton, he said I don't understand why we need to meet with you. 'I said, "let me explain to you why you need to meet with me."
'Everybody in New York City right now don't buy any Louis Vuitton until after January.
Referring to the LV boss Kanye said 'Now do you want to meet with me? Now do you want to meet with me? Influence. They think that I don't realise my power.'
Lol, Kanye! No be only boycott, na girlcott. But Mr Carcelle used to hang out with Kanye, I wonder what happened? Hmmm. But would the LV boss have turned Jay Z down? Just asking! *runsaway*

I AINT WEARING MY LV COS THE LV DON SAID SO.... Admit it; this was one of the niccas dat exposed u guys to that shiii.... Don't form you knew about it before - just as whitney exposed lots of ladies to Tiffany.

You see guys with mortgage on their mama's house still decked up on LV. Cos of rap songs that echo it in your brain. Just like Versace in 2013 - its made a ton of money cos of rappers like drake, Swizz beat, Tiger and others - the designer as been around since forever but cause they sing about it and wear it - they make it cool and everyone is putting it on. SO yes; he as the "power" ....

Franky said...

Kanye is just being being arrogant and childish.....So pple shud boycott LV cos he snubbed u. it still won't stop me from buying my LV bag *tongue out*

Franky said...

If he thinks he has more influence than LV then he's the greatest joker

Mich said...

You would be shocked at how much influence Kanye actually wields.
Don't believe me? Who do you think gave LV the much publicity it enjoys amongst rich black folks in the US and Canada? It was Kanye who started the whole "Louis Vuitton don" campaign in his sophomore album and gave LV a whole new kinda buzz/hype amongst urban folks.
Why do you think he got to design a special LV sneakers for that fall/winter fashion season? That was a way of them thanking him.
The thing here is,Kanye is mad cos he had expected that Yves Carcelle would assist him with his fashion line but alas...one good turn in the fashion industry means something else.
Look at the buzz Kanye gave Givenchy huge prints tee shirts,see how he single handedly brought back tuscan leather pants and kilts,look what he did with his Nike shoe deal...he's about signing with Adidas for the new Yeezy sneakers.
You Can't deny that dude is highly influencial and his call for a boycott is likely gonna have an effect on LV sales same way his campaign for them in 2005-2008 did.
And about them turning down Jay-Z,well Miss Blogger,Jigga won't even reach out to LV in the first place cos LV is a subsidiary of something bigger(LVMH). Jigga signs deals with Barney's,Hublot,Ace of Spades,etc.
PS who still buys LV bags anyways? Only people with a 2008 fashin tit bits!

Kanye feels like he's so into fashion but his style is wack. Biko LV boss no mind am o, nonsense. Boycott indeed.

Its such a shame that a lot of Nigerians don't even understand how this works. Kanye is right,he helped LV with their sales and now they betrayee him when he needed them.

You must be a fadhionista

So far the most sensible comment,people just talking shit without doing any research.kanye was betrayed by LV,the deal was to give him the support he needs for his own line but they dissapointed him hence his outburst but libers have no clue so they chat shit as usual.smh.

Nigerians are very shallow I swear.kanye has every right to be mad after what LV did to him.

Anonymous said...

Your analysis is totally wrong. Just watch and see as LVv sales will skyrocket. Or haven't u heard that Kanye's popularity has been on the decline since he started going out with Kim?

Aphrodite said...

He used to be influential, nd yea if it was d "Old" kanye maybe it wud av worked, nt now dt he's hooked up wit dt "BlackDick Hopper" Now I think stupidity is contagious, I knw kanye is a lil bit retarded, but ever since he hooked up wit Kim, he is now even More, disgustingly Retarded, lyk does he even think b4 he talks? Wit dt wired jaw of his! Pls kanye u can lyk to be d fourth fish in Titus, nobody cares! Dumbskull!

Priceless said...

Nobody will stop buying LV because Kanye says so. The boss of LV has his reasons and he should be respected for that. He won't refuse to see JayZ not because of his influence but because JayZ has a better and mature and less controversial attitude. Kanye West is just a cocky egotistical idiot.

Mr Deji, Kanyes name is clearly written on the title and you still can't spell it smh

Priceless said...

Nigerians can be so ignorant. Most of the people that buy LV are elite. Most of them are socialites in Manhattan or business people or fashionistas in fashion capitals. Please what influence does Kanye wield in those areas??? People won't stop buying products that have been existing before Kanye became famous because he says so.

Anonymous said...

Excuse me that is because the blackbman is weak minded and just follows fashion fad instead of creating their own business. Louis vuitton has been established since 1845 you thunk if black pple stop buying they woukd quench? As for those saying LV is old school it just proves the point that most blacks are consumers and lack self worth so they just go with what is reigning instead of establishing their business. If Kanye is so good he should work hard and start his own line without needing their help. Afterall some of our Local Nigerian dedigners are making a name for themselves internationally

Anonymous said...

@Anon 4:06pm you have to be joking with that question. You are nt even ashamed. LV has been around fr years. Why cant the black man create their own businesss ehy do they have to wait for the white man?

Anonymous said...

Don't worry the blogger and half her followers dint have DSTV back den.. Kanye myt be making a rat ass of himself at the moment, but he changed a lot of fashion for black people. If not our men would still be looking like Tupac with FUBUs and baggies. Aldoe I don't know how significant this threat will be, cos man don old.. But Kanye is a fashion god in hip hop and he was used by LV and so many odas to push their brands down our throats

LOL at Kanye West Fans trying to sound enlightened and intelligent..smh..........I love Kanyes passion and his ability to dream big but he and his fans are ignorant.

Most of these designer houses have been around since the 1800s...before Kanye was born so what makes you guys think they would be affected?

The black man is normally very insecure ......why is it that when these Rappers get little change they start screaming designers?...Kanye called himself the LV Don and they gave him endorsements to reach a market because they know the Black man is a consumer race!.. we only know how to buy but not build.......

Most of these rappers have started rapping about versace and their follow follow and ignorant fans would rush out to buy...

In JayZ new album he names a song 'Tom Ford' why?

Most of these rappers praise these designers because they feel like they are nothing without the approval of the white man and because black people are normally sheep they would go out and buy a designer brand because JayZ or Kanye West said so.........

these white designers dont care for us but yet all the rappers and their sheep would praise them..

Now we are forming boycott...how many of you support black designers? how many of you supported JayZ Roocawear?...How many support our Nigerian designers?...the black man wont support their own but would buy anything white, then when the white man is done with us we start crying foul and saying how powerful we are..smh......Kanye has the passion and money he can build his brand and be successful but he is insecure and wants to be accepted by the white Elite.....


As far as the real wealthy whites and blacks are concerned and not all these Noveau riche that like making noise,Kanye rants would have no effects....

Lisa said...

That is why he would never attain the status of the likes of Jay Z or Diddy. Because someone turns you down, you act like a child. It is probably why they refused to meet with him. Highly unprofessional.

Anonymous said...

Kanye - that is called a social snub. He is worried that you will bring down his level. Oh yes, na levels talking. So lemme say it this way - STOP RUNNING YA MOUTH and make yourself scarce. Scarcity breeds value. Don't ask me how but it works ALL DA TIME!!! Now, I am in NY - why the fuck should I boycott LV because of you? What have you done for me lately - NO YOU HAVE NO INFLUENCE, AIGHT. Next - why till January? Why not forever? Because you hope to prove a point by january and work your way into LV coffers. Boy, may I ask - will you share the loot with the boycotters? Shit ass pompous asshole.
