KANYE WEST: HOW TO BE VERY, VERY, UNPOPULAR

It was bad enough when Kanye West made antisemitic comments and started denying the Holocaust and praising Hitler. To no one’s surprise, he lost his collaborations with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga– not to mention his then-wife Kim Kardashian, and lots of friends. According to MediaTakeout, Kanye also designed a white hoody for his Yeezy collection that was inspired by the KKK! (you can SEE the resemblance in this photo Kanye posted of North modeling the sample) SOMEONE had the presence of mind to nix production of the hoody, and Kanye dodged another bullet…

KANYE SCRAMMED AND LEFT A SMALL TOWN IN TATTERS

Kanye West’s grandiose plans to relocate Yeezy fashion headquarters to Cody, Wyoming were dashed long ago and now he can’t even unload the ranch he bought for himself and family there. You might remember Kim and their children reluctantly visiting him a few years back after he bought it and installed a go-kart track. It was obvious Kim could not picture herself living there. Kanye had promised the tiny town of Cody (pop. 9,810) that he would provide jobs  and enrich the town so they rolled out the red carpet for him. After Kim filed for divorce in Feb 2021, Kanye lost interest in his big ideas and put the properties he had bought there up for sale. So far his 11 million dollar ranch has had no offers and the town residents are very disappointed.

IS GAP HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT KANYE WEST?

Maybe he can blame it on his bipolar disorder, but Kanye West gave his craziest interview to date with Forbes Magazine. Not only did he discuss running for president, but Kanye ranted that Planned Parenthood was placed in the US by “white supremacists to do the devil’s work!” He added “I am pro-life because I follow the word of the bible!” Certainly the multiple females in his family will NOT be thrilled to hear THAT. Kanye also went on to claim that he had Covid-19 in February and took hot showers to treat himself. Kim Kardashian has previously tolerated her husband Kanye’s unhinged comments by saying “It’s OK for a couple not to have the same feelings all the time.” We wonder if Gap will be so forgiving…

IS KANYE WEST STILL A FASHION DESIGNER?

Kanye West oozes self confidence when it comes to his “artistic talents,” but we haven’t seen any new fashion collections lately. Kanye’s monochromatic collections a few years ago were met with considerable interest and admiration, although they had more than a passing resemblance to the designs of Givenchy’s Riccardo Tischi and Off White’s Virgil Abloh. Maybe those “comparisons” discouraged Kanye, because for the past few years he’s been concentrating on Adidas sneakers. We WERE surprised to see Kanye’s label on a collection of high heels (?) – they looked a LOT like what Kim Kardashian already has in her closet. Meanwhile, self-proclaimed designer Kanye is only seen in hoodies and baggy sweats these days – whatever the weather or the occasion. (Above, Kanye arrived for a party at Craig’s restaurant)
