Kanye West, the iconic rapper and fashion icon, has been making headlines during his stay in the Middle East. Recent reports reveal that West is building a city in the region, with ambitions for it to surpass the size of Paris. This visionary project has West actively sought professionals in various fields, from engineering to construction, as part of its initial phase covering 100,000 acres.
During his time in Dubai, West has been actively engaged in music collaborations, including a new track titled Vultures. His explorations extend beyond Dubai, with visits to Saudi Arabia, where he established a music studio at the luxurious Banyan Tree resort in AlUla.
The proposed city project reflects West's long-standing interest in architecture and urban design, echoing his past ventures such as futuristic domes in Wyoming. While specific details about the city's location are undisclosed, sources indicate ongoing discussions with regional governments and investors. West envisions creating a utopian space aligned with his values, promising a higher quality of life for its residents.
This initiative, while reminiscent of mega-projects like Neom in Saudi Arabia or Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, stands out for its sheer scale, marking a potential turning point in West's career and legacy. The project, with a planned self-sufficient model, signals a commitment to redefine urban living, offering a wide array of amenities.
