She don't believe in shooting stars
But she believe in shoes and cars

from Kanye West (Ft. Dwele) – Flashing Lights Lyrics on Rap Genius

Kanye’s opening lines mirror those of Don Williams in “I Believe in You”:

I don’t believe in superstars, Organic food and foreign cars.

We are given an image of a hard-nosed, materialistic girl who doesn’t care about ideals

In this song, the “she” seems to represent Kanye’s fans, who temporarily abandon him every time he does something a little silly

In the final act of the 3-part music video for this song, the girl kills Kanye with a shovel (hence a clever pun on “she don’t believe in shooting stars” — she won’t kill famous people with a gun, but she’ll hack them with a shovel!)
