It’s no secret model/singer Tyson Beckford isn’t a fan of Kanye West or his estranged wife Kim Kardashian. Beckford clashed with the couple three years ago when he suggested the former reality television queen had gone under the knife. Kardashian then suggested Beckford was gay and the feud was officially on.
But that isn’t stopping him from speaking on Kanye or Kardashian-related topics. In a recent interview with VladTV, Beckford was asked what he thought about Ye’s Yeezy collaboration with adidas. Rather than completely slam the billion-dollar venture, the 50-year-old New York native took a more diplomatic approach — albeit with a healthy dose of attitude.
“I don’t think anything of it,” he said matter-of-factly. “It doesn’t cross my mind. It’s not something that I like. I’m just not interested. It works for others. I see people in it, but I can’t see me in it. For me personally, that brand is not for me, but obviously it’s doing well and my opinion for him don’t matter.
“Good for him. It’s just not what I would I wear. I’m not saying it’s a shit brand, it’s just not my shit [laughs]. I’m an Air Force 1, Vans, Louis Vuitton guy. For me, when I do combat boots, I do like real military issued.”
The contention between Tyson Beckford, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian started in 2018 when an Instagram photo of Kardashian prompted Beckford to write, “Sorry I don’t care for it personally. She is not real. Doctor fucked up on her right hip,” to which she replied, “Sis we all know why you don’t care for it,” implying Beckford is a closeted homosexual.
Speaking to VladTV in September, Beckford rehashed the Kardashian controversy and referred to her as a “dumbass.”
“Sometimes I’ll get a couple suckers on Instagram who will try to say like, ‘Oh, yeah. You gay,’” he said. “Then I’m like ‘Where is this coming from?’ You heard it from that dumbass? And then you heard it from that stupid bitch Wendy Williams? Man, fuck all of them! I ain’t never been gay, nor do I have a problem with gay people. It’s just like, don’t try to turn a situation into something because I got the best of you.”
Tyson Beckford Says Kanye West Was Too Afraid To Confront Him Over Kim Kardashian Plastic Surgery Claim
Beckford also accused Kanye West of sending a member of his entourage to confront him in the bathroom at at Ralph Lauren’s 50th Anniversary Fashion Show in September 2018 and later suggested he was too scared of Beckford to do it himself.
“I was standing in the middle of Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton,” Beckford recalled. “He [Kanye] was on the other side of the table, and when I tried to make eye contact with him, he wouldn’t look at me.”
Once the man approached him, Beckford said, “I suggest you get out of this bathroom before I wipe you all over the wall. I’m like, ‘You did not want no smoke.’ I had on my tuxedo. I would have undone my tie and got into it if you wanted to, but you didn’t. I think you didn’t realize how big I was.”
Everyone has a problem with Kanye,or should I say Ye
Both them ninjas gay
I thought he was married to Tomica Woods-Wright ? the widow of Eazy-E?
and you put ur face to that stankment
I always been saying the Yeezy brand is the ugliest shit I ever seen
Because of his weirdo persona and cult following, he can sell any garbage and idiots will pay top dollar for that shit
He not gay but he talking bout he tried to make eye contact with him and undo his tie and get it on with him in the bathroom…..ok tyson. U not gay..
Don’t know about you but when there’s a violent situation brewing for me I always stare down the other person before cracking their eye socket with a right hook. A man who can’t look into his opponents eyes is a bitch in my experience, these are men who are scared to actually follow through and fight with you. Kanye hides behind his security and money.
Factz! Errthang I done heard Tyson say bout Kim K bin factz. Da whole situation bout her being passed around lyk Hollywood hand-me-downs is factz. Da surgery n enhancements 4 dat look she got is factz. Da fact dat she worked up bout sumthin dat she claim is not true suggest it’s factz.
I’m with TYson on everything. Kanye has become a trash artist with a god like complex. And people respect his ignorance and flip flopping, because in 6 months he’ll be saying the complete opposite of what he’s saying now. Like boi, you were a backpacker, what? because you put gold in your mouth, you GD? gtfoh! I don’t believe it. This fake tough guy is some weirdo stuff.
White girls look weird with manufactured body parts.
