After vocalizing frustration with Nike, Kanye West says he is sorry.
“I really feel honored to have had the chance to blow Yeezy [sneakers] up with Nike,” West said in an interview with I Am Tall Boy. “I really appreciate everything they did for me. I’m not knocking them on the way out or burning no bridges. I apologize for my frustration earlier.”
West has now confirmed a deal with adidas. During the Tall Boy interview, West also spoke about how that compares to his work in music.
“Man, it just feels good to be able to create more,” West said, “[to] create product that I can control the pricing on, that I can do quality control on and I feel very comfortable to have a great partner backing my ideas and allowing me to think and be creative, giving me that shot the same way how Dame [Dash] gave me a record deal ten years ago, gave me a shot and I was able to do something creative with it.”
In November, Kanye West spoke about his frustration with Nike during a concert.
“They try to act like people ain’t line up for the Yeezys,” Kanye said. “[Nike CEO] Mark Parker tried to son me. Yes. Son me because I am the sun and I will shine bright. And when I don’t have as much money as a billionaire and when I don’t have the factories that, that dude has over there, what I do have is my voice. Ain’t no corporation that can take me away from my voice and I’m going to scream at the top of my motherfucking mountain as loud as I want. Anything I want. Whenever I want. Is that crazy? So I’m going to make the announcement on Monday with the corporation that finally let me get an opportunity to create.”
In the same month, West spoke with New York radio station Hot 97 about his work with Nike and his then-rumored work with adidas.
“The old me, without a daughter, might’ve taken the Nike deal because I just love Nike so much, blah blah blah, but the new me, with a daughter, takes the Adidas deal, because I have royalties, and I have to provide for my family,” West said.
Kanye apologizing? What a shock.
Because, there’s potential money involved. Keeping that door open, no other reason.
Still if your claiming to be walt Disney and huge fuckin names that he thinks he can live up to…..you can’t deny its funny to see him put in his place by the dudes who sign his check
Oh, no, I completely agree. Actually, that’s sort of my point: he’s doing all this “fuck everybody” shit and then has to grovel to make sure the $$$ still comes his way.
Not tryin to burn bridges with nike and workin with adidas would probably be two things incompatible with each other, i think.
He is more confused than Aliriza from my class. and he is very confused.
New Slaves Freestyle
I write for DX, but I write for the streets
So Kanye get on your knees and kiss Nike’s feet
(ha ha)You’re just a hypocrite, an insecure little bitch
You rant, scream & shout, you’re an annoying prick
I know it seems bad that you failed your artist
Pusha T must be fuming, he signed with someone so retarded
Lord Jamar dissed you, Seth Rogen & James Franco tooks shots at you like a missle
Sway kissed your ass that shit wasn’t kosher, now you’re in a pickle
You looked like a jerk, I’m really perturbed
The way that you yelling, got me wondering “are you mentally disturbed?”
I caught so much flack for writing that article
Because these DX punks make mountains out of molehills, but the shit is so marginal
So I’m ethering them, and now I’m ethering you
How would you feel if you were a disgraced editor? Don’t ask adidas to put you in my shoes(ha ha)
Dude, you suck. Nobody gives a fuck about you. I also fucked your mom.
mud shit lol..
new artists for that raw lyricism look up angry mic for gangster rap look up Freddie gibbs for meaningful raps and lyricism look up shizzy six or futuristic
i got a track with shizzy sixx check out Rage617 & Shizzy six – bad temper … my new name is hush harding tho check out my youtube if you feel those artists
Kanye done realized adidas is more aimed at sports so now he’s shitting himself cos his line with adidas will fail, so he don’t wanna burn bridges with Nike so he can crawl back over it!
Truth has been told

I hope when Gucci is back that he will beat the shit out of Gaye West
Gucci huh? The same guy that talked shit to everybody on twitter (but didn’t name Kanye), then he claimed he was hacked, then he said he did do the shit talking and he was sorry? That Gucci? Man, he’s as real as it gets. Spilling his guts on how he feels about people on twitter, and then backtracks?
go troll on Waka Flacka Flames post.
Why should GOD himself apologize?

Kanye wants to be on the same global level as Jay-z, Dr. dre with his headphones, Jimmy lovine, Russell , etc. The problem is he is already black balled by “corporate America/ New Wold Order for his rants and antipolitical commentary on national t.v.. HE CAN’T TALK SHIT ABOUT THEIR AGENDA AND THEN APOLOGIZE TO BE PART OF IT!!!
Why they tryin to son me and act like I can’t be a part of no Illuminati??? Jay in the Illuminati. Dre in the Illuminati. Obama in the Illuminati. Who the hell got the answers??? Sway you got the answers??? Naw main… YOU AIN’T GOT THE ANSWERS

To all those who were behind the mythical “Kanye Movement” where corporations were evil and after your soul, LOOK AT YOUR LEADER NOW! Recanting all his bullshit weeks after saying it. You are all a bunch of cunts. You are the “sheeple” Kanye was referring to in his previous rants that are all now just pointless, meaningless, worthless jumbling of words. Jokes on you mother fuckers, and it will be for the rest of your lives. Now go buy some Adidas you shameful idiots.
Kanye is going to be even bigger 5 years from now. Just watch. I know he just wants to make us be able to dress better. You’re just being a hateful.
“I know he just wants to make us be able to dress better”
he wants to feminize America! turn our young men into skirt wearing faggots like him!! #noslaves
church
@ Anon 1, preach brother, preach.
This isn’t about skirts, you morons (Anon #1 & 3) this is about him making a platform to create fashion. He isn’t going to be in the public eye, he’s trying to create a dynasty.. Like, something that doesn’t fade in 4 years. He doesn’t want a Roc-A-Wear. He wants a Gucci. He wants a Jimmy Choo. The skirts, other weird fashion, that’s to grab the attention of, well, everybody. Who doesn’t know of the crazy shoes, leather, etc.? Don’t be so naive and stupid.
Not that I agree w/ the skirts, etc. I’m just saying, game recognize game. Oo, and the “just wants to make us be able to dress better”, wait, wtf?? Dude are you like 8?
Okay, wait?
You are apologizing for a deal that ain’t been made? If you didn’t sign the Nike deal, then fuck him. Don’t take your words back. It is what it is. I dont’t like the shit he’s spazzing out on but I do understand the circumstances.
Unless… you are trying to get back in their good graces because may you know that you may need them. Just Maybe. What’s your tactic, Mr. West?
I think that Kanye took too many hard drugs in the last time. Since yeezus that is not the same Kanye something get fucked in he’s head and I don’t know what but I want Kanye back.
He seems to me like a depressed junkie who doesn’t know what he talking must of the time
why is there a non-music kanye related story everyday now, he must be channeling his inner Kim K media whore
And how exactly did his baby-momma get inside of him for him to channel?
sure went over your head didn’t it?
LMAO what a moron
and im pretty sure she climbed right up inside his gaping ass hole
His Ego was so big she just climbed right in
I understand his overall point but dude is trying to act like he’s a struggling, underprivileged millionaire all the fuckin time, coming from someone who claims hes from the hood. QUIT BITCHING
bitch ass niccuh
BIG GUCCI WOUOLD NEVER APOLOGIZE HE WOULD JUST KILL A NIGGA REAL NIGGA SHIT FREE THE EMPEROR
he went on twitter and apologized to a bunch of people after dissing them and claiming his shit was hacked LOL
FAIL
bitchassness reigns
I am Captain Kangaroo in the flesh. Smuckers. Kotex. M&M’s. Let me create more. Or do you want to marginalize me till I’m out of my moment? I am the number one, most impactful, delusional fruitcake of our generation.
until I looked at the bank draft saying $5501, I didn’t believe that…my… brothers friend was like they say really earning money part-time from there computar.. there friends cousin haz done this 4 only 10 months and resently cleared the depts on there cottage and bought a great Buick. try here… http://www.Fb39.Com
