Kanye West Sought To Start Production Company With Walt Disney

Kanye West to start a production company with Walt Disney. Ye has ventured into more than just music, with his adidas YEEZY fashion line and his emphasis on visuals, as displayed by his Madison Square Garden fashion show and a reported “Waves” video. The entrepreneur has reportedly spent $53 million of his own money on his creative ventures and once asked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest in his work.

In a recent interview on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, West says that he has also sought a partnership with the Walt Disney Company. He describes his presentation of “Ultra Light Beam” with a choir from Kirk Franklin at Madison Square Garden as a creative moment that is reflective of the type of impactful work he would like to bring to the world.

“I think that was a little moment of possibility that I was able to express for the eight times that I’ve met with Walt Disney,” he says, “and said, ‘Look man, I ain’t got no more money at this point. I’ve done shot films. I’ve done fashion. Can you just help me put together a production company that I can make some more dope stuff for the world?’ And they look and they start reading TMZ and talking about, I say, ‘What about the fact that I’m your son’s idol?'”
