Kanye West's Yeezy label received millions in small business loans - New York Post

Kanye West’s Yeezy apparel brand received as much as $5 million in small business loans from the federal government, a new disclosure shows.

The fashion line got between $2 million and $5 million from the Trump administration’s $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program, according to the SBA.

Yeezy, which is described as a “Black” business on the form, saved 106 jobs with the loan that was approved on April 13.

The disclosure comes just days after West announced a run for president, and two weeks after the rapper confirmed a surprise collaboration between Yeezy and Gap that sent Gap shares soaring as much as 43 percent.

Yeezy also has a wildly successful footwear partnership with Adidas.

A representative for Yeezy did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
