Kanye West to open 200 stores 'in the next year'.. as he confirms Drake album collaboration

Last month, the 21-time Grammy winner opened 21 pop-up shops worldwide selling merchandise associated with his The Life of Pablo album.

As for Kanye's customers of the proposed 200 boutiques, the hot-tempered hip-hop star vowed to lower his eye-popping prices.

'I'm very focused on trying to make things far more affordable, far more beautiful, and for far more people,' West noted.

The Fade hitmaker defended the casting of 100 'multiracial' models for his Roosevelt Island fashion show, which was staged and choreographed by Vanessa Beecroft.

'The ten thousand people that showed up didn't have a problem with it,' West snapped

 

'We've had to make all these clothes from scratch for [our children North, 3, and Saint, 9 months],' explained the Atlanta-born, Chicago-raised star.

'And in the process it was just inevitable that we make kids' clothes. With me and my wife, we have a different perspective on the way that kids swag out. And it's all just slowly coming together.'

The Famous rapper also confirmed that the mysterious Los Angeles billboard featuring his and Drake's label logos is, in fact, about a collaborative album.

'We're just working on music, working on a bunch of music together, just having fun going into the studio,' West said of the 29-year-old Canadian crooner (born Aubrey Graham).

'We're working on an album, so there's some exciting things coming up soon.'

The Chicago State University drop-out will next take his 39-date Saint Pablo Tour to the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. this Thursday.
