And when Kanye West was spotted out and about in Paris for fashion week it was no different as the rapper was hit with a perfect storm of autograph seekers and photographers.
At one point the 36-year-old's pristine white jumper almost became collateral damage in the frenzy as a wayward pen wielded by an aggressive fan threatened to sully the expensive clothing item.

Close call: Fans armed with pens got a little too close for comfort to Kanye West's jumper in Paris during fashion week
Narrowly escaping the marker, Kanye warned the man: 'Watch the pen! Yo watch the pen! Don't get markings on my sweater.'
The man was brandishing a sneaker for the hip hop icon to sign but was clearly not paying attention to the potential risk for an accident.
But Kanye appeared cool under pressure and managed to remain polite despite all of the invasive hoopla surrounding him.

The Yeezus rapper teamed the jumper with a white shirt, blue jeans, and lace up leather boots.
Meanwhile, away from fashion week Kanye is said to be joining forces with American novelist and screenwriter Brett Easton Ellis on a gritty new film project based primarily on his biographical 2013 album, Yeezus.
Sources claim the Black Skinhead rapper will write the script with American Psycho author Ellis and is keen to ensure there’s a prominent role for fiancée Kim Kardashian.

‘Kim is definitely going to be in it,’ an inside told Radar. 'The screenplay already features her character.
‘They’re still working on the script, so it’s unclear at this point if Kim will be a major star of the movie or making a smaller cameo. But her role in the movie will be pivotal.’
Ellis has also confirmed that the lyrical content on West’s latest album will provide a jumping off point for the muted film project.
‘Kanye and I have been meeting about writing a script for him and so that’s a project that’s kind of in the works,’ he told Vice.
‘He came and asked me to write the film. I didn't want to at first. Then I listened to Yeezus. It was early summer last year and I was driving in my car. He'd given me an advance copy, and I thought, regardless of whether I'm right for this project, I want to work with whoever made this.
So f*** it, I said yes. And that's how it happened. That was seven or eight months ago. We'll see what happens.'
