AceShowbiz - Kanye West stormed off the red carpet and demanded a "trash journalist" who quizzed wife Kim Kardashian be removed from a fashion show.
The 41-year-old rapper was at the Ralph Lauren 50th-anniversary show in New York City at the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park on Friday, September 07, when a reporter asked him about his wife's feud with Tyson Beckford.
The pair has been locked in a bitter online war of words after Beckford allegedly bodyshamed the reality star, before Kim lashed out and alleged the male model was gay.
"Why are you allowing trash journalists?" Kanye asked event organisers, who eventually had the reporter removed from the press line.
"She needs to be kicked out right now or I'm leaving. Either she leaves or me, you decide," he is heard saying in a video obtained by TMZ.
"The Life of Pablo" rapper was overheard telling the journalist, who was reportedly from Entertainment Tonight: "Ralph Lauren would be very ashamed that you asked that trash question."
Kanye, who had already posed for photos on the carpet with wife Kim, pointed out the reporter and her team as cameras rolled.
The hip-hop star even went as far as leaving the premises of the event until the PR team confirmed that the journalist had been removed.
He seemed happy with his decision to return to the fashion event, and ended up seated at a table with Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey.
"I got a great seat," the Donald Trump fan wrote on Twitter, captioning a snap of him with Oprah.
