Kanye West is always in search of his next big idea. For a peek into what that might be, look no further than what he’s trademarking for future endeavors. Under his Mascotte Holdings imprint, attorney Josh Gerben uncovered 17 trademark filings made by Kanye on May 27 surrounding his Yeezus brand.
While speaking at the Cannes launch of his Cruel Summer short film in May 2012, Kanye expressed his plans to one day build amusement parks.
“What I want to do post-Grammys is I want to work on cities, I want to work on amusement parks, I want to change entertainment experiences,” he said to GQ. “[It’s] something like if McQueen or Tarsem [Singh] was to meet the entertainment value of a Cirque du Soleil or a Walt Disney.”
Kanye West has filed 17 new trademark applications around his YEEZUS name.
The filings indicate an intent to launch YEEZUS-branded amusement parks, NFT's, toys and more. ????#KanyeWest pic.twitter.com/bI7RkA1Pk3
