Calling all fuccbois and hypebeasts, your messiah Yeezus himself will be dropping some mad love in the Lion City this weekend. Singapore’s been chosen as the only Asian city where Kanye West will launch his pop-up store, Pablo. It’s probably the next best thing to watching ‘Ye perform live — which he totally did, just thousands of kilometers away in Manila back in April.
The super massive hip hop star took to Twitter this morning to make the sudden announcement of 21 pop-up stores setting up shop across the world this weekend, all selling merch related to his latest record, The Life of Pablo. It’s a follow-up to the successful launches of previous pop-up shops in New York and Los Angeles this year, as well as similar temporary stores for 2013’s Yeezus and 2011’s Watch The Throne.
Don’t be expecting them pink polo shirts (if you miss the old Kanye / straight from the ‘Go Kanye) though. Past pop-ups have seen the likes of sweatshirts, denim jackets and other everyday outerwear emblazoned with lyrics from The Life of Pablo. Oh, and be ready to drop at least $100 if you want to snag anything worth the queue. But hey, it’s all for ‘Ye.
Only open for three days, each pop-up will receive its own customised shirts with the name of the city written in the trademark gothic script that’s graced West’s current collection, said Vogue. The store hits Suntec City Tower 1 from today till Sunday in the hours between 12pm and 8pm. Check out what you can expect from the store, courtesy of Pitchfork.
EDIT: Updated the story with the location and operation hours of the Pablo store.
