Kanye West added a new chapter to his beef with Nike on New Year’s Eve when he released the song “Facts” and rapped that “Nike treat employees just like slaves,” among other disses.
In a recent interview with TMZ, the rapper explained why he would not re-sign with Nike, even if they offered him a billion-dollar deal. On “Facts,” West references LeBron James‘ lifetime deal with Nike, saying the company “gave LeBron a billi’ not to run away.”
“It’s not about the money,” West says. “It’s about respect, the communication….adidas is my family.”
West is also asked about the high price of his adidas clothing line. For the Yeezy Season 1 collection, a black hoodie cost $625 and a camouflage T-shirt was priced at $235.
“We gonna get them lowered, next season,” West says.

I like kanye music not all but a good portion fact is trash i dont like the way he acts tho like he really that nigga ijs and all them air yeezys and shit corny and really over priced rs
The song ‘Facts’ should have been called ‘Lies’
when he signed with adidas he said yeezys would not be limited and said the price wouldnt be high so everyone can afford it but then he drops limited numbers of yeezys then charges stupid high prices for clothes out of oscar the grouch’s tin can THEN says they’ll be lower next time…yeezy acting like a president already!
Yeezys are nice but their a fad just like gunit, and s.carters they’ll play out soon, I have some but they were a gift from a friend
isn’t Nike and Adidas owed by the same people… at the top

Lange is mad because they were going to give him less than LeBron got…Simple!
