Kanye West has said he plans to shift the production of
Yeezy to America so as to employ Americans and also to hire workers through
prison reform systems.
The rapper, who recently became a born again Christian, met with TV presenter Zane Lowe in Wyoming
this week to discuss his new album, his conversion, banning premarital sex
amongst those who worked on the new album, and also his Yeezy footwear and
apparel manufacturing.
The rapper revealed
he is moving production of his Yeezy brand to America.
He said: "For
me, as a founder, it’s really important to bring these jobs back to
America."
Within the next two
years, he plans to make Yeezys and "injection molded shoes" in U.S.
factories as well as hire workers through prison reform systems. Alongside
bolstering the US economy, Kanye said that bringing the brand home will allow "rapid
prototyping" and the potential to open up employment opportunities through
prison reform systems.
