Messiah complex is a strong word.

But perhaps not too strong when it comes to Kardashian-ised Kanye West, who let rip at his previously favourite designer.

It seems the label-loving new father's feelings were hurt during a recent visit to fashion capital Paris.

The 36-year-old called for a meeting with Louis Vuitton's vice-president Yves Carcelle, but old Yves wasn't so keen.

Clearly traumatised by the snub, the rapper decided to use a radio interview opportunity to share his feelings.

'I was made for this moment. What happened was while I was out in Paris I wanted to meet with the head of Louis Vuitton, he said I don't understand why we need to meet with you,' the Golddigger star ranted.

'Now do you want to meet with me? Now do you want to meet with me'

'I said, "let me explain to you why you need to meet with me."

'Everybody in New York City right now don't buy any Louis Vuitton until after January.

'Now do you want to meet with me? Now do you want to meet with me? Influence. They think that I don't realise my power.'

And speaking of power (again), the Yeezus star feels the Kardashians don't get enough recognition for their influence over important matters.

'A lot of what the Kardshians do, I don’t think they get enough credit for what they do.

'They prep America to accept interracial relationships,' he said of 29-year-old Khloe who is married to basketballer Lamar Odom, and fiancé Kim, 33, who has previously dated music producer Damon Thomas, as well as basketballers Reggie Bush and Kris Humphries.

'I’m not talking about me, I can hope on a plane. I can date a white woman, I can date a black woman, and no matter what they say in the barber shop don’t matter, because I don’t get my haircut there.

'For the people that do, though, there’s a white woman that’s getting talked down to by her friends because she’s dating a black guy.

'Now you’ve got a point of reference, that you can say, "Well, actually this couple right here, that’s dope."'
