Kanye West Brags about Making $40 Million Amid Shopify Shutting Down His Yeezy Store
Despite facing a setback with Shopify shutting down his Yeezy store following backlash over his offensive remarks, Kanye West proudly declared he still raked in a whopping $40 million.
The popular e-commerce platform pulled the plug on West's site due to numerous complaints, especially regarding a controversial design featuring a $20 white T-shirt with a black s####### pattern.
However, the artist remained unfazed, confidently stating that the site shutdown had little impact on his finances, as he had already earned tens of millions before the shutdown.
In typical Kanye fashion, he boasted about his provocative statements, including antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic comments, while highlighting his impressive earnings amidst the controversy.
Although Shopify's actions may have seemed like a setback, West viewed it as a personal victory, expressing his disdain for the platform and even predicting such a move.
In response to the incident, Shopify's President addressed the decision to stop Kanye West's site, emphasizing the violation of authentic commerce practices that led to the action.
The impact of Kanye's controversial commercial during Super Bowl LVIX, featuring the contentious shirt, ultimately led to the store's closure as criticism intensified, prompting an end to sales of the controversial garment.
