Kanye West once revealed to Jimmy Kimmel about what drives him to achieve new things after being a rapper and a designer.

&#8220;People didn&#8217;t think it was possible&#8221; &#8211; Kanye West Once Explained His Journey from Being a Musician to a Designer

A few musicians mold their music genres with their own styles and Kanye West is
one of them. The rapper, with a tremendous vocabulary and deep thoughts on life,
managed to prove skeptics wrong every time he took up a new project or a
challenge. Of course, the rapper is also all too aware of his achievements.

The entertainer is hailed even by celebrities for his creativity, and often
leaves people wondering how he does it all. While he usually keeps to himself,
the entertainer once opened up about his work, motivation, and ideas during an
interview, especially about how no one believed he could transition into a
designer as a musician.


WHAT DRIVES KANYE WEST INTO CROSSING NEW HURDLES?

Kanye West is considered to be one of the most creative artists in today’s time.
That is also how Jimmy Kimmel introduced him during the singer’s guest
appearance on his talk show in 2018. Right off the bat, they began discussing
his music and design work. The host teased the topic of Yeezy by stating how
many compliments he received after wearing them. Ye accepted the compliment and
explained how both his music and the shoes are equally important to him. “When
you go on creative journeys, it is exciting for people to appreciate that,
especially if people didn’t think it was possible,” he said.



Diving into the past, he revealed about beginning his journey as a visual
artist, followed by a producer with artists like Jay-Z. While some around him
didn’t think he could do much, he not only became a successful rapper but also
followed it by forming the biggest collaboration as a designer with Adidas.

achieved success in most of what he did.
