LeBron's answer kinda validates Kanye's point....right?

[Sithlord Piff]

Kanye West released his song, “Facts” not too long ago and there was a line in the song that people took as a diss to Lebron James.

The line was, “Nike, Nike treat employees just like slaves // Gave LeBron a billi’ not to run away”. To our interpretation, as well as the public, he was implying that Lebron was a slave to the Nike Corporation. Seems clear as day right?

When Lebron James was asked what he felt about the song on Monday he said (according to ESPN ) “I haven’t really listened to it. I heard about it but I haven’t listened to it. Obviously I’m going to side with Nike no matter who it is. It’s just, it’s family when you talk about Nike, and I’m always on their side no matter what the situation is, so. We don’t look upon nobody on our side, we just try to put the best athletes that we can out on the floor every night.”

Undying loyalty and false sense "family" to a bunch of wealthy middle aged Cacs.....

Billion dollars. Slave. Nope. You become handcuffed about giving your opinion, and have to walk on eggshells to not burn your bridge and get sued to bits, but
he is hardly a slave.

fukk Nike, though.

Its a business deal. The fact that Kanye can't understand that shows why his ass can't do it big in the fashion business.

Kanye is a hater. Must be mad that Nike wouldn't give him a better royalty for the Yeezys. Shame that he is trying to tear another man down.

Kanye West Leaves Nike for Adidas and a Reported $10 Million | SPIN

Kanye West has reportedly closed a $10 million deal with Adidas after severing his creative partnership with Nike. Last week in an interview with Hot 97, the man behind SPIN’s Album of the Year explained that Nike had failed to offer him decent royalties on his Air Yeezy shoe, while in his recent Barclays rant he said the iconic brand had also delayed the release of his new Red Octobers in order to convince stores to order additional less-desirable stock.

During West’s heated Shade 45 interview with Sway, he had words for Nike’s CEO:

“Mark Parker … I will still accept an investment in DONDA. I’ve got some more ideas that don’t involve shoes [so] if you guys are investing in the arts … I am standing up and I’m telling you. I. Am. Warhol. I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation, in the flesh. I am Shakespeare, Walt Disney. Nike. Google. Now who’s gonna be the Medici Familiy and stand up and let me create more?”

“Adidas” is the answer for the time being, it seems. New York Post reported the rumored $10 million price tag, which we can assume will be supplemented with decent royalties (previously West said Michael Jordan commands 5 percent of al Air Jordan sales, but that the he can’t because he’s not a professional athlete). For their part, Kanye’s new collaborators seem more than happy to forge an alliance with the Yeezus MC.

“For 2014, we welcome to the adidas family one of the most influential cultural icons of this generation, Kanye West,” Adidas said via statement, lowercasing their own name in the presence of his mighty genius. “Well known for breaking boundaries across music, film and design and partnering with our history in street wear culture and leading innovations in sport, we look forward to creating a new chapter. Details to follow.”

Is Lebron supposed to side with Adidas?

 

[onlylno]

Go ahead call him a slave. But how many slaves are worth a billing+ dollars.

Most of us are only worth 12.75 an hour, 30 hours a week. We still got to do the same slave shyt LeBron do, not to burn bridges and keep the lights on.

 

[Pdiddy]

I blame the dumb ass consumers who pay $250 for a $5 dollar shoe.

 

[Poitier]

Thats a tough line, too bad the song is
