NEW YORK – Kanye West fans in Toronto can buy a taste of “The Life of Pablo” this weekend following the rapper-turned-fashion mogul’s announcement of 21 pop-up stores worldwide that will be open for just a few days.

West tweeted a map with red dots indicating the stores’ locations Wednesday night.

Toronto is the only Canadian city, 13 of the stores will be in major cities in the U.S., and other shops are in Amsterdam, Berlin, Cape Town, London, Melbourne, Singapore and Sydney.

West is expanding the pop-up store concept following similar events in New York, Los Angeles and Paris earlier this year. West says the New York event generated $2 million in sales of items including thrift store jackets customized by West for $400.
