Kanye West and Kim Kardashian got booed when they arrived at Lanvin Paris’ Fashion Week show on September 25, as shown in a new video from TMZ. The couple showed up at the front row after the rest of the audience was already seated. So when West heard a few hecklers act up, he walked past the photographers crowding around his wife to address them directly.

Alber [Elbaz] asked us to see us,” the Yeezus rapper said, referring to Lanvin’s creative director. “Don’t boo us. Alber asked to see us. Don’t boo us. We’re not late. We’re not late.”

Those hecklers were reportedly runway photographers. “The runway photographers were all just booing them as they walked in,” an unnamed source said to Page Six [via Complex]. “They were waiting for them for the show [to start], which was 40 minutes late. Kanye immediately walked over and was gesturing for them to cut it out.” See the video below.

West has collaborated with Nike, Adidas and Louis Vuitton to design sneakers, as well as French fashion label A.P.C. to create his own capsule collection. To our knowledge, he can also rightfully claim that he invented leather jogging pants. “We brought the leather jogging pants six years ago to Fendi, and they said, ‘No.’ How many motherfuckers you done seen with a jogging pant?” he said last year to BBC Radio 1.

In 2012, West decided to skip Paris Fashion Week. To some, that signaled that he was giving up on gaining respect from the fashion industry. As his recent work and appearances have shown, though, he isn’t one to give up easily, no matter how many times he’s rejected.
