Kanye West Skirt, 12-12-12 Sandy Benefit Concert Performance: Twitter Fans Bash Rapper for Wearing 'Kim Kardashian's Leather Dress' [VIDEO]
Kanye West was the only rapper to hit the stage at the star-studded Hurricane Sandy 12-12-12 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC on Wednesday evening (Dec. 12) - and while many fans enjoyed his performance, many others couldn't understand why it appeared West was wearing his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's leather skirt up onstage! West rapped for a great cause, spitting an awesome rendition of many of his hit tracks including "Clique," "Turn Off the Lights," "Mercy," "Good Life," "Gold Digger," "Runaway," and "Run this Town." He also tore into the first live performance of Rihanna's remix to "Diamonds." And West did it all while flaunting a Pyrex hoodie sweatshirt, a black leather skirt or kilt of some sort, black leather jeggings (meggings, men + jeggings, get it?) and bright white Air-Yeezy sneakers. Wow, check out West's 12-12-12 performance below!
Here's a short clip of West finishing off his set at the 12-12-12 Sandy benefit concert, for a full video of the performance, go here.
Fans responded quickly to West's unique fashion choice on Twitter...
@SavantRAREBREED: "So is @KimKardashian concerned that her wedding dress is going to be less impressive than @KanyeWest's? She probably should be..."
@livingitbrezzy: "Everybody needs to stop hating on my boy @kanyewest he's not wearing a dress obviously it's a kilt."
@cokelogic: "Billy Corgan can pull off a leather dress, but Kanye West can't cant pull of this leather skirt."

@andrew_josephh: "Is kanye west wearing a skirt? Hahahahhahha who in gods name ever said that guy knows how to dress."
For a guy who usually dresses pretty suave, it looks like West made a fashion faux pas this time around! What do Mstarz think of West's performance, and his infamous leather skirt/kilt/dress, or whatever you want to call it!
