Kanye West launches major career comeback by building massive new Yeezy headquarters next to Adidas shop in Los Angeles
KANYE West is launching a major career comeback, and has already begun construction on his new Yeezy headquarters in Los Angeles, The U.S. Sun can exclusively report.
Kanye, 45, has been staying under the radar since he saw his billion-dollar business empire crumble following his anti-Semitic remarks.
After his very public breakdown, sources say he is slowly trying to get the ball rolling with his fashion and music projects, as he's recently started leasing a 7,400-square-foot showroom on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.
Reports first claimed earlier this month the space was going to be a new store selling Kanye's merchandise, but The U.S. Sun can reveal it is more of a "Yeezy HQ," according to an insider.
They spilled: "The vision for its use has changed to being multi-purpose, it's not just going to be a store.
"Ye has been hosting parties for three weeks in a row at the venue and giving away sample pieces for his latest collection.

"There's no date set for the release yet but it'll be soon, he's been working hard to get everything ready for his comeback.
"He's hosted movie nights with close friends at the space and brought back Sunday Service last week for the first time in more than a year, kids from Donda Academy performed."
NEW CHAPTER
Photographs obtained by The U.S. Sun show the huge building - just a few doors down from an Adidas store - has had the windows and doors covered with the entire building painted dark gray.
Construction workers were seen building structures at the back of the property this week, while other team members were busy sanding the floors inside.
Kanye has been making plans with his new wife Bianca Censori, who has been by his side for a number of months after news of their unofficial wedding.
The rapper and his lady love have been close for years as she was hired as Head of Architecture at Yeezy in 2020 before their romance blossomed following his divorce from Kim Kardashian, the mother of his four young children.
Bianca has been helping him to prepare for Yeezy Season 10, with shaven-headed models seen in social media photos unveiling the new collection after a low-key launch.
Kanye hosted the secret fashion show in Los Angeles on May 1, which only focused on the models wearing skintight white T-shirts with black pants.
Following Kanye's controversies surrounding his anti-Semitic comments and support for the White Lives Matter movement, Adidas revealed it was terminating its business dealings with the star last year.
STAR CANCELED
In a statement, the footwear organization said: "Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech.
"Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.
"After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his companies.
"Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect."
Since ending their partnership, Adidas confirmed that they would no longer sell any more merchandise branded Yeezy.
The controversial designer claimed he lost "$2 billion in a day" after being dropped by Adidas, along with GAP, and Balenciaga.
Despite his low-key comeback, he is still dealing with a number of lawsuits, including staff from Donda Academy who are suing Ye and several others for racial discrimination and labor violations.
According to court papers, the Christian private school, which is still running at a separate warehouse in Los Angeles, is a disaster and the building is unsafe.

Cecilia Hailey and Chekarey Byers, the only two Black female teachers at the school, were fired after they voiced concerns over the conditions to administrators, according to the complaint.
Kanye is yet to respond to the suit, which also claims kids are behind at the school and are only allowed to eat sushi with no utensils.
