The rapper posted on Twitter: “We’re starting a Yeezy architecture arm called Yeezy home. We’re looking for architects and industrial designers who want to make the world better”.

Yeezy currently gives its name to West’s clothing designs and a range of trainers made in collaboration with Adidas.

He has claimed the company is “the 2nd fastest growing company in history”, adding: “We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year.”

He has expressed an interest in architecture before, saying in a 2013 interview: “I want to do product, I am a product person,” said West. “Not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture… I make music but I shouldn’t be limited to once place of creativity.

“I hang around architects mostly, people that wanna make things as dope as possible… This is the reason why I’m working with five architects at a time. The time spent in a bad apartment, I can’t get that back. But the education I can get from working on it is priceless.”
