Is Kanye launching designer DIY? Rapper visits IKEA headquarters in Sweden amid rumours of a collaboration

Kanye West has visited IKEA's head office in southern Sweden following rumours of a design collaboration.

The U.S. rapper-turned-fashion designer was spotted at IKEA in Almhult, south Sweden, causing mayhem, once word spread of his visit to the flatpack furniture giant.

IKEA had made the unusual move of not making Kanye's visit public, with the rap star's visit only becoming known after local fans posted pictured on social media.

Not until Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet published an article about Kanye's reported visit did the flatpack furniture giant confirm that he was at their head office in Almhult, the town in southern Sweden where IKEA was founded in the 1940s.

Company spokesman Jakob Holmstrom said that West was visiting several IKEA facilities at the head office, including its design division.

Kanye has previously been connected to designer Kate Eary, who in turn can be connected to IKEA, Aftonbladet reports. 

Holmstrom would not comment on whether West and IKEA were planning a joint commercial project, saying 'time will tell.'

Meanwhile, Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian-West has come under fire for trying - and failing - to break the internet once again by posting a nude selfie on Twitter.

The mother-of-two posted a naked snap from before she fell pregnant with infant son Saint, her breasts and hips covered with black bars.

The nude image, captioned: 'When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL', did not gather the same traction as some of her previous naked stunts.

A number of celebrities and media profiles made comparatively light-hearted jokes on social media, but Mrs Kardashian-West was clearly affronted.

She went on an epic Twitter rant in the style of her husband, slamming her critics in typical Yeezy fashion.

The reality star lashed out at legendary singer Bette Midler and Hollywood actress Chloe Grace Moretz, who had both shared their disdain at her exhibitionism earlier that day.

Kim also brazenly appeared to imply she's paid off her husband Kanye's supposed $53 million debts.

'hey @BetteMidler I know it's past your bedtime but if you're still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding,' Kim wrote.

Then added: 'hey @BetteMidler I really didn't want to bring up how you sent me a gift awhile back trying to be a fake friend then come at me #dejavu'.

She then hit out at 19-year-old Moretz, writing: 'let's all welcome to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo'. 

Kim also bragged about how much money she's bagged: 'sorry I'm late to the party guys I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check & transferring 53 million into our joint account'.

Glam up your style in a fur coat like Kim

She's back in the spotlight following the birth of her new baby, and Kim's set to stun with a whole new look. Heading to Madison Square Garden to support her husband's line, Kim rocked an oversized fur coat... along with peroxide blonde hair.

Making the coat the star of the show here, Kim nonetheless added a plunging body suit, fringe skirt and perspex heels.

Add a white fur jacket to your wardrobe staples while the fur-friendly weather is still here. This crisp coat strikes the balance perfectly between elegant and cool, and works fabulously both with jeans and sneakers as well as your cocktail dress for Saturday night!
