It looks like Ikea doesn’t love Kanye like Kanye loves Kanye. (Yet.)
In an interview with BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, the rapper expressed his desire to collaborate with the Swedish furniture giant, saying, “I have to work with Ikea ― make furniture for interior design, for architecture.”
“Yo Ikea, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes,” he added (obviously in the third person).
However, the brand beloved by college students everywhere confirmed to People that there’s no collaboration in effect just yet.
“We are really flattered for the attention around the visit, and also in Kanye West’s high interest in IKEA,” a spokesperson told the news outlet. “There have been many speculations around potential plans for future collaborations, but we can confirm that we have no collaboration at this moment.”
If you were hoping to fill your apartment/college dorm/New York City shoebox with some Yeezy X Ikea (or Ikeezy, as folks online are calling it) chairs, there still might be some hope! And it’s all thanks to Ikea Australia.
The team down under shared the following illustration early Tuesday morning, complete with the perfect response.
“Hej Kanye, we’d love to see what you’d create...we could make you Famous!” they wrote. (#NailedIt.)
Ye first expressed his love for Ikea back in March when he tweeted about being inspired after a trip to the store’s head office in Sweden.
Same, Kanye. Same.
