Kanye leaves music for fashion?

Could it finally be true?

A source close to Kanye West has suggested the style-conscious rapper is set to leave his first love - music - behind to focus on fashion.

Rumours about Kim Kardashian's better half swapping his decks for drawing boards have abound for years.

But now apparently the producer's recent designing deal with Adidas could spell the end for the Bound 2 star's beats - at least for a while.

A source told New York Post's Page Six: 'After his next [collaboration] with Paul McCartney comes out, he's going to step away from music and concentrate on clothing.

'He got a $15million signing bonus from Adidas, but his line has been pushed back four times because he hasn't had enough time to work on it.'

The 37-year-old recently scrapped his deal with Adidas' shoe rival Nike to work with the brand.

His first serious venture into the world of the beautiful people came in 2011, when he launched his self-named clothing line at Paris Fashion Week.

However the Black Skinhead star cancelled his third showcase less than a year later and shut the brand shortly after.

A more fruitful foray into fashion came when he collaborated with luxury French clothing company APC, which sold out in less than 24 hours.

Kanye recently angered fans by reportedly delaying a flight, refusing to take selfies with people, and instead focusing on raunchy pictures of Kim on his laptop.
