You'd hope Kanye West's 21 pop-up stores would be spreading only love and joy across the world over the weekend, with shoppers lining up to get that sweet The Life of Pablomerch.
But there was no love, joy or happiness for stationery shop owner Charlotte Knightley of Melbourne, Australia, who took to a Yeezy fan page on Facebook (since he doesn't have an official one) to voice her displeasure.
Knightley claimed having hundreds of Kanye fans line up outside her store for t-shirts "that say Yeezus," intimidated her "little old lady customers," and thus she lost some business.
"Now from one retailer to another our customer bases are quite different so when your customer [sic] swear at my little old lady customers who are just trying to come in to buy an album to protect their war-time treasures, it's a bit of a problem," Knightley wrote.
Now she wants A$6,000 (US$4,554), although acknowledged that West is in a bit of debt.
"I know you are a little in debt but maybe your wife could swing you $6K? For my family it's our livelihood," she added. The full Facebook post is below.
Mashable Australia has contacted Knightley to find out whether she has had a response, but we're not holding our breath. Looks like he's busy.
