Kanye West has quietly closed down his Yews News platform after less than a year, alongside major price cuts on his Yeezy fashion line, reducing items to just $20.


The rapper and entrepreneur launched the mobile-only news site last December, featuring curated content on fashion, politics, and personal updates. 


Despite initial promises of professional curation, most content was aggregated from major outlets like The U.S. Sun, accompanied by sporadic religious imagery.


Recently, the Yews News site has displayed a blank cell phone graphic, signaling no active content. The last updates appeared in April, with speculation about its closure surfacing on May 3.


Meanwhile, Kanye's Yeezy fashion line has implemented significant price reductions, with items like T-shirts and sweatshirts now heavily discounted. However, customers have expressed dissatisfaction with high shipping costs and delayed deliveries.


Kanye, aiming for a comeback after controversies in 2022, including antisemitic remarks, faces financial challenges amid lawsuits from former staff and disputes with Adidas, resulting in substantial revenue losses.


The star's ongoing struggles extend to his West Hollywood headquarters, still under construction and facing delays, as recent drone footage reveals.
