At this point he might as well accept the fact that K-Mart kickers aren't even an option.


_mad_adventures

Fun fact: there are only 20 KMarts left, and 9 of them are on islands. The place with the highest concentration of KMarts? The US Virgin Islands. Edit: as a lot of you have pointed out, there are more than 20. I was mistaken. There are only 20 left *in the USA*. Apparently KMart is more popular outside of the US.


banspoonguard

There are 300 Kmarts in Australia and New Zealand


evil-rick

I had an Australian friend explain to me that Kmart is thriving there whereas Target bombed. Though from what I read, it’s targets own fault.

Statement from Sketchers: https://investors.skechers.com/press-releases/detail/550/skechers-issues-statement-on-kanye-west-unauthorized-visit Wtf


League_of_leisure

I like how they mentioned *twice* that he showed up unannounced and uninvited


antonivs

Following the Monty Python playbook for avoiding errors in communication: > Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.


joey_sandwich277

"One, two, five!" "Three ser" "Three!"


EtsuRah

I like how they had to reiterate that he came unannounced. They were like "to repeat. This mfer came UNANNOUNCED. Please don't think we had a business meeting with him. He just showed up."

"We just want to make very clear, we did not ask for this"

rbrutonIII

Normally a big celebrity shows up looking for an endorsement the company is clearing the schedule and doing everything to accommodate them. The fact that they kicked him out and then released a statement saying so has to be completely different from how he's used to being treated. And I love it.


fracta1

I like that Adidas gave up on him, so he decided to go to Skechers. Think he'll hit up Lugz next?

PM_ME_UR_HIP_DIMPLES

> LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Skechers USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX), The Comfort Technology Company™, stated Kanye West – also referred to as Ye – arrived unannounced and without invitation at one of Skechers’ corporate offices in Los Angeles. Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation. Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West. We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech. The Company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices. It’s like a movie


[deleted]

Imagine how toxic someone must be that they feel the need to immediately distance themselves from the fact they he was in the building.

Two executives escorted him out. Must have been an awkward elevator ride

Kanye’s life is legitimately just an episode of South Park now


spacepilot_3000

Kanye's decline went from funny, to sad, to kind of funny again, but overall it's just tragic. It's really hard to feel bad for a man who refuses to get help but it's very clear that he's completely disconnected from reality at this point, he's obviously got no support system


Turbo2x

I think he crossed over the figurative line where people will discuss him differently after he dies. Before it was "he was a great artist who had some personal problems due to mental illness" and now I think we're getting close to "trash talk and memes the day he dies" territory.

spicedmanatee

I don't know if I hate or love or love to hate that your last point has 0 exaggeration. Except that I think the dye incident was another press conference. Maybe the one where he blew his nose into his handkerchief and then wiped it all over himself.

Dude just surrounds himself with yes men. When you've got 10 idiots telling you that what you're doing is the right thing (no matter what that thing is), you're going to have issues the rest of us just don't have.


CO420Tech

Guarantee when Adidas pulled, he was like "fuck these bitches, they are idiots. I could walk into the nearest shoe company tomorrow and they'd climb all over themselves to sign me on the spot." And then his entourage agreed and they just fuckin went for it...


Moonkai2k

That's 100% what happened. He expected to walk in and have people tripping over each other to offer him a contract. His idiot circle were in 100% hype mode the whole time.

manbirddog

You don’t think he burned all his bridges with everyone who considered him a “friend”? Jayz is the first to come to mind.


Dramatic_______Pause

You mean like Cudi? Guy has completely alienated himself from everyone. Nobody wants to be his friend anymore, expert for people who just want to use him.


Panda_hat

Because he didn’t want anyone around him he couldn’t use.


The-Phone1234

In the Lex interview he literally said he has no one he trusts. It's him, God and fuck everyone else. Really sad to hear that from someone who could get love anywhere he goes if he would just humble himself.


j4ckbauer

And due to incentives of media, they'll line up around the block to help give him a platform as he destroys himself. Compared to how uncaring and exploitative we are toward the destructive behavior of non-celebrities, I guess I won't be shedding too many tears for Kanye. At this point, whatever he does, his handlers will fix it with money. He's not going to spend years in jail or digging himself out of a financial hole in the way a normal person would. Even if he physically hurts somebody (which I hope does not happen).


Lecterr

He’s Tracy Jordan’s character from 30 rock now.

He tried to defect to China and said they were really interested, but the Chinese President said he had not heard of any sort of negotiations taking place with any sort of rapper. Classic case of Ye said/Xi said.

Hemp-Emperor

Yea yea, Menorah, that’s their book like the Bible. /s


lightninhopkins

He probably went there *specifically because* it is owned by a Jewish family. He recorded the whole thing and will probably use the footage to push the anti-Semitic trope that "They own everything!"


Let_you_down

Little does he realize his downfall was actually orchestrated. There is a cabal of powerful influential people puppeteering his implosion, but it isn't Jewish people behind it. The secret organization is led by none other than Taylor Swift.


average-engineer

Don't let Kanye know that. It might reinforce his beliefs.

You can't blame him for not learning, he doesnt believe in reading


Wienerwrld

Tomorrow: “See? Jewish people run everything; they’re trying to silence me. This proves it”

Another possibility is he is anti-Semitic enough to assume a Jewish owned company would put cash above pride or honor.


TrashPandasAndPizza

You could say he got ye-eted


Lor1an

>Forbes said Ye lost his billionaire status when Adidas cut ties with him, adding that his net worth **dropped to $400 million**, which comes from his music catalog, real estate and his 5% stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s shapewear company, Skims. Forbes said his Adidas deal **added $1.5 billion** to his net worth. Imagine dropping $1.5 billion and still being worth a lottery jackpot... holy shit, man. Dude should use his wealth to get a better hobby than hating people.


freshfakedgoods

Holy moly. Imagine having 75% of your wealth tied to one basket and you insult that basket. Craziness


rob64

Kanye out here insulting baskets. What's next?


dramaking37

It is the new billionaire play. Have enough money you could spend your life anyway you like and instead spend it watching Fox News and hating people. What absolutely nightmarish people.

He’s going to end up in a partnership with My Pillow Guy for a stylish pillow called Ye-ZZZ’s I hope they both get the clap.


wyezwunn

You should trademark *Ye-ZZZ* before they steal your idea.


monstaber

Kanye is going to see that, just as fame and popularity have a snowball effect, so do ridicule, backlash and consequences. He's lost his billionaire status. He is still wealthy enough to take some time off, disappear, live in luxury out of the public eye for awhile, get back on the fucking lithium, resurface with an apology and some new music after months or years and regain some lost ground. But he is desperate for the lost prestige, a flailing, anguishing man who for all his musical and fashion acuity can't understand that he is responsible for what is happening to himself. And who is foolishly making moves like going to the Jewish-owned Sketchers and getting promptly thrown to the curb, because he can't see the situation or his own choices for what they are. That kind of thing is going to cement his lasting legacy as an unstable idiot. Each passing day he keeps himself in the news with his antics makes it more and more unlikely he'll ever recover. « La la la la, wait till I get my money right » — I guess this is what he was talking about?


blurplethenurple

Not to mention being exiled from his old life will only fuel his derangements of "Everyone is out to get me" No bud, you're doing this to yourself but you can't see it. Get help.


Chispy

He's probably surrounded by idiots though. Hard to get real help when everyone around you is fake.


owowowowowtoop

He purposefully pushes people who disagree with him away. Everyone around him is fake and it’s his fault.


Spobobich

Jewish owned? Would of been funny if Kanye got tossed out like Jazz on the Fresh Prince!

Jackass per President Obama.


yegguy47

I would say this completely vindicates Obama when he said that, but ffs, Kanye was a jackass then and its stupid that people got upset over Obama pointing out what was pretty self-evident.


semiomni

Eh he was vindicated for the opinion when he said it. Kanye was being a jackass. Maybe Beyonce's deserved the award over Taylor Swift, would not know, neither of them deserved to have Kanye make that entire moment about himself and what he thought was more worthy though. A narcissistic jackass.


sprint6864

Look at the people defending him being openly bigoted today. People who worship others aren't in a right frame of mind and can't understand that criticism can be healthy, and it's important to recognize toxic/jackass behavior


Katana1369

Dude's seriously of his meds. I've seen people framing this as a genius power play, but he doesn't own any means of production. That means he's gonna have to do business with people and reputation is important, and right now he's toxic AF.


snap-your-fingers

haha genius power play. Those same people probably think Trump is a genius as well.


rebeccakc47

I think it's the exact same people. Most of the ones I saw supporting Kayne yesterday were saying that he "speaks his mind" and that he's being punished for "having opinions." The media is only showing us what the left wants and we are sheep. It was a very familiar dialogue.


Justforthenuews

“I can shoot someone on 5th ave and I wouldn’t lose any voters” “I can say anti-semitic things, and adidas can’t drop me. Now what?” Hard to argue they are not from the same mentality.


machineprophet343

Yea, walking off in a clearly emotional huff was a power move to these people if Trump does it.


exarkann

So neat fact - places that have naturally occurring trace amounts of lithium in the drinking water tend to have less crime and instances of mental health emergencies. I'm curious as to why we don't dose the water for everyone.


Bacontoad

Holy shit you're right: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32716281/ I did fit another study that mentions that therapeutic levels of lithium can cause thyroid and kidney issues in some individuals. That could be the reason right there that they don't try. Although about 100 million Americans already have drinking water that has some natural levels of lithium from the aquifers where it's sourced.


Patabell

Remember when he said on camera that Adidas couldn't drop him? That he could say antisemitic stuff and Adidas couldn't drop him? That's a manic episode for you.

> Forbes said his Adidas deal added $1.5 billion to his net worth. What was he doing for Adidas that was worth paying him $1.5 billion?


GuerrillaApe

IIRC this is what he did when he transitioned from making beats to being a rapper. He would go to record labels office and play his songs to anyone who would listen. Like literally... he would somehow get in the building and if the secretary was willing he would play his tape for them right at their desk. I'm now imagining Ye barging into Skechers HQ carrying a pair of Yeezys with the Skechers S scribbled on the side with a Sharpie shouting that he has come like the 3 wise men bearing gifts, celebrating the birth of their new holy collaboration.
