Despite Major Setbacks, Kanye West’s Yeezy Warehouse Keeps Running

Kanye West’s Yeezy brand is still shipping orders from a warehouse in Los Angeles, despite recent turmoil.

After Shopify shut down his e-commerce site following his controversial Super Bowl stunt, Kanye is scrambling to figure out his next move. Sources say he still plans to launch Yeezy stores, but with growing backlash and potential protests, those plans remain uncertain.

Despite the website shutdown, a warehouse near the LAA Factory Store remains operational, handling back orders. Employees continue packaging and shipping Yeezy apparel, including pieces from Kanye’s “Bully” merchandise for his latest album. Photos from the site show workers and forklifts actively moving products.

One warehouse employee told The U.S. Sun, “I don’t think they ever made the swastika t-shirt. I asked around at the print shop, but they cut that idea real fast. It’s just the regular clothing being made.”

The offensive $20 swastika t-shirt that caused an uproar was never actually manufactured, according to insiders. The graphic was simply posted online, sparking backlash before any production began.

Dov Charney, the Jewish founder of Los Angeles Apparel and a longtime collaborator of Kanye, reportedly had no interest in making the shirt. Some fans attempted to buy it as a pop culture keepsake, but those orders were refunded.

Kanye’s ongoing controversies have put his business in a tough spot. Once a powerhouse in fashion, Yeezy’s relationships with Adidas, GAP, and Balenciaga ended in 2022 following his antisemitic remarks. Now, his latest rants on X have made it even harder for him to find new manufacturing and distribution partners.

Charney, who has faced his own share of controversies, remains a close friend of Kanye. While there are no current plans for new projects together, sources suggest that a future collaboration isn’t off the table.

Charney’s history with cancel culture is well-documented—he was ousted from American Apparel in 2014 over alleged financial mismanagement and misconduct claims. However, he denies any wrongdoing and has since rebuilt his reputation through Los Angeles Apparel.

Kanye has made multiple contradictory statements in recent months. After his infamous “death con 3 on Jewish people” tweet, he attempted to walk back his remarks by posting a message in Hebrew about making amends. But last month, he went in the opposite direction, calling himself a “Nazi” and praising Hitler on X.

His unpredictable behavior has fueled speculation about his mental health, with some insiders claiming he is struggling behind the scenes.

Despite the chaos, Kanye remains determined to rebuild Yeezy. Employees at the warehouse report that orders are still being processed, and there’s talk of launching a new website. However, finding business partners willing to work with him may be his biggest challenge yet.

Do you think Kanye West can turn things around, or is this the end of Yeezy as we know it?
