Kanye West Posts Gigantic Rambling Message on Gap Store

Following the announcement of his new clothing line with Gap, Kanye West has unveiled a message about the partnership. A really, really big one.

On Sunday (June 28), photos started surfacing of a gigantic message that is draped over the Gap store at 555 N. Michigan Ave in Chicago. The larger-than-life memo covers the entire building and finds Kanye addressing his hometown.

“Thank God. Hi, Chicago. It’s ‘Ye. This is the Gap store I used to shop at when I would drive my Nissan from the Southside. So blessed. I thank God and I am humbled at the opportunity to serve. I put my heart into the color palette and every detail,” the message reads in part.

The rest of the message is a bit head-scratching, with ‘Ye seemingly throwing out random thoughts. “I love Tron original,” he continues. “Do you like stuff[[?]. I don’t know what to do with my hands. Love, Yeezy.”

Kanye first revealed his new deal with Gap on Friday (June 26). “YEEZY AND GAP FORM PARTNERSHIP #WESTDAYEVER,” the rapper posted in a tweet with a Gap logo featuring the word YZY.

“We are excited to welcome Kanye back to the Gap family as a creative visionary, building on the aesthetic and success of his YEEZY brand and together defining a next-level retail partnership,” Mark Breitbard, Global Head of Gap Brand said of the collaboration.

The new line will feature “modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points.” West has hired Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi as design director of the new line.

Judge Denies Lil Durk’s $4.5M Bail In Murder-For-Hire Case

H

Rapper Lil Durk has been dealt a serious blow in his legal battle, as a federal judge has denied his request for bail while he waits for his trial in a highly publicized murder-for-hire case. Despite offering a hefty bail package worth $4.5 million from himself and his associates, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald decided that the rapper, whose real name is Durk Derrick Banks, is too big of a flight risk to be released.

Prosecutors argued that Lil Durk had tried to escape to Dubai before he was arrested, which heavily influenced the judge’s ruling. Although Durk’s defense team claimed the trip was for business and spiritual reasons, the judge didn’t buy it. Judge Fitzgerald pointed out that there was no solid proof that Durk had planned his trip to Dubai ahead of time. While he acknowledged the possible business and spiritual reasons, he ultimately felt that there was no evidence that Durk intended to travel for anything other than to evade the law.

Durk’s legal team had hoped that the proposed bail package, which included $1 million from his record label, Alamo Records, and $3 million from Durk himself, would convince the judge to let him go. However, Judge Fitzgerald was not swayed by the large amount of money, stating that the financial backing wasn’t strong enough to guarantee Durk wouldn’t flee. He mentioned that losing money wouldn’t be enough to stop Durk from trying to escape, especially since $3 million was just a small part of the rapper’s total wealth, implying that even a significant loss might not keep him in one place.

As a result of this decision, Lil Durk will remain locked up as he prepares to face serious charges in a case that has caught the attention of many nationwide. With the bail option gone, all eyes are now on the upcoming trial, where more details about the allegations will be revealed. For now, Lil Durk is still in federal custody, and his future is uncertain as the legal process continues.
