Kanye West Twitter Rant: Rapper Announces New Company DONDA And Clears Up Fashion Collection Rumors

Kanye West went on a major Twitter rant Wednesday night to clarify rumors surrounding his clothing company and to announce the launch of a new company called "DONDA"-- affectionately named after his mother Donde West who passed away in 2007.

First, the "Watch The Throne" rapper would like everyone to know that the women's fashion collection he launched during Paris Fashion Week in September is not called "DW"--it's simply "Kanye West." Makes sense.

Which means that the report regarding a Twitter account created for the collection with the handle @dwbykanye is fake.

West tweeted:

"The name of the line is Kanye West not DW... The Dw was a design element placed on the invite in homage to my mom : )"

"I really appreciate the fake DW twitter page but since it's not official I can't co sign any information on it."

In addition, we learned that despite the lack of confidence in West's clothing designs, He has had some impressive experience within the industry--including an internship at Fendi and a 2-year apprenticeship at Giuseppe Zanotti.

Now with all that fashion fuss cleared up, West can focus his efforts on world domination with DONDA. For over an hour, West tweeted a steady stream of thoughts, ideas and goals about the company. An epic 80-tweet rant. The company sounds like a think tank where West will employ an army of creative people to produce tons of amazing products that will change the world in a positive way. Pretty fab, right? Well, West certainly thinks so and wants anyone that feels the same to email him at: [e-mail]

Gasp! We're just as shocked as you. Fingers crossed he's really serious. Start updating that resume!

It's also worth noting that amongst all this talk of altruism, West did not mention anything about the Kim Kardashian/Amber Rose/Reggie Bush cheating scandal that surfaced yesterday. Damage control?

Here are West's tweets explaining all the DONDA details:

Kanye,

I find this fascinating and look forward to this entrepreneurial incubation of ideas.

To be honest, I'm most interested with the actual process you utilize to manage the ideas, this process could almost be more interesting than the finished end products themselves and could be applied by many people all over the world.

Such a wide range of people from so many different professional backgrounds will no doubt create a few emotional disagreements, but if the ground rules are set and the process is managed correctly the results could be extraordinary and revolutionary.

DONDA, it does actually have a pretty good ring to it, it's multinational, it's exclusive, it's modern, sleek, and almost scientific sounding.

It will be interesting to hear about its first clients and what they end up achieving.

I feel terribly sorry for the impressionable losers that hang on every childish word and action of this re-gressive man child. The Huff does no favors for these kids by still making this guy relevant in any way other than being a poster child for bad behavior.

I am not going to slam what I don't know and I've been observing the talentless West since his GB don't like BP comment as well as listen to some of his banal lyrics to his nursery rhymes. He is a prime example of how far pop music has declined and after the Swift incident an awful whiny role model to be looked upon as "cool" "hip" "down" whatever. Who in heaven's name would want to model themselves after a spoiled recalcitrant ten year old that is over the age of 12 mystifies me. Ya gotta grow up sometime.

His face is getting chubby a early sign of middle age! if only he thought he could sell his clothes because they are good designs and not because he thinks people would buy anything made by kanye even .... if it had the donda by kanye tag on it.

I'm not sure why there are so many negative responses to his stream of consciousness. He doesn't say anything out of the way or derogatory; if you don't want to read about his idea, don't follow him on twitter. The reason HP puts the word rant int the headline is so people who want to see an angry, out of control celebrity will click on the link hoping to read a steady stream of curses, slams against other artists, and maybe a response to the KK/RB issue. Had twitter been around in the days of Andy Warhol, I'm sure his tweets would have been considered "rants" as well.

When his mother crapped him out, she could have at least flushed the terlet.
