In preparation for Yeezy Season 4, Kanye West made a casting call for “multiracial women only” that has been met with a great deal of criticism on social media.
‘Ye put out the call yesterday (September 3) in a photo uploaded to Twitter, which read: “Season 4 Casting Multiracial Women Only No Makeup Please Come As You Are.” The image also included a date (September 4), time, and address.
Yeezy Season 4 is set to debut the first week of New York Fashion Week.
Given that the Chicago rapper’s casting call suggests a certain look, many were quick to come for the musician’s jugular.
It was nearly 10 years ago when Kanye referred to mixed women as “mutts,” during a December 2006 interview with Essence magazine.
“If it wasn’t for race mixing there’d be no video girls. Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood they call ‘em mutts,” the rapper said during the interview.
A handful of tweets calling out Kanye West over his casting call for “multiracial women,” can be found below.
he is a bitch
And you. A bitches bitch…
“You’re the bitch, bitch.” – Hittman
why are they bitching only about black women? whites cant come neither
Facts!
Who cares about white people?
Maybe he meant not just black or white or one race all races stupid. Why does this have to be just light skinned woman. People are racist he probably wants all people not just blacks
People are too f-ing sensitive nowadays, nitpicking and overhyping never solved a damn thing. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
This! I swear to GOD you can’t do or say a damn thing any longer without getting “dragged” by the general public. Sensitivity level is @ an all time high.
Salty fuckin bitches.
This is just a real polite way of saying no white bitches please. If you know the meaning of Multicultural you won’t just think light skin
Newsflash: Reality check guys…..this is Kanye’s low key and arrogant way of saying “no black women”, but mixed women with fair or light skin straight hair, are the preference. In other words women that look similar to his wife! Women of all colors should be insulted by this arrogant clown’s casting call! Why do people keep supporting this guy’s music?
U take kosher or regular salt with your meals
His preference, his wife, his fucking music video, he can have whoever and whatever is his preference.
Don’t like the video? Don’t watch it.
Damn.
You should see the casting calls in Hollywood. This should not be taken offensively. Art is art. He has a certain look he’s going for for THIS show. Last season showcased a wide variety of women. Welcome to entertainment.
Even worse than the sensitive women, is the passive aggressive text and call. Don’t disguise it. If you don’t want any black women just say so
I thought light skin Woman or man are still black. I mean Chris Brown is black isnt he ??
I don’t eat any dark feathered chicken
Looking for a certain type of woman to portray a certain image he has for this particular situation. Nothing wrong with this, don’t be f-cking sensitive idiots holy sh-t people
i can see how people could find this offensive, but look back at the season 3 show. There was only one non black person in the whole show, and i would say that it was predominantly darker skinned people too. the season 2 presented a rainbow of complexions. it would be different if this was a pattern, but it is not.
