  • August 2, 2016
Kanye build it? Well, if Mr. West has his way, yes you can.





During an interview with Annie Mac for Radio 1 (the one where ‘ye talks that Glastonbury headline slot) Kanye admitted that he’d love to work with Ikea.



“I have to work with IKEA—make furniture for interior design, for architecture and I know that if I do a minimalist apartment inside of a college dorm where the TV goes on the side of the wall,” he said. “Yo IKEA, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes—I want more products from Ye.”
