All the world’s a sweating over Yeezy 3 at Madison Square Garden.

Subplot: On Instagram, today, one of the extras, (who stood at the same venue as Kanye and was blessed with a few seconds of fame on the megatron,) alleges that he AND the other extras were not paid for their services. According to this story, he wasn’t wearing Yeezy, he had to wear secondhand threads, which other people claim is true. Whatever the case, at least the clothes were color coordinated, key word being clothes. Oh, Yeezus take the wheel.

He writes, “lmao I was on the megatron at Madison for yeezy 3. shit was trash. Kanye finnessed 1200 young black adults into working as extras for free to a sold out white crowd that was screaming “all day nigga”. We didn’t find out we weren’t getting paid til 6am. He sent us to jersey and put us in Salvation Army clothes (not yeezy, my pants were carhartt and my shirt was American apparel). I jugged some sambas from wardrobe though.”

Others on the trail of this spirited conversation suggest otherwise on the payment front. What do you think? Is seeing Anna and Kim yuk it up payment enough for all the sacrifices you’ve ever made? What proof would you want to see that Kanye: deity, Cosby sympathizer, and spirit guide on What We Should Wear mistreated his army? Indeed it was an all over the place crazy time, which is not wholly surprising. We have reached out for comment, and will update the post the moment we hear.

But one thing’s indisputably true. Our AOL Instant messenger radar tells us that is WAS NOT indeed laughing his arse off about the situation.
