Is Kanye West giving up music to focus on anything else?

The "Donda" rapper appears to be planning a new business endeavor, as he has apparently registered a trademark for a new logo.

Kanye registered a collection of trademarks linked to his brand, including his new logo, according to Josh Gerben, a lawyer.

The logo is expected to be used for retail businesses and fashion-related services that revolve on apparel.

The emblem is made up of two thin rings, the inner circle smooth and the outer ring with razor-sharp edges.

Mascotte Holdings, the Grammy-winning rapper's firm, filed the trademark, while a second filing obtained the right to use the emblem on a variety of apparel items such as socks, shirts, and beanies.

According to TMZ, the design might be related to a prior registration the "All Of The Lights" rapper filed a few weeks ago when he and his crew trademarked "YZYSPLY" for retail shops, online retail services, and online buying services.

Kanye West said to Vanity Fair in 2015 that one of his longtime ambitions was to establish a retail store.

"I've already welcomed the moment when I actually get to have my store, which has always been a dream of mine," he added.

"So, even though we earn incredible online sales, my ambition is to establish my own store." And to have a lot of it."

Last month, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband filed 12 trademarks for Yeezus rollercoasters, NFTs, retail outlets, cosmetics, toys, and bags under Mascotte Holdings.

Meanwhile, it has been alleged that the rapper recently spent more than $4 million on Balenciaga.

Kanye posted a photo of a receipt from his most recent trip to the fashion house, informing fans that his spending habits had been out of control.

The ticket revealed that the father-of-four spent more than $4 million at Balenciaga in the previous year, including more than $1 million for a woman's blouse.

His current purchasing binge coincides with the debut of his own Yeezy Ga range from Balenciaga on retail shelves.

Balenciaga's Yeezy Gap is available online at both the Yeezy and Balenciaga websites.

"Donda" and "Donda 2" were the two albums Kanye West has recently released. It's currently unclear if there's a "Donda 3" or if he is making more music for the next album.

But what's clear now is that Kanye is really pushing through with his fashion business ventures.
