Kanye West Fancies A 10,000-Acre City In Middle East, Social Media Erupts In Sarcasm
American rapper Kanye West, who has a history of boasting about his unsuccessful ideas, has pitched in a new ambition: building a self-sustaining city spanning more than 10,000 acres of land in the Middle East. Kanye calls it DROAM.As the New York Post reported, the American rapper, now known as Ye, plans to build DROAM somewhere in the Middle East; however, he hasn”t specifically mentioned where.
X (formerly Twitter) account “Unreleased Ye” announced the rapper”s dream plan, saying the city plan is in Phase 1 development and Ye has been inviting collaborators, project managers, engineers, architects, contractors, and builders to join his endeavour. Kanye West envisages the size of the city as twice that of New York City.
Perplexed, as many of his earlier disclosures had not materialised, fans approached his idea of DROAM with lots of scepticism. Bro went from trying to be the president of America to building his own city in the Middle East,” an user wrote on X. . “Bro is trying to become a sheikh by 2024. His name is going to be Kanyedeen,” said another.
“Sounds like a real Kanye quest,” commented a third user. “Yecosystem: Ye”s new mini cities with branded homes and stores,” added another.
The rapper had earlier announced an album and a project in collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign; both of the ideas failed to materialise, and fans took their frustration to X, saying, “He couldn”t even drop an album; he is trying to drop a city.”
“Well, that”s certainly an interesting idea! Kanye West has a history of making bold and sometimes outlandish statements, so it”s hard to say how serious he is about this plan. Do you think it”s even feasible to build a whole city from scratch in the Middle East? What kind of challenges do you think Kanye West would face if he actually tried to make this happen?” expressed another.
A Los Angeles church, which he took over in March for $1.5 million, has now been neglected. The fans brood over what had happened to that church on social media.
Ye also made headlines recently by listing his Malibu home for sale at a listing price of $53 million, which is reportedly lower than the $57.25 million he paid two years ago.
