Kanye West 於紐約演唱會上開腔回應目前與 Hedi Slimane 及 Nike 的關係

Kanye West 在上週末於紐約 Madison Square Garden 舉行「The Yeezus Tour」演唱會，並照板煮碗在演唱會中段發表「講話」，這次的講話內容圍繞時裝設計師 Hedi Slimane，以及盛傳將結束合作關係的運動品牌 Nike。較早前曾經有消息傳出本來與 Kanye West 份屬好友的 Hedi Slimane 因為禁止對方出席其他設計師的發佈會，而導致二人關係決裂，今次 Kanye West 就藉著演唱會開腔回應。

“Now I know y’all don’t know who the fuck Hedi Slimane is, but let me explain to you who he is. He was once a friend of mine…And I used to wear his tight ass jeans when I was on tour and get called names for it… [He was] somebody who actually had a vision and was not put in a position of power. Cuz I’m telling you, my friend, they be sellin’ you bullshit. And Hedi Slimane was a guy who didn’t serve no bullshit…But a God to recognize another God. But a God needs to recognize another God. So when he told me you can come to my show, but you can’t come to see Phoebe and you can’t come to see Riccardo, that was odd. He tried to control me! He tried to tell me where I could go!

此外，原定於今年 10 月推出的 Air Yeezy II 「Red October」配色設計亦盛傳因為 Kanye West 與廠商意見不及而流產，對此 Kanye West 亦有作出回應。
