Kanye Slips Out of Victoria's Secret Show?

Rather than rap for (and with) a flock of feathered lingerie models, it seems that Kanye West will not go on with the show.
Victoria's Secret/Kanye West
ET is reporting that the rapper, whose mother died just last week and whose autopsy was performed yesterday, has pulled out of a scheduled appearance at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The annual jigglefest tapes tomorrow in Hollywood and will air Dec. 4.

We contacted Kanye's rep at Universal Music, who didn't return the call. Full Picture, the PR firm handling the show, says it hasn't heard about anything about Kanye's participation -- and assumes he's still performing.

31. I agree with the sentiments of many that Kanye should be left alone to grieve the loss of his mother and attend to family matters. Lingerie-adorned models will just have to wait another day for a telecast with Kanye.

33. My condolences go out to Kayne and his family; however, I don't think that is an appropriate picture that you have posted of him with Victoria Secret models in the back round of a time or sorrow is totally wrong... I'm sure you come of came up with a much better picture...

40. Kanye, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. I hope in time you will be able to continue with your appearances, but please take the time to recover.

You are in my prayers.

41. Kanye's mom wouldn't have died if George Bush liked black people. It's George Bush's fault that his mom died. Never mind her vanity...

42. My thoughtsand prayers go out to kanye West. I m not at all familiar with his music. I am only aware of the name. It is a shame that an educated woman like his mother would feel the need from my perspective for unnecessary cosmetic surgery. I suppose she allowed herself to get caught up in the Hollywood madness!! What was trying to look like at 58 years of age??? She was a nice looking woman, and she should have continued to age gracefully. She did not need the knife. She could have gone to the gym!!! She would be alive today, and celebrating Thanksgiving with her son. My heart aches for Kanye.

43. I would like to sincerely send my condolences to the West family. I am especially praying for Kanye. His relationship with his mother was a beautiful thing and I know his heart isbroken. As for you idiots who have not a caring word to say, I only hope you never lose someone as important to you and if you do, DON'T EXPECT SYMPATHY. You are cold hearted people who need to just GO TO HELL!!!!!!

44. TMZ and all the other media need to leave the stories about him alone all together for a while. I guess they all think $$ is worth more than morals and respect!
