I’M BEGGING YOU
Being an international superstar isn’t enough for Kanye West. According to Bossip.com Mr. West is begging sports giant Nike to give him a chance to design his own sportswear range. This comes after Kanye designed exclusive footwear for the brand which retailed at $215 and sold out in the US. In an interview with Complex Magazine Kanye said ‘I’m going to keep coming up with ideas, but I do want to state in black and white that somebody needs to give me a f**king chance. Don’t just one-off me! If Nike gave me the opportunity to be in there creating - not that they don’t already have genius designers like Hiroshi (Fujiwara) - I’m not saying that I think I’m the best designer in the world, but what I’m saying is that I think I can become that. I want to be able to be mentioned in the same breath as the greats. I just want to be competitive’.
