In 2013, Kanye featured on Sway’s radio show, asking for assistance from various fortune companies like Walt Disney, Google, etc., to help him create more. Back then, the radio host advised him to empower himself and do it on his own, to which Kanye responded, “You ain’t got the answers, Sway.” Ten years later, it seems like Sway did have the answer.

What plans does the rapper have for Yeezy?

Amidst his ongoing legal feuds with GAP and Adidas, the Graduation singer plans to go at it alone. Despite having a contract with both Adidas and GAP worth billions of dollars, West plans to release his own line of Yeezy goods.
