'What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation,' PETA tells MTV News.

Not everyone is in love with Kanye West's "Theraflu."
While Yeezy's fans are fawning over his new track, PETA (or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) took exception to the song's hook. "Someone tell PETA my mink is draggin' on the floor," Kanye spits in the song's opening bars and then again on the chorus.
Well, the animal-rights organization heard the Louis Vuitton Don loud and clear and fired back with a message of their own on Thursday (April 5). "What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings," PETA's senior vice president Dan Mathews said to MTV News in a statement. "He's a great musician but doesn't seem to have the fashion sense to design anything more than caveman costumes."
Seems like PETA also caught wind of 'Ye's fashion outing in early March when he presented his fall/winter collection during Paris Fashion Week; the rapper used quite a bit of fur in his women's line.
PETA hasn't closed the door completely on Kanye, however. They're still hopeful that he will eventually have a change of heart. "We keep hoping that one day he'll find his heart and join evolved style icons — including Russell Simmons, Pink and Natalie Portman — who have dropped animal skins," Mathews said.
The MC's fashion taste isn't the only topic addressed on "Theraflu." Kanye touches on his ex-girl Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa (Rose's new man), and his feelings for Kim Kardashian. "The whole industry wanna f--- ya old chick/ Only n---a I got respect for is Wiz/ And I'll admit I fell in love with Kim/ Around the same time she had fell in love with him," Kanye spits over the Hit-Boy-produced beat.
He even threw a perceived shot a Kim's ex-husband and New Jersey Nets star, Kris Humphries: "Lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team."
