Kanye West Defends Selling Clothes In Trash Bags In 1st Interview In 7 Months On Fox News: Watch

Kanye West45 years old, has responded to criticism about her Yeezy Gap collection, which is being sold in trash bags. “I’m an innovator and I’m not here to sit up and apologize for my idea,” Ye told Fox News on Thursday, August 18 in his first interview in more than six months. Last week, the famous rapper faced backlash for selling his clothes in trash bags instead of on shelves inside stores. Fans criticized Kanye and blamed him for being insensitive to the homeless.

But Kanye still sticks to the trash bag controversy and actually blames the media (which is what he’s done before) for the backlash. “That’s exactly what the media tries to do. Ask us to apologize for any ideas that don’t turn out the way they wanted us to think,” he told Fox News.

‘s ex-husband Kim Kardashian continued, “This is not a joke. This is not a game. This isn’t just some celebrity collaboration. This is my life. I am fighting for a position where I can change clothes and bring the best designs to people.”

On August 15, one social network users shared a photo of clothing from Kanye’s Yeezy Gap line stuffed inside multiple trash bags on the floor of a Gap store. According to the user, one of the store’s employees said that Kanye was “crazy” when they initially had the clothes on the hanger. “They won’t help you find your size either, you just have to find out everything,” the user also claimed.

Before the display caused a stir, Kanye took to Instagram to reveal that the bags were inspired by the homeless. Kanye actually worked at Gap as one of his first job experiences when he was 15 years old. He briefly mentioned the work in his 2004 song, “Spaceship,” and talked about it in a 2015 interview with Paper magazine. “When I worked at Gap at the age of 15, I didn’t think I had the desire to actually make clothes, but I always felt that was what I wanted to be around. I love fabrics, I love colors, I love proportions,” he said.
