Rich people debt is WAYYY worse than common debt.

Mainly because when they get too far in debt they just let their companies go bankrupt. But that debt doesnt just disappear.
 
:lol: you guys really believed he was in debt.

He meant that's what he had to pay till he finally broke into fashion said it to tmz or someone when he was at the airport
 
He literally doesn't know what the definition of debt is. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Kanye ISNT 53mil in debt. This dude loves to use wrong terminology and exaggerate things.

Since he started wanting to make clothes like over 10 years ago till now, he has spent 53mil of his own money investing in his own projects and ideas.

It's not dept, it's just that most of it came at a loss. He's not operating his life in the red and the term debt was wrong to use in this situation. He's made his money back, but not from where he invested it. Lol.

Not even just clothes.

He was funding certain concepts for his tours and videos. Remember he said he spent a mill on Touch The Sky in that rant where he lost that award? 3 videos for Jesus walks, 2 for Heard Em Say, etc.

Creating Our Own ‘Yeezy-Halo’ Effect
When Adidas first signed Kanye West, a ton of criticism and chatter followed about whether the deal would do anything to help bring back the brand’s relevancy and allow it to compete with Nike for the top spot in the footwear industry.

While not yet reclaiming the No. 2 spot from Under Armour, Adidas is coming off being the most-liked sneaker brand on Instagram for 2015, having arguably the No. 1 sneaker of year  in the Ultra Boost running shoe, and touting unmatched brand buzz across the board, including renewed interest in the Stan Smiths and Superstar heritage shoe lines.

Not all artist relationships are as integrated into the fabric of pop culture or deeply emotional as Kanye and Adidas. But with a real-time holistic approach leveraging artist passion points and a corporate brand marketing infrastructure, we can leverage the same tactics to “Yeezy-hack” the traditional celebrity brand business relationship.

Yes, this much was expected when Adidas partnered with Ye.

Curious to see if Adidas released any sales #s of Ye's shoes.

Can we stop pretending like he's the only Adidas sponsored personality that's helping the brand?

If there is "renewed interest in the Stan Smiths and Superstar heritage shoe lines", I'm pretty sure Pharrell has been seen in the Stans regularly and did an entire line of Superstars.

They really do need a strong basketball presence though. Dwight wasn't it. D Rose's injuries have hurt them. Not sure anyone checks for Lillard and Wall bounced. Who else is there?

Yeezy can get some credit for Adidas but it's because they actually make sneakers that rival Nike now

2012 = whatever



2015 = exciting



you can't make generic old sneakers and expect to compete with Nike
