Remember the Time When Kanye West Called Out Nike for Stealing Through a Tweet About Michael Jordon?

Kanye West has lost his place among the wealthiest rappers in the world after
his constant trail of controversies. People started questioning his partner
companies and sponsors why they weren’t taking any action against hate speech.
Adidas maintained its silence when Ye appeared wearing a White Lives Matter
T-shirt at a fashion show in Paris. But they finally decided to snap ties with
the rapper, following his offensive and antisemitic remarks.

It happened because the Donda singer stated in an interview that Adidas would
not go against him. However, the consequences turned out to be different from
his belief. Amidst this, we revisit a statement the hip-hop star once made for
another brand. Remember the time when Kanye West called out Nike for stealing
through a tweet about Michael Jordan?


KANYE WEST CONDEMNED NIKE FOR NOT GIVING MICHAEL JORDAN HIS RIGHT

Nike is the biggest sportswear brand in the world that has been sponsoring
athletes for years around the world. Michael Jordan was the first basketball
player who popularized this brand by becoming the face of it. Today, people
remember that time as an inspiring story that led to days of success. However,
Kanye West had a different opinion about the collaboration between Jordan and
Nike.

West claimed in a tweet
[https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-kanye-west-once-accused-nike-of-stealing-most-of-2-2-billion-michael-jordans-money-through-confusing-tweet/]
two years back that Nike has benefited most from the player and did not give his
rightful share to him. The former Yeezy owner compared their worth that Phil
Knight’s net worth is 40 billion whereas Jordan only has 1.6 billion.

“Phill Knight never had to jump from the free throw line… when you google Phil
you barely even see his face,” stated the fashion designer. According to him,
this huge difference between their net worth is unfair and the NBA player is
robbed.

The rapper accused Nike even though they have been paying him for ‘Jordan
brand.’ Michael Jordan gets royalty from the sale of every sneaker, for that
company is made after his name, but the company is owned by Phil Knight, the
co-founder of Nike.
