Kanye West Plans To 'Build A City' In The Middle East: Report

Kanye West will not stop his attempts to bring out the all of the images that live in his mind. Yeezy is reportedly looking to build a citiy in the Middle East.

West's plans to erect a brand new city known as the YZY DROAM were revealed on Wednesday (December 20) through a website seeking job applicants for project managers, engineers, architects and contractors.

At 100,000 acres, the self-sufficient city will be roughly four times the size of Paris and more than half that of New York City.

"YZY DROAM PHASE 1 100,000 ACRE V1 CITY PILOTING IN MIDDLE EAST RECRUITING," the graphic reads.

This is far from the first time that Kanye West has pursued an architectural project of this magnitude. The rapper previously planned to build his own city in Wyoming in 2020, but his plans were shut down by the state.

Dubbed YZY CITY, it was described as a "hyper-utilitarian" underground community that could accommodate 200 people and promoted a closed loop of self-sustainable living.

Last year, it was also reported that West had filed trademark applications that would allow him to create his own mini-community known as the "Yecosystem."

Sources close to the visionary rapper told Rolling Stone that the campus would boast branded homes, retail stores that sell Yecosystem-branded food items and beverages, with plans to build more across the U.S.
