KANYE West paid Anna Wintour $1million to be accepted in the fashion industry, Janice Dickinson has claimed.
Former model Janice alleged that Kanye, 44, “hired” the Vogue editor, 71, to “get him on his feet” when he first launched his Yeezy clothing line.
Janie made the wild claims during an appearance on the podcast.
“Look what Yeezy did with the clothing line and the footwear,” the former ANTM judge, 66, said.
“Yeezy hired Anna Wintour. Gave her a million bucks to initially get him on his feet as far as colors and style wise. It sure did.”
Anna’s spokesperson denied Janice’s claims, telling The Sun: “There is no truth to this.” The Sun has also contacted Kanye’s rep for comment.
Kanye and Anna initially seemed to be on good terms, with Vogue publishing photos of his 2014 wedding to his now-ex .
STRAINED RELATIONSHIP?
