Kanye West accused of ripping off fans by selling £1.89 T-shirts for £70 at his London pop-up store
Pablo T-shirts cost a few quid to make... but mark-up is extreme
KANYE West has been accused of duping fans after selling cheap T-shirts for £70 at his London pop-up store.
The rapper announced the arrival of his Life Of Pablo shop last week, with fans queuing for hours outside to gain a glimpse of the rapper-designed treasures inside.
However, not everyone who has left the hip outlet - on east London's trendy Old Street - will be a happy customer.
A closer inspection of the labels inside the £70 T-shirts available in the store reveals that they are printed on Gildan ultra cotton T-shirts - which retail online for less than £2.
One fuming customer told The Sun online: "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.
"However, I'm not so excited about my purchase now I know it's basically a cheap T-shirt with a print.
"Kanye couldn't even be bothered to pull out the label and put something of his own in there.
"I'm gutted, to be honest. Really gutted."
It seems like it's not only UK fans who have been duped in to paying high prices for low quality items.
One US fan tweeted: "We are here p***ed the #KanyeWest #pablo Clothing Is cheap fabric what a rip off wasted time."
Another added: "As a @kanyewest FAN, it's really disappointing if it's in fact true Pablo merch is printed on such cheap product & then overpriced."
But one fan asked if the whole point of Kanye's twenty-one pop-ups was to dupe fans.
They tweeted: "What if the Pablo pop up is actually an elaborate prank? Seeing how many people will drop their paycheques on cheap Chinese knock offs."
A representative for Kanye West has been approached for comment.
