O prechode Kanyeho Westa od Nike k adidas sa za posledné dni toho popísalo celkom dosť, no okrem nejasného vyjadrenia z rantu na zastávke jeho Yeezus tour neboli dostupné žiadne oficiálne informácie. Tentokrát sa tak samotný Ye zastavil v rádiu Hot 97, aby uviedol všetky veci na pravú mieru.
Jeho prechod je tak už takmer oficiálny, no vyzerá to, že sa dočká vlastnej divízie a nebude len súčasťou Yamamotovej Y-3. Dôvody jeho rozhodnutia sú však jasné, keďže sa nedočkal Kanye u Nike dostatočného priestoru na realizáciu a rovnako ani podielov, ktoré bližšie definoval v samotnom rozhovore. Ten si môžeš pre lepšie pochopenie prečítať aj pod videom.
So then I start turning up in the BBC interview, so [Nike] said, ok cool, we’re gonna give you a bigger sandbox to play in. We’re gonna give you this amount right here to design, and two collections a year, and 30 skews — that’s the amount of items that you have. Would that make you happy, Kanye? And I said, well I need royalties. It’s not even like I have a joint venture. At least give me some royalties. Michael Jordan has 5%, that business is $2 billion. He makes a $100 million dollars a year off of 5% royalties. Nike told me we can’t give you royalties because you’re not a professional athlete. I told them, I go to the Garden and play one-on-NO-ONE. I’m a performance athlete. Did I really ANYTHING? YES! Did I really EVERYTHING. 100,000 percent. I’m 100,000 percent at all times. It’s people that work in offices trying to tell me how to think, when I got a better perspective. I live in Paris.
So the old me, without a daughter, would have taken the Nike deal because I just love Nikes so much. But the new me, with a daughter, takes the adidas deal because I have royalties and I have to provide for my family.
