Lindsey: What’s Kanye doing in Cody? Jonah: He’s living there, first of all. That was surprising to me. He’s there a lot, he’s made friends with a lot of the people who live there, and people have gotten used to seeing him around. I was there asking questions about him for a couple of days, and it got back to him pretty quickly. He’s also moved his brand, Yeezy, there. So he’s designing shoes, making music, [basically being Kanye](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgN9fyP0TPaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9rYW55ZWRvaW5ndGhpbmdzLz9obD1lbiZ0ZT0xJm5sPXdhaXQtLi4uJmVtYz1lZGl0X2xpXzIwMjAwMjI1JmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE2Mjc0JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjE2MDMmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyX2xpXzIwMjAwMjI1VwNueXRCCgAr8lJVXtwUWy5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), but in Wyoming. Lindsey: Who else lives there? How do they vote? Jonah: Cody is super-white (92 percent) and super-conservative (76 percent of the county voted for Trump). Kanye has been very vocal about his politics, which has definitely made it easier for at least some of his new neighbors to welcome him. Multiple people told me that they appreciated his support for the president. Lindsey: I’m a black woman. We sit near each other, so this should not come as a shock. I couldn’t stop thinking about race when reading this. I dream of leaving New York City and goin’ country but fear those communities would not be really welcoming.

And I’m a white guy! So I can only imagine how jarring that could be. On the other hand, Kanye hasn’t been anonymous for more than a decade. And in Cody, most people don’t expect that kind of anonymity, just because it’s not a huge place. So I almost wonder if there’s a leveling effect for him. He’s famous, but everyone in the town is to some degree known, at least within Cody. Lindsey: Cody has been an enclave for the rich and famous for some time. What’s the appeal? Would you move there? Jonah, Out West! Jonah: It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. It’s really close to Yellowstone and it’s just unbelievable looking. Sky, mountains, wild animals. There are actually a lot of bears, which is probably appealing for some people. I would never move there — I need my anonymity! Lindsey: How did you get people to talk to you? Jonah: It was a mix. I set up a bunch of interviews before I went, so I wasn’t just staring down three empty days. But I did also do a fair amount of man-on-the-street reporting, going into cafes and car dealerships and talking to people. Anyone who was friendly to me, I started trying to interview them. It’s actually kind of amazing to me how many people aren’t in the piece. Lindsey: And missing from the piece is Kanye himself. Jonah: Yes 😭 Lindsey: What happened? Jonah: Well, it was always conceived and pitched as a piece about Cody itself, not about Kanye, to the point where I had explained that to people many, many times, you know, “Kanye is the context of the piece but not the subject.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-1) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgN9fyP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTMwNzkyJmxpPUxJJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1MSV8yMDIwMDIyNVcDbnl0QgoAK_JSVV7cFFsuUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgN9fyP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTMwNzk0JmxpPUxJJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1MSV8yMDIwMDIyNVcDbnl0QgoAK_JSVV7cFFsuUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgN9fyP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NDQwMTg0JmxpPUxJJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1MSV8yMDIwMDIyNVcDbnl0QgoAK_JSVV7cFFsuUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ We had a weekslong conversation with his publicist, culminating in them agreeing to an interview. I booked flights to go back to Cody, and the next day my editor called me and told me that they had canceled the interview. I almost wanted to say, “They pulled on the deal,” because that’s how Kanye described what happened to him when he was originally going to be given his record contract in “[Last Call](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgN9fyP0TJaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1jcGJlUzE1c0haMCZ0ZT0xJm5sPXdhaXQtLi4uJmVtYz1lZGl0X2xpXzIwMjAwMjI1JmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE2Mjc0JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjE2MDMmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyX2xpXzIwMjAwMjI1VwNueXRCCgAr8lJVXtwUWy5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).” Lindsey: Deep cut!

What’s in it for Kanye to talk to you? Jonah: That’s a great question. The story is about his intentions for his new home. Who better to explain those intentions than Kanye himself? And the impression I get is that he does want to do that. He just wants to do it on his own timeline. (This conversation has been edited).
