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.

46. The REAL tragedy here for Kanye is that the plastic surgeon whose botched job was black and wasn't white, so Kanye can't play the race card and blame whitey for murdering his mom. It is always a tragedy when a black American is a victim of a crime carried out by another black person and not a white person--it leaves the victim with no one to blame. Tsk...tsk...tsk

48. Kanye our hearts goes out to you, yours during this very tough time. I won't have found this story if it wasn't for www.BillboardPal.com posting it.
It is very understandable that Kanye would cancel this show come on his mother just died. I loss my mother in 2001 and its a loss you can never replace, So please its no news story that he cancel this type of show or any show .
Celebrities are people too and a loss such as your mother is a blow especially if they are close.
So please, as for Kanye many of your fans sends they prayers to you. God don't make no mistakes, he knows you can handle it, he sends his comforter Jesus Christ to assit you as well during this tough times.

49. Personally, I think Kanye is an egotistical jerk at times BUT I feel for him. Hope he's okay. I can't imagine what he must be going through.

50. I'd like to express my sympathy to Mr. West, family and friends. I'm so sorry you had to lose your mom so sudden and unexpectedly. Her death has me second guessing my thoughts about having a tummy tuck myself. We as humans need to look at ourselves as perfect and not always needing to be fixed.

Kanye probably isn't able to thinK about anything to do with performing after losing his mom it is sad that this happen to a very beautiful spirited black woman and I hope that the truth comes out about the doctor since he is making it seem like he wasn't at fault KANYE KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MUCH SUPPORT FOR U AND YOUR FAMILY RIP DONDA WEST

56. Where do you people get the idea that every one who earned a Phd is highly educated? I know at least 12 people who I wouldn't trust hiring even though they have their Phd. And, that is saying a lot because I don't have a Phd.

So what if Donda West earned a Phd? Her son is a college drop-out and she chose to be mutilated by a degreed imbecile. Isn't that telling?

57. He's not performing because he doesn't want to see any women in bras and panties. He's wondering where the hell the men in thongs are at.

60. i agree with no 14, a death of a love one makes u question things and last year i lost some one really close to me and it was a big slap in the face it was unexpected i felt like a walking zombie i didnt date anyone or go out anywhere i kinda shut myself off from the world im doing much better now but I believe that Kanye is a strong person and he will get through it and he will survive , but its gonna take time my condolences go out to him and his family
