Will.i.am has revealed that he wants to start his own Willy Wonka factory one day, that will consist of a hub filled with creative individuals coming up with innovative things.
The Black Eyed Peas band member told the Daily Star that he is going to have 10,000 people working in the business and he is currently working on a prototype of the battery-powered electric vehicle Segway.
The tech-obsessed 'Voice' coach said that he once went to Harrods and saw a stuffed animal with a speaker next to it.
The rapper, whose real name is William James Adams, asserted that he ripped the toy apart, put the speaker in its belly, sewed it up and put an iPhone in its mouth.
William, 38, added to the publication that it's his prototype for the next product.
