Kanye West won’t apologize for selling his latest Yeezy Gap collection out of trash bags.  Earlier this week, a social media user had posted pictures of the clothes stuffed into large bags and managers of The Gap had said they were instructed by Kanye to not put the clothing on hangers. According to a witness “The sales associate said Ye got mad when he saw they had his clothes on hangers” because “this is how he wanted it.”  “They won’t help you find your size,” they added, “you just have to just dig through everything.” People are criticizing Kanye “It’s everything that is wrong with billionaires,” the dissenter argued. “They no longer see the plight of people, they don’t see humans that are suffering, they see opportunities to be ‘edgy’ and profit from it…it’s disgusting.”  Kanye is responding to the criticism and wants to clarify that the clothing is actually stuffed into large construction bags and then calling himself an innovator. He added “I’m not here to sit up and apologize for my ideas. That’s exactly what the media tries to do: make us apologize for any idea that doesn’t fall under exactly the way they want us to think.  “This is not a joke, this is not a game, this is not just a celebrity collaboration … this is my life.”

Kanye did an interview yesterday with Fox News reporter Eric Shawn and went on to say  “I’m ready for y’all apology. We are creating — I’ve fought a lot. I’ve lost my best friend, I lost my family. And I’m here still creating.”

People are also criticizing the line because of  the prices. The cheapest thing you can purchase in this particular line is a key chain for $40. It’s no secret, Kanye has actually admitted that the inspiration for his clothing is the homeless. Just this past Friday, Kanye posted on IG “Look to the children… Look to the homeless… As the biggest inspiration for all design.” To view Kanye’s latest Gap collaboration CLICK HERE
