&#8220;Look at my paycheck&#8221; &#8211; Kanye West Who Recently Ended a $970 Million Deal with Gap Once Got Candid About Realities of Working Part-Time for the $5.6 Billion Worth Brand

Kanye West once worked part-time for Gap. The ‘Donda’ singer who recently ended
his deal with Gap, Adidas, and Balenciaga has always been a lover of fashion.
While he gained fame as a hip-hop artist globally, his creativity extended to
designing apparel as well. Much of its credit goes to his early years.



Ye grew up with his mother Donda West and spent some time in China while she
worked there. Upon returning to the USA, he began working part-time with Gap.
With all the fame now, he took a trip down memory lane to reveal the life and
experience of working with the brand.


WHAT DID KANYE WEST HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH GAP?

Gap is one of the biggest brands that has survived through the years. Even Kanye
West had a journey from working with them to collaborating with them. But as per
The List,
[https://www.thelist.com/736240/the-truth-about-kanye-wests-time-working-at-the-gap/]
he had dedicated a song named ‘Spaceship’ from the album ‘College Dropout.’ The
lyrics of which went, “Look at my check — wasn’t no scratch So if I stole,
wasn’t my fault.” It described a young Ye working at Gap and earning very less.

In 2015, he spoke to Paper Magazine about how he could not afford to buy clothes
from the brand despite working there. He could not even avail good discounts.
Being a high school student, he was only allowed to work part-time.



Years after that, the singer went on to become one of the biggest hip-hop
artists. Much of his wealth came, not from his music but from his fashion
collaborations. His Yeezy GAP collaboration made a wild buzz on the internet.
The collaboration was estimated to be worth $970 million, and a partnership plan
of ten years.

But Ye’s Presidential run and controversial statements began creating problems.
After a point, they could not turn a blind eye and the collaboration took a sour
turn. Ye also lost his billionaire status due to the whole fiasco but still
backs his opinions. He then began promoting the idea of building his own brand
that can be affordable to all.

Although the circumstances have changed, his love for clothes and fashion
remains the same.
