Kanye West’s Yeezy headquarters are abandoned and covered in graffiti as rapper ditches fashion for music comeback

KANYE West’s rented headquarters in West Hollywood has become an eyesore for neighbors after being targeted by vandals who spray-painted graffiti on the building.

The 46-year-old rapper has been traveling for months and has popped up everywhere from Italy to Saudi Arabia, as he’s ditched his fashion comeback for music.

He’s well-known for switching gears and recently abandoned his idea of running for president again in the 2024 election.

And now it appears he’s also mostly abandoned his HQ project after taking on a 7,400-square-foot showroom in Los Angeles, just doors away from an Adidas store on Melrose Avenue.

Homeless tents have been set up outside the space, which remains under construction inside, and vandals have now sprayed tags on the grey property in black paint.

A source close to Kanye told The U.S. Sun that the space was initially used for secret fashion events, the odd Sunday Service performance, and private movie nights.

It was said to be more of a “multi-purpose venue” than a store, as he worked with American Apparel founder Dov Charney to try and relaunch his Yeezy brand.

Construction workers were previously seen sanding down the floors and cutting up wood.

But there has been little action at the site for weeks, as Kanye remains in Al Ula in Saudi Arabia, finishing up his next album in collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.

The U.S. Sun has learned he is still renting the space and some Yeezy employees do use it, but it has mostly been empty for weeks and the inside is still full of unfinished wooden structures and debris.

Kanye’s lawyer did not return a request for comment regarding the future of the building.

The star has been desperate to bounce back after he saw his billion-dollar business empire crumble following his anti-Semitic remarks.

CRUMBLING EMPIRE

Following his controversies and support for the White Lives Matter movement, Adidas revealed it was terminating its business dealings with the star last year.

In a statement, the footwear organization said: “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech.

“Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect, and fairness.

“After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his companies.

“Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”

He was also dropped by the likes of Balenciaga and GAP and claimed he lost “$2 billion in a day.”

This month, it was reported Adidas is considering writing off the remaining $320 million worth of Yeezy shoes left unsold for the third release since cutting ties with the star.

The organization sold millions in the earlier releases with part of the profits being donated to groups fighting antisemitism.

The New York Times also spoke to numerous people involved in Kanye’s business dealings with Adidas for a recent expose, entitled Kanye and Adidas: Money, Misconduct and the Price of Appeasement.

The outlet claimed he drew a swastika on a shoe in frustration during one meeting – years before his anti-Semitic public rants.

He also allegedly advised a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Hitler every day.

A representative for Kanye did not respond to The Times or The U.S. Sun’s requests for comment.

ALBUM DELAY

In a statement to The Times, Adidas said it “has no tolerance for hate speech and offensive behavior, which is why the company terminated the Adidas Yeezy partnership.”

Meanwhile, Kanye and Ty Dollar $ign were meant to host a multi-stadium listening event earlier this month, but it never materialized.

Ye’s collaborator told fans at a recent performance that they are still planning to release new music, saying: “I just landed on a flight from Saudi Arabia.

“I’ve been out there recording a part of my album with my brother Ye, and that’s coming real soon.”

Billboard reported last month that the pair were trying to find potential distributors to pick up the album, although it’s unknown how much support they’ll get after Kanye’s controversies.

The star has been uncharacteristically quiet on social media while working on his new record and has not officially confirmed the title or release date.

Some fans have heard snippets of the songs from leaks online or at private listening events and fashion parties he’s attended.

Although some claim he’s in the best head space he’s been in for years, his wife Bianca Censori has returned to her native Australia amid rumors their marriage is on the rocks.

Her friends and family allegedly staged an intervention after becoming concerned about Kanye’s controlling behavior, according to the Daily Mail.

The Yeezy architect has since been seen spending time with her parents and siblings in Melbourne, while her husband remains in Saudi Arabia.
