Rapper Kanye West's representative has fired back at accusations that the models at his recent fashion show and album release party were not paid.
The rapper, 38, debuted his Yeezy Season 3 collection and staged a listening party for his new album, The Life of Pablo, at Madison Square Garden in time for New York Fashion Week, reported Contactmusic.
His wife Kim Kardashian and many of her family were in attendance, alongside celebrities including Gigi Hadid, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and actresses Jaime King and Chloe Sevigny.
However, in a lengthy post on Instagram, a user known only by the name of 'kur-ents', who claims to have taken part in the show, alleged many of the models were working for free, with some even wearing clothes from retailer American Apparel.
