Rapper Kanye West has reportedly asked picture agency Getty images to delete every picture of him wearing a leather skirt from online sites. The skirt was worn by the 'Church In The Wild' star during his 'Watch The Throne' tour with Jay Z leading to a slew of criticism from peers in the music world, including Chris Brown and Lord Jamar, who wrote a track 'Lift Up Your Skirt' about the fashion choice, reported Sun Online. With one lyric reportedly aimed at West, "He introduced the skinny jeans to the rap scene/Then he wore a skirt on the video screen/Then he wore it again at a memorial/I can't pretend this ain't deplorable." The skirt got particular attention at the Hurricane Sandy Benefit in December last year. His look didn't go down too well with fellow rapper Common, who wrote on Twitter, "Pyrex and a skirt? This ain't adding up And if u co-sign this I'm blocking u!! Straight up. I may have to save us." And now, in an attempt to erase all memory of the embarrassing display, West wants all the images to be removed from the internet.
