Kanye West remains in the limelight with or without his physical appearances or new album release. The ‘Donda’ singer has gone underground for the past few months following several controversial public interviews. In his absence, the people who have worked with him are making the headlines by revealing their experiences of working with the creative genius. Former Adidas-Yeezy employee Omar Bailey is the new addition to the list. He recently explained what it felt like to work with Ye.

Fans have seen West as a producer or rapper, but his entry into the fashion industry was something no one saw coming. While it lasted long, his split with Adidas came with many employees complaining against him. However, Omar Bailey does not share the same sentiment.

Adidas-Yeezy employee spills the beans on working with Kanye West

Both Adidas and Kanye West enjoyed their decade-long partnership before ending it on rough terms. The artist was not only a figurehead but also an active participant in the shoe design. It required him to work with people in the team, including the innovative head, Bailey. “The biggest thing I learned from him and the experiences is that impossible really is nothing,” he revealed on The Baller Alert Show. Ye encouraged him to go beyond the lines and experiment freely. He wrapped up the question about his learning from Ye, by stating how has told him to go beyond the boundaries.

The innovative head also reflected on his first meeting with Ye. While on a task, Ye wanted to make design changes without the process being slow or on an industrial level. His experience was similar to many who have worked with Ye before. During their meeting, they spoke and discussed ideas for 45 minutes. He commended the entertainer for holding an interrupted session.

Although with the Adidas deal, he was one of the few people who had no complaints about the singer.

The future of Adidas and Ye remains in the dark today

The Yeezy deal not only made Ye one of the most successful non-sport collaborators, but the line also made up to 10% of Adidas’ total profits. West’s controversies forced them to go separate ways. However, their split cost Adidas more than $700 million. Meanwhile, Ye also lost his billionaire status. There were discussions of the two reuniting just to deal with the remaining Yeezy products, but no further details about it are out yet. Today, the brand still strives to find a replacement who will be as profitable as the rapper.
