He is bro

We make some of of the adidas shoes for Yeezy The team is 1099 designers so …. Independent contractors - they get their pay - room and board - AND a $5k/mo stipend just to deal w ye. He fired people for the color of their shirt or whatever mood he’s in - the simple fact is that he gets creative control but he is paid $200M a year flat fee - he is not licensing In fact - ye is not good at contracts at all - We love him , big fan but for real he has little business sense and he is surrounded by yes men on his team that are too afraid to tell him no or tell him projects are not feasible. He is a little emperor and unfortunately he is not patenting or trademarking his own designs and so the corporations do own it he does not - he is not strategic about he threatens people and it’s cool to the fan base but he needs someone to handle his biz way better - Nike had a field day w him Bc he didn’t read his contract and they didn’t have to pay him - I am frankly shocked that he is not licensing his designs to adidas Bc he could easily then get exclusivity from them and when he gets mad he could shop around to someone else - he would be getting royalties instead of a flat fee but I guess his team doesn’t know how to do this so he’s screaming into the void and it just makes him look worse and like a brand liability
