Kanye West is demanding to be on the Adidas and Gap boards.
The rapper-turned-designer took to Twitter to express his demands, also sharing somewhat of a threat (albeit with product) toward each company he is aligned with if he is not added to their boards.
“I’M WEARING JORDANS TILL I’M ON THE BOARD OF ADIDAS,” West wrote on the social media platform. He followed that tweet with, “I’M NOT RELEASING NOTHING ON GAP TILL I’M ON THE BOARD.”
The rapper-turned-designer revealed on Twitter that he didn’t have a board seat at Gap or Adidas, also writing “Black board seats matter” on the social media platform.
Gap and West announced that they had struck a deal. After creating for Nike, the multihyphenate signed with Adidas in 2013.
“In my Adidas contract, I definitely should be able to wear Jordans. Jordans need to be part of reparations. You can’t tell a Black man not to wear Jordans,” West said during the conversation with a laugh. “Any deal [should say], ‘But you could wear Jordans.’”
West’s also took shots at the brand’s rival, Puma.
“I am the head of adidas,” also wrote on twitter “I will bring adidas and puma back together and bring me and jay back together … all pumas designs are embarrassingly trash but I will personally design puma and adidas and make everything ok.”
The next day, West apologized for his comments about Puma.
