Following the backlash from the Yeezy x Gap collaboration, Kanye has taken it upon himself and plans to open a brick-and-mortar retail store.
In an Instagram post shared yesterday, Ye shared a photo from his “Notes” app.
The note read, “We will be opening Yeezy stores worldwide starting in Atlanta. Who is best to open it? I will buy land and or building. Then we will open in every state and then internationally. Anyone with 10+ years of retail experience and ready to change the world post your Instagram handle or store location in the comments and We’ll find you.”

He then took aim at Adidas and Gap for not moving to open Yeezy stores.
“I signed both Adidas and Gap because the contract states that they will build permanent stores. Which neither company did even though I saved both companies at the same time,” the note continued. “I show you how to use social media.”
Of course, this message was seen by his 16.5 million IG followers and requests to open and run his retail empire came flooding in.
Kanye shared screenshots of text messages from people who wanted to help with his grocery acquisition.

Kanye heard the cries and complaints of social media and decided to give a rare on-camera interview FOX News.
When asked about the backlash surrounding him being insensitive to homelessness, the rapper responded, “Look, I’m an innovator. I’m not here to sit back and apologize for my ideas.”
He continued to defend his position saying, “That’s what the media is trying to do. Make us apologize for any ideas that didn’t work out the way we wanted.”

Not stopping there, Kanye explained that the clothes were not stored in a bin or trash bag, but rather a large construction bag.
He feels this style of product display and shopping makes for a “more convenient and informal” experience for shoppers.
“This is not a joke, this is not a game, this is not just a celebrity collaboration… this is my life,” he explained. “I’m fighting for a position to be able to change clothes and bring the best designs to people.”
To really stick it to social media trolls, Kanye said, “I’m here actually working at a homeless shelter. There’s documentation about it where the city comes and tears down my creations while I’m at it. So nobody can tell me I insensitive when things I think about every day and have actually put my thoughts and innovations.”
