They asked if he felt anything had been left out of his speech at this year’s MTV VMAs, and that’s when the rapper shared one idea about changing Chicago for the better.
“I wanna do school uniforms for all the schools in Chicago,” said Kanye. “Just as a starting point for ending classism and bullying worldwide.”
The 39-year-old rapper has hustled to build a reputation in the fashion industry and done some pretty outlandish shows, so designing uniforms wouldn’t be too left field.
