Kanye West Further Disses Nike: "They Tried to Son Me" (@KanyeWest)

During an open dialogue at the Madison Square Garden stop of the Yeezus tour this weekend, Kanye showed signs of a deeper rift between him and Nike, as well as hinted at a new deal to be announced as early as Monday.

“They try to act like people ain’t line up for the Yeezys,” he said, going on to drop names like designer Hedi Slimane, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, and Kering Corporation head Francois Pinault. “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.”

Kanye even admitted that he, the designer of the hyped “Red October” Air Yeezy IIs, might not even know when, or if, the kicks would drop. “I asked Nike when the Red Octobers supposed to drop, and they said, ‘We don’t know,'” he said.

That leaves Adidas as the number one contender for the artist’s designing chops, as it’s the second biggest brand behind Nike, with the production resources the rapper has already admitted to be looking for. The brand also has a pedigree of working with rappers from Big Sean to A$AP Rocky.
