'Trying hard to make a name': Kanye West trolled over plans to build 100,000-acre city in the Middle East

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West, rapper and accomplished entrepreneur with a portfolio of successful ventures including Yeezy, has now unveiled his intentions to build a massive city covering 100,000 acres in the Middle East called DROAM. 

The ambitious proposal, however, has sparked a flurry of Internet trolling.

The New York Post has highlighted that the rapper is recognized for his ventures that push the envelope and his albums that remain unreleased.

Over the years, West has continuously teased his fans with album announcements that unfortunately never come to fruition, leaving his devoted followers disheartened.

His latest project, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, was expected to debut last weekend, but predictably, it remained unreleased.

However, Ye's latest declaration has emerged as an unexpected move, leaving fans both fascinated and doubtful.

West made his boldest announcement yet on X: the inception of DROAM. He plans to establish it somewhere in the Middle East, though he hasn’t specified the exact location.

The rapper, who recently sparked controversy by appearing in a hood reminiscent of the KKK at the 'Vultures' album party, wrote in the caption, "YZY DROAM PHASE 1." The image reads, "YZY DROAM PHASE 1 100000 ACRE V1 CITY PILOTING IN MIDDLE EAST. RECRUITING PROJECT MANAGERS ENGINEERS ARCHITECTS CONTRACTORS BUILDERS."

The city, currently in its initial development phase, has ambitious plans to cover an impressive 100,000 acres — double the size of New York City.

West is reportedly actively inviting project managers, engineers, architects, contractors, and builders to participate in this grand project.

However, amid this grand announcement, there have been reports of West’s Los Angeles church, a property he purchased in March for $1.5 million, now appearing neglected.

Images have emerged showing boarded-up windows and accumulating garbage, presenting a stark contrast to his global ambitions.

Also, West recently put his Malibu home on the market after scrapping plans to renovate it due to financial difficulties. The home currently lacks windows and electricity, per the NY Post. 

Internet trolls Kanye West

Both Kanye's critics and fans have expressed their views on various social media platforms.

A user stated, "Bro been try hard to make a name. From contesting for president of America to building a city in the Middle East (for the poor )." 

"Kanye, trying hard to make a name?" added another. 

One person wrote, "Bro is trying to become a sheik by 2024 His name is going to be kanyedeen."

"Bro went from trying to be the president of America to building his own city in the Middle East," stated another.

"Sounds like a real Kanye quest," mentioned another. 

"He couldn’t even drop an album, he is trying to drop a city," stated one fan.

"Tell him to just drop the album," said another.
