Kanye West Drops 'N*ggas In Paris' Video; Prepares For Fashion Week

Kanye West is anticipating his sophomoric return to Paris Fashion Week where he will unleash the heralding of his women’s wear collection, according to his Karla Otto agency spokesman.

The news comes just as the premiere for West’s and Jay-Z’s controversial hit and Watch The Throne’s most recounted release ‘N***** In Paris’ video makes it way to the airwaves.

While rap fans savor the seizure inducing video, others are interested in West’s second attempt at setting the fashion world on fire. His previous DW collection, named after his late mother Dr. Donda West, drew harsh criticism though he had designer juggernauts as Alexander Wang, Vogue’s Anna Wintour, and the Olsen twins backed his vision.

In addition to Paris Fashion Week in March, there are rumors West may launch a line with TopShop. The speculation began after ‘Ye met with Topshop head, Phillip Green for a very long lunch.

As quickly as the rumors developed they were just as quickly squashed by Green ,

“I had lunch with him and, sorry, do I have to report who I have lunch with in the Daily Mirror? He was very hungry. So was I. That’s what happens at lunchtime. There was no conversation going on. He’s a friend of my son.”

While that line may not be on the horizon anytime soon, West’s proven rapping talents is set to provide us with new music and that the new sound is almost near completion.

“We’re gonna do the G.O.O.D. Music album first, we been working on that. So me, Kanye, Cudi, CyHi, John Legend, Common, Pusha T, everybody on G.O.O.D., Mr Hudson we’re all working on a new project, it’s almost done,” said Big Sean, a GOOD member.

Until then, West will show his ready-to-wear pieces on March 6th at 9:30 P.M. at an unknown location in Paris.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
