Warning: if you’re not a fan of Kanye West, he will probably call you out on Twitter. And then suggest drinks at what will probably become Taylor Swift’s new regular hang.
Days after New York fashion Week creator Fern Mallis publicly declared that she’s not a Yeezy fan, the rapper has taken to social media in a series of tweets. (You can almost hear his blood boil in these messages).
To Fern Mallis: I just want you to understand that attempting to do clothing has been very difficult

and I have encountered countless amounts of bigotry along the way.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
I have millions of ideas and I represent a new generation just trying to express themselves in a broken world.

It all started when Mallis, who served as Executive Director at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for a decade, commented on the production of getting West into a Jeremy Scott show on Wednesday. (They were both attendees).
“I’m kind of over Kanye,” the 68-year-old Mallis told the New York Post. “I mean, I’m not a fan of his music, and the attitude and the agenda is not my style.” That’s it. That’s all she said, folks. Who knows if she’s even listening to any music, period?
Anyway, here’s more of West’s rant:
I don’t call myself a designer as I was not allowed to go to Saint Martins

because I was too famous by the time I realized I wanted to design.

Fame is often looked down upon in the design world, so it’s actually been something I had to overcome.

All we have are our dreams, and you can step on our dreams and ideas all you want, but we won’t stop fighting.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
We want to innovate and we will win someday.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
To our delight, West saved the best tweet for last:
If you wanna have a drink with me, book a table at the spotted pig when I’m back in NY.

New York Fashion Week wrapped Thursday.
