During a two-hour live interview with Show Studio, Kim Kardashian’s husband said he’s been held back in further developing his fashion career because of it.

“I feel like I got discriminated in fashion for not being gay,” he explained, adding it’s the opposite in the music industry. “In music, you definitely get discriminated in music if you are gay,” he said. “It takes amazing talents to break down barriers. “

West went on to cite Frank Ocean as an example as someone who has been successful in breaking down those barriers. “There are people who broke the ground and he broke the ground,” he said.

"Everyone is sitting laughing at me... me sitting here trying my absolute hardest and everyone is laughing at me," he said of his fashion efforts. "They were definitely f****** not letting me in the shows and laughing at me."

Also in the interview, West praised Caitlyn Jenner, saying, "I just feel so proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for the generations to come."
