Kanye got all the inspiration on Friday, posting this on IG … “Look at the homeless as the biggest inspiration for the whole design.” It’s unclear what he meant, but it echoes some of the promises the rapper made last year when he visited the Mission and vowed to use his companies to help the homeless find jobs, education and housing. The sources tell us little if anything has been done since then. TMZ.com
Kanye West is planning a fashion show starring homeless people
Kanye’s philosophical waxing doesn’t advance LA’s homeless crisis As we reported, Kanye met with leaders of the org. last November, where he laid out ambitious plans for how to tackle the City’s biggest challenge — the homelessness crisis. We’re told people from the Mission tried to contact Ye several times after the meeting, to no avail. Kanye has done good for the homeless…among other things, he’s donated 1,000 meals and spent time encouraging volunteers and Los Angeles residents to pitch in and help. He also held Sunday Mass at the Union Rescue Mission on Skid Row in 2019. Waiting for your permission to load Instagram media. We’re told LA Mission wants to work with Kanye because he’s a huge megastar and can do a lot of good. No comment from LA dispatch.
