Kanye West is accused by fans for flogging cheap t-shirts for £70 at his pop-up stores in London

Kanye West has left fans gutted as they accuse him of flogging cheap t-shirts for £70 at his pop-up store in London. The Famous rapper , who previously declared he was in $53million of debt, could be making a killer profit from his garms, as customers discovered the Gildan ultra cotton t-shirts with fancy logos printed on can be bought for £1.89 online.
Fans queued for hours for the store on London's Old Street to open its doors last week, where the star is selling his limited edition merchandise, including tops, jumpers, and hats featuring Gothic font used by artist Cali Thornhill DeWitt.
But they were left gutted when they realised the t-shirts were made of cheap fabric, and the label hadn't even been changed.
"I queued up for hours to get in to Kanye's shop and I was so excited to get one of the limited edition London T-shirts," one customer moaned, according to The Sun.
"However, I'm not so excited about my purchase now I know it's basically a cheap T-shirt with a print. I'm gutted, to be honest."
And it's not just Yeezy's British followers who have been ticked off by the whole thing, one fan from the US also tweeted: "We are here, p**sed the #KanyeWest #pablo Clothing is cheap fabric, what a rip off, wasted time."
Yeezy's name or his album title, The Life of Pablo, is spelled out on many of the items and supporters have been waiting weeks to get their hands on them.
The cheap t-shirts are available on hivis.co.uk and Kanye is yet to comment on the accusations he's duped fans.
Kanye promised them at the launch of his latest collection that he would bring down the price of his products for Yeezy Season 3, after selling holey jumpers for about £1,620.
Carlos Rico, 19, from Essex, braved the rain and waited for 15 HOURS for the new shop to open in London.
"I'm a big Kanye West fan and a big fan of fashion. So Kanye West and fashion in London? You've just got to go," he told the Press Association. "I wanted to be at the front of the queue to make sure I get my stuff.
"I just love his music and everything he stands for. Kanye is like Marmite, you love him or you hate him."

Human tree: Meet the 7-year-old boy suffering from a rare condition known as 'epidermodysplasia verruciformis'

The body of seven-year-old Ripon Sarker is covered in scaly warts because he suffers from the condition known as 'epidermodysplasia verruciformis'.
Youngster Ripon, from Thakurgaon, Bangladesh, was only admitted to hospital for the first time this month because his family couldn't afford treatment.
The young boy was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital on August 20.
His dad Mahendra Das said: "They haven't carried out tests on him. Physicians say they will look into this matter before treatment."
Poor Ripon cannot walk or eat by himself because of his tree-like features – but doctors have said they are hopeful that his hands and feet are operable as his fingers and toes and can still be identified.
Ripon's symptoms match the ones of 26-year-old Abul Bajander – dubbed ' tree man ' – who also has the same condition and was recently operated at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Burn and plastic surgery unit coordinator Samanta Lal Sen said: "We are hopeful about the child's situation.
"In Abul's case, we couldn't distinguish the warts from his fingers.
"Ripon's warts have not expanded to that extent yet. He can identify his fingers and toes.
"We might be able to treat him with fewer operations."
The physician went on to explain that the child's family is extremely poor.
He said: "That's why he lacks proper nutrition. His physical development has been hampered as well. We need to give him proper nutrition before the operations begin.
"He might require blood as well."
Abul, 26, went under the knife in March to treat the extremely rare growths.
During the procedure, doctors operated on his right hand to eliminate some of the smaller warts.
The medics estimated the growths removed weighed at least 11 pounds.
They also suggested Abul would need at least 15 further operations in the course of one year.
Samanta Lal Sen, faculty director at the hospital, said: "We removed some small warts from his palm but Bajandar would need up to 15 operations in total to rid his body of the growths in one year."

Usain Bolt pictured with scantily-clad women for wild birthday celebrations organised by him

Usain Bolt has been pictured kissing a mystery brunette in a top nightclub, cuddling up to a Brazilian student in bed, and partying until the early hours, to mark his birthday.
And now the Jamaican runner has shocked once again with a second night of partying - and was snapped surrounded by crowds of scantily-clad women in a London nightclub.
The star joined pals at west London club Cirque le Soir on Monday, before taking to the stage and singing to his fans.
He was seen surrounded by a bevy of beauties inside, before a stream of them QUEUED outside - apparently ready to pile into a taxi he had organised to take them all to another venue.
A fan caught the moment Bolt took the mic, and captioned a video on Instagram: "We gave him the mic because we cool like that."
Wearing all black on the night out, the Olympic hero flashed the peace sign to cameras, and added a black cap - making him easily noticeable in Snapchat photos taken from inside.
"We gave him the mic and he was telling everybody it had been his birthday a couple of days ago," a waitress at the club, Yvett said. "From about 1 until 3am people were buying him drinks – champagne, Sex on the Beach, Kamikaze shots – everybody was just appreciating him and celebrating his gold medals."
A group of girls were later snapped queueing to get into a taxi, around 5.30am, before it followed the sportsman's car away.

Her former partner Douglas Donato Pereira, father of her two young children, was a drugs lord shot and killed in a gun battle with cops.
Nicknamed Diná Terror, he died in March this year.
He was a crime gang leader in a favela known as Faz Quem Quer, which means 'do who you want' in Portugese.
He was accused of torturing, killing and filming the death of 18-year-old Rayssa Christine Machado in 2014, and of being involved in the death of Raianne Dantas de Jesus, a girl who was shot 20 times.
He posted images of himself on-line with a semi automatic rifle with his name on it, and in a gangster-style pose with bling-style rings on every finger and a rifle over his shoulder.
Local media suggested that her connection to Dina Terror could explain why she did not want to talk about her night with Bolt. She was reported as saying: "Now, he (Bolt) will be furious. He's going to be thinking, why did I take pictures with that girl?"
"I never wanted to be famous, I'm dying of shame."
She tagged gangster Dina in pictures of her with the kids. When he died, she also posted an image of them together in a car, with the message: "How long am I going to have to pretend I'm happy without you at my side?"

The Kardashians could face legal action over their social media advertisments

Truth in Advertising Inc, a non-profit organisation which is "dedicated to empowering consumers to protect themselves against false and deceptive marketing," has claimed the family's posts are breaking the law.
While the family regularly share pictures of their favourite products on Instagram, Truth In Advertising alleges numerous posts have failed to mention that they had been paid for.
Kylie Jenner shared a picture last week, which she captioned: "About to wash my face with @Pureleef 's new facial cleanser exfoliator. It's one of the best cleansers that I've tried!"
Despite adding a link to the website and encouraging fans to visit, the star failed to tag the post as an advertisement.
The organisation have reportedly sent the family a "legal letter" detailing the rules they may be breaking under the US legal system's Federal Trade Commission Act.
According to The Fashion Law, the letter accuses the Kardashians of deceptive marketing and mentions famous brands including Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfield, and Estée Lauder.

“We have found that members of the Kardashian/Jenner family are engaged in deceptive marketing campaigns,” claim the organisation.
They added that the family supposedly have “a plethora of posts do not clearly or conspicuously disclose their relationships with the companies being promoted in the posts as is required by federal law.”
While Advertising Inc cannot bring legal action against the Kardashians, they can recommend that the FTC do so.
We have reached out to a rep for the family for further comment.

Incredible wedding photos: Couples are wrapped together in plastic bag with oxygen sucked out for a perfect shot

Newlyweds are usually all wrapped up in each other - but these shots show the couples who take it very literally indeed.
These incredible images are of shrink-wrapped wedding couples who risk DEATH to get the most up-close wedding photographs that they can.
Photographer Hal Kawaguchi covers the lovebirds in lube then vacuum packs them together in a huge plastic bag - sucking out all the oxygen.
But the Japanese snapper reveals that he even keeps a paramedic on hand - as the suffocated couples must hold their breath and he has just four seconds to take the shots or else disaster could happen.
Despite risking death if anything goes wrong, Hal has been flooded with requests from couples - and even newlyweds - for the odd portraits and wedding pictures.
"I decided to vacuum pack couples as a way to show how close and in love they are," Hall explains.
"At first I chat with the couples and tell them what will happen. A rehearsal is carried out without going into a bag at first. Then, they climb into the bag. It likes assembling a puzzle.
"I suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner until there's none left. This gives me four seconds to take the shot.
"In this extremely limited time I can't release the shutter more than twice. They're never in danger though as I have a rescue body guard on hand at all times.'
Hal uses lube and coolant gel to slide the couples inside the bag and ensure there's no friction with the plastic.
A household vacuum cleaner then sucks out the oxygen before he dashes back behind the camera to take two quick photos.
The couples have to hold their breath for about ten seconds or more while the process takes place.
Hal's pictures started as an art project but the craze has taken off and he now receives requests for couples who want a set of the extraordinary pictures.
Newlyweds have even commissioned him to shoot their wedding pictures.
"Men and women are attracted to each other and they try to become one.
"This fundamental desire carries an energy that affects everything in the world. I wonder what is the reason we have to make such an effort to become one. Possibly we were all originally one.
"With my pictures, I try to show this power of love by getting the couples as close together as possible. The less distance there is between them, the stronger the power of love.
"I think love is the most important thing in the earth. I think that everything positive in the world starts by focusing on love."

Student tells of her night experience with world fastest man Usain Bolt- "I never wanted to be famous, I'm dying of shame"

A 20-year-old student who appeared in photos in bed with Rio 2016 Olympics hero Usain Bolt says she is 'dying of shame' since the snaps went viral.
The pictures of the fastest man in the world relaxing off the track were shared on messaging service Whatsapp by Jady Duarte and have been circulated widely online.
The Jamaican runner - who turned 30 yesterday - appears bare-chested lying on his back with his arm around the woman.
In another photo Bolt appears to be lying topless on top of the student snuggling up to her neck while she uses her free hand to take a selfie of the pair together from behind him.
Bolt appears to give Duarte a kiss on the cheek while she stares into the camera.
It is not clear whether he knew that snap was being taken at the time.
Local newspaper Extra reports that Duarte says that the impact of the pictures has not been good for her.
She explains: "It's very negative. I never wanted to be famous, I'm dying of shame."
Duarte insisted that she just shared the pics among her friends - and that she didn't expect the whole of the world to see them.
She added: "I just sent it to the group of my girlfriends, now you see...
"I just sent and said 'anyone who saw the Olympics will know who is."
Local newspaper Extra also reports she also claimed to have no idea who Bolt was - despite the extrovert sprinter's notorious worldwide fame.
Duarte says she was at the club All In in Barra in the West Zone of Rio, with friends when "Bolt spotted her".
She said: "He sent a security guard to call me over. We spoke quickly.
"But at that moment I didn't know it was him, because there were many Jamaicans who looked similar."
Duarte fell short of revealing more details of what happened next - other than to say: "It was not a big deal. It was normal.
"I'd rather not talk about it - in order not to complicate matters.
"Like I said, it was normal."
It's also emerged that Bolt was allegedly briefly following Duarte on Instagram - one of just 104 people he was following - but that 'follow' appears to have since been deleted.
The paper Extra reports that the sprinter was following Duarte on Instagram - supported with a screenshot purporting to show her as one of his followers.
