Issa Rae hosted the 2018 CFDA Awards Monday night, and delivered a memorable opening monologue to the fashionable crowd. She opened with a slideshow of photographs that poked fun at her past fashion choices. While joking about her personal style, she took aim at Kanye West, saying, "When I’m left to my own devices, I’m about as fashionable as Kanye is black–only when it’s convenient. You guys, that joke was my choice, just like slavery," referring to the rapper's previous comments to TMZ.
