Kanye West wanted to meet Michael Jordan?

On his song Facts, Kanye West took a dig at Michael Jordan where he claimed that Yeezy jumped over Jumpman. And as we all know, Jordan is extremely competitive, be it in basketball or sneaker sales. However, the rapper still wanted to meet the Chicago Bulls legend. West claimed he would buy Chicago Bulls so that he could sort things out with Jordan in his song, City of Gods. He rapped on his song, “After I buy Chicago Bulls, I’ma go and link with Mike.”

However, owing to the earlier diss, Jordan has still not met West. Despite Jumpman’s refusal to meet him, West left no chances as he has apologized to Jordan on a number of occasions. Previously, Marcus Jordan tried to bring the two legends together but failed to make it happen. West expressed his disappointment on a podcast where he revealed, “I’m trying to meet with Michael Jordan, it’s like ‘Man, it’s a song, man.”
