Twitter users have been slamming Kanye West over his cast advert that invites 'multiracial models only' for his Yeezy season 4 line.
The controversial rapper tweeted the call on Friday afternoon ahead of auditions on West 26th Street in New York City on Sunday.
The tweet also asked for those trying out for a coveted spot as a model for his Yeezy Season 4 line to not wear makeup, and 'come as (they) are'.
One of the tweeter wrote:
'This is a major issue. In an industry that consistently cuts Black models out, you do this?! You are the absolute worst. Truly,'
'I don't see anything wrong with it because it's his vision,' 24-year-old Jordan Rolling told the New York Daily News.
'As an artist, if you have a vision, people shouldn't be able to say anything about that vision.''Multiracial doesn't mean light skinned,' another attendee, Imogen Cooper, told the newspaper.'You can be multiracial and have dark skin tones or pale skin tones. It doesn't really matter. If you look at people in line, there are people of all skin colors.'
