Ask Kissy reports that rapper, Kanye Omari West only wants “mutts” to model his clothes and Twitter reacted with rage. This isn’t the first time the rapper has expressed his feelings towards mixed women. In a 2006 Essence interview the emcee explained that there wouldn’t be video girls if it wasn’t for face mixing. He then reveals that mixed girls are called “mutts” in the hood.
According to Highsnobiety the rapper is expected to present YEEZY season 4 this week in New York City. Prior to his requests for multiracial women, the world was praising the 39-year-old’s “Fade” video, featuring Teyana Taylor. The rapper is a marketing genius who fully understands the fact that controversy sells.

The rapper’s mother, Donda West, was not multiracial and she would not have passed the ‘brown paper bag test’. This is why it’s difficult to understand the rapper’s logic when he places limits on the opportunities he is able to provide to people who look like him.
