Kanye West’s eccentric fashion sense has almost always been a part of his Hip Hop image. Recently, his television performances have included an unmissable hot infrared suit with matching leather shoes. The man behind Kanye’s new look? Cassius Marcellus Cornelius Clay, a 19-year old Yale student who ‘Ye met by chance while shopping.
According to the New York Post, Kanye recruited Clay when he randomly spotted the young college student wearing unique gold-crested slippers at a Barneys. After complimenting the Yale sophomore, Kanye took him under his wing. A friend of Clay’s, Alex Klein told the Post, “[Kanye] was e-mailing Cassius saying, ‘You are an inspiration to me. I inspire people like Rihanna and Beyonce and you inspire me.'”
Clay would later take a leave of absence from school to act as one of Kanye’s three-person fashion team. Friends said Cassius Clay was always regarded as different even at his high school, Andover. “It’s tough being a character like Cassius at Andover,” said another friend. “People sometimes construed him the wrong way. He’s such a personality and in any high school, it is expected that you have to fit into a mold, and Cassius was never one for fitting in.”
Recently, Clay and ‘Ye hit up Phillip Lim’s New York showroom, where Clay selected a woman’s jacket for Kanye. While some staff members thought the selection was too out-there, ‘Ye loved it, and asked that a male version of that jacket be made.
“They’re both very similar,” continued the friend. “I can absolutely see how they can get along extremely well. Or they might each be too big of a diva that it can go either way.”
guy needs a team of 3 (white) people to dress him? thats mad gay!!
hahaha…for real^
True dat! What Kanye needs is a closet full of FUBU, Sean John and Diplomats baseball caps. STYYYYYYYYYYYYYLIN’!!!
Why are people still keepin people in categories? I KNEW there would be least 1 comment on here bout the fact he’s white. So fuckin what. Maybe Kanye don’t want some fubu jersey or any top that’s xxxl with sleeves past his forearms
settle down anonymous, i’m a white dude and i like what you said and all….but, you pretty much just did the same thing there with that whole baggy fubu rant. it was a little over the top and filled with fiery passion, i’m thinkin you got some inner bones of racism in ya there my friend. but yea regardless of race it is wicked gay to have a crew of DUDES standin around gettin paid to pick out clothes and dress you. the only way it could be gayer is if they were chinks. uh oh whoa!!!! get at me on that what. fuck you slant eyed bitches
how does someone who looks like a pussy and is into fashion end up with an ass kicking name like cassius clay???
yea its fuckin atrocious. his parents musta had high hopes turn into a steaming pile of disappointment.

Ok…
what a homo. learn how to dress yourself
why is he shopping in the womens section??
dude’s gotta have the coolest parents ever to name him that
Kanye is a genuis and all…
But if one man meets another man, because he saw him shopping and liked his shoes and felt the need to complement him…and then he goes on to email him talkin about “you inspire me”…
That man (KANYE) is gay.
lol kanye is a homo
So on SNL kanye says ‘them italians sure know how to make what moolies wan’t’ and talks some pointless race dividing bullshit but then takes fashion advice from someone white. Hypocrite. Not just him tho, there is quite a lot of hypocrisy in hip hop sometimes tho. btw.. I don’t think of myself or others as a color. Only Human.
WHAT THE HELL IS WORNG WITH THAT FOOL?
I AGREE, IF YOU NEED A STYLIST TO DRESS YOU (3 AT THAT) YOUR A HOMO! NO STYLE HAVING ASS FOOL. IF I WAS RICH ID BE DRAPED UP EVERYDAY…
FU KAYNE!!!
yea this dude stands fully and directly behind kanye and his new look. DIRECTLY BEHIND kanye (ass rammers)
With a name like Eddie Murphy you should know about ass rammers. Eddie Murphy is so far in the closet Johnnie Gill is in their with him.
this fuckin touchy pussy is all mad at me frontin like he ain’t got a copy of bowfinger on dvd and vhs in his collection at home. actin like kanye aint wrong and gay as fuck here, what the fuck is wrong wit you boy? and yo one last thing dickhead, u seen that movie precious? what did you think of my rolls in it? cgi like norbit and nutty professor1&2
Damn, if Aaron McGruder wasn’t right about rappers wearing womens clothes… Season TWO of the BoonDOCKS. Just wait it’ll start a new trend you’ll see all the homos buying his albums and supporting his music! Sticks and stones and weed and bones!!! This white dude from Yale probably in the skull and bones too… This shit is getting FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!
Oh yeah that red suit shit ain’t no new fashion trend… Eddie Murphy wore that shit in the 80s.. Kanye and white Cassius Clay get a BIG C’mon SON!!!! FOH!!!
This fool should have finished college! Kanye might be good $ for like maybe 5 more years , fukin idiot.
Some faggot who goes to Yale and shops at Barney’s probably doesn’t need a job, ever. Trust fund faggots.
Gold slippers? Nigga please.
real talk brrrr cosign that shit
These two homos are probably fucking right now. And fuck HHDX for putting this fashion shit on here, by the way.
The College Dropout.
THEY SHOULDA NEVER GAVE THAT NIGGA MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Kanye needs to kill himself! This fuckin’ gay shit is out of control. And how the hell he inspired Beyonce? She was doing her thang long before his bum ass came into the game. Way before he was sucking Jigga nuts.
Haha I personally think it’s dope. Kanye is allowing some random kid he met to live th dream. even if it only lasts for a few years, i’d still put off college for that opportunity. kanye’s a beast.
I wonder if it was a black kid if he would have given the same opportunity. He could have helped a poor inner city kid outlive his dream instead of a white kid from Yale who’s future was already set regardless. I’m just sayin…
If you like attending Unv.of Phoenix lol
I actually didn’t really think about that Kanye Hater, that does make a lot of sense, that kid was going to Yale. I think it would have been better if he helped an inner city kid as well, but as messed up as it sounds, and inner city kid probably couldn’t afford the kind of fashion that Kanye would notice.
That shit would be mad funny is cassius clay doesnt take this shit seriously and gives kanye a bunch of women cloths to rock and is like “yo ‘yeezy that shit is ill brother, trust me”
after ruining kanyes image he goes back to mommy and daddys mansion packs,then rocks the gold slippers all the way back to yale
Is this a serious story?
I’m not kidding, while it could be true, nothing seems more made up than a white kid from Yale named Cassius Clay becoming Kanye West’s fashion advisor.
Am I right in thinking that this kid being named Cassius Clay is fucking ridiculous? People don’t actually do that, do they? And the type of people who name their kids after incredibly famous boxers aren’t usually the kind of parents who have their kids go to Yale, right?
Again, am I the crazy one here?
