Lenny Kravitz cringes while Kanye West pokes fun at him during gig

Lenny Kravitz was left cringing during a recent Kanye West concert in New York when the rapper poked fun at the rocker's fashion credentials.

West had no clue that the Let Love Rule singer was in the audience at his Madison Square Garden show when he told fans about an encounter he had had with "the billionaires" who run Paris' top fashion houses - and namechecked his famous fan.

According to gossip blogger Perez Hilton, the rapper said, "I said, ‘Wait a second, I gotta dream of doing a clothing line’. You know what they told me while I was in Paris, you know what the billionaires told me, when I told them about my dreams? They said Lenny Kravitz wanted the same thing. Like it's a motherf**king joke; there wouldn’t be no Kanye West if it wasn’t for Lenny Kravitz.

"The only difference between me and Lenny Kravitz is I turn up on those n**gas, I don’t give a f**k about looking cool or being cool, and this is no disrespect to Lenny (but) nobody want to look like a fool."
