TMZ’s latest run-in with Kanye West didn’t end in a scuffle as his previous confrontations with photographers have, and when asked about his travel plans, Kanye revealed that he’s travelling to China to work on his next sneaker release.
After being peppered with questions about his next project, his reaction to Kim Kardashian’s nude magazine spread, and more, a paparazzo asked the emcee/producer what’s behind his trip to Asia as he walked through the airport.
“I’m going to China to work on the Yeezy’s,” he says.
In September, Kanye announced that his latest pair of Yeezy’s would arrive this month though the date came after several other false launch announcements.
“We’ve got the new Yeezys, the Yeezy’s III coming in November,” Kanye West said during a concert in Perth, Australia. “This is just the beginning ‘cause this is something I want to create and do for the rest of my life.”

Fuck them. Let them work to death. Stop acting like you care about them cause you know you’re still supporting Nike/Adidas
Fuck Chinese people they look all the same
Fuck Black men they all look like monkeys jumping around in the jungle…
Black men are Neanderthals with no civilization. This is why they are so angry. They have to steal other people’s cultures as they’ve built nothing without the white man (and Eminem). Every country you find them in, they are obnoxious and fake. This one here is no different. Gay guy who hates to be gay. What a sad, ugly man.
His beard is a toxic mess. An Albanian troll with no morals.
Hopefully, Kanye gets a glimpse of these sweatshops and finds his soul again. How you gonna say, “George Bush don’t care about black people” then break bread with a sweatshop?
So, I’m guessing you’ve never worn any popular sneakers, huh? You’ve never bought a pair of Nike’s, Adidas, Reebok’s, etc.? Don’t start preaching about any sweatshops, you pussy, when you know damn well that you wear the shoes that they make. Acting like a “Don’t support sweatshops” bitch, when you support them by buying and wearing the shoes. I’ve worn all types of popular shoe brands, and I’m smart enough not to bitch about the sweatshop shit because it would make me look like a hypocritical/pompous asshole.
I have, but I grew up. How old is Kanye? He should know better.
If Kanye wants to rant about ANYTHING, this would subject-worthy. And buying popular sneakers is just another sign of materialism.
So you grew up, and aren’t wearing sneakers anymore? Haha okay, it’s not even a hypothetical anymore, you’re a pompous asshole. Apparently you don’t wear any type of sneakers, which means you must hit the gym in sandals, loafers, timbs, or dress shoes. So pretty much, you’re an idiot. You don’t even know what materialism, and if you respond with the definition of it, you’re an even bigger retard than I thought. Now you won’t respond with that because you’ll look like an idiot. This isn’t even an issue with defending Kanye, it’s you looking like an asshole for acting like growing up means not wearing sneakers.
anonymous is right!! what a fucking souless idiot PAhiphopFan is.
Anonymous – the both of you – are killin’ me. I’m flat fucking dead. Cold corpse over here. Would YOU (or perhaps more properly, COULD you) please give me the definition of “soulless?” I have reason to believe you are misusing the term. Oh, and I think you’re an idiot for your justification of buying products from sweatshops just because you have before. Ignorant you are. Seriously ignorant. You ought to think about buying yourself a dictionary. Like, WTF wo/man? Do you have milky snot coming our of your ears? Is that why you can’t read of write? Are your hands noodles and your fingers cottonballs or what? Seriously, though: this is on Kanye. He has the attention of the whole world, and he can capitalize on that and show people how companies should be paying sweatshop workers, what kind of rights they should be getting, what kind of things they should be benefitting from? Grievances. Kanye can do that. Of course, he would be taking a huge amount of money from his profits. That’s not fair though, right? I mean, he didn’t, like, tie the shoelaces together or anything, right? Like, I mean, like, he didn’t engrave the logo with caustic chemicals, or paint the fabric with solutions that produce noxious gasses, right?
Materialism: wanting and thinking you need to buy SHIT. Of course you don’t need to. You CAN, however, maximize your loose spending habits by thinking about who you buy from.
Of course Kanye can’t really do all of that. He can show people, though, what’s going one. Why not advertise your sneakers as socially sustainable and appropriately sourced? For godssake, don’t sell them for MORE! Be transparent about it.
Kanye!
You’re a fucking retard “William”, nobody is justifying buying shoes from sweatshops. The simple fact is, if you have bought any name brand type of shoe recently or ever in your life, you can’t get on your high horse about not supporting sweatshops. This would be a different case, if you had a change of heart and really fucking campaigned to get sweatshops closed down or constantly posted messages on social media about the atrocities that happen in sweatshops. I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that neither you or the other guy are doing either of those things. Your argument, “He’s a celebrity, he should expose sweatshops” doesn’t work. Remember “Kony 2012”, the reason why that was brought the public’s attention was because of youtube. The guy (who also went crazy and masturbated in the street) that made the video wasn’t a celebrity, but his video went viral, hundreds of thousands of people wanted to help (including celebrities), it eventually fizzled out after the aforementioned “beating off in public” though. So, I gave you an example of a non celeb bringing an issue to masses, instead of bitching about sweatshops on a hiphop site, why don’t you do something about it. Once again, pompous hypocritical assholes; you’ll get on your high horse about sweatshops, when you still/used to wear sneakers, and aren’t doing shit about it. Now explain to me how I can’t read or write, when your “insults” are things a 7 year old would tell me. Also, the people that design the sneakers don’t set the price, you idiot. The company that produces them and sends them to retailers, determine the price.
Not a big Kanye fan but damn some of these paparazzi seem like fucking ass holes…
This dude is def the next to blow watch

yes lets get it
I don’t listen to this garbage. That’s that crap my brother used to listen to when he was in HS. Kanye is a loser with no brain. This is why he shouts so much. I used to think his mom was a smart woman and wondered why he was such a douche. She isn’t smart at all to think that going under the knife was gonna make her look pretty. Black women seem to think they are not attractive unless they do ill sht like that. She may have been a teacher, but she was still on a loser streak. It is in him to be this way.
I can’t tell if you’re serious. You listen to Iggy, please fuck off.
Sweatshop Nigga, SWEEET!
If “Yeezy” cared about black people, wouldn’t he find a way to give some black folks jobs making his clothes and shoes here in America?
We’d all pay a little more if the cause was right, I’m sure.
Or he’s a suggestion; go to school, graduate, and then get a job by yourself, instead of waiting for a handout. You fucking degenerate.
