Earlier this week, it was rumored that Kanye West would be parting ways with his new manager, Scooter Braun, just weeks after he parted with longtime manager Izvor “Izzy” Zivkovic. The rapper took to Twitter to confirm the rumors.
“I no longer have a manager. I can’t be managed,” West tweeted in a thread about his plans to grow the Yeezy brand. “I’m nobody’s client. Yes, I got rid of my last lawyer, why? Because he wouldn’t come to work full time. I also asked my last manager to come work full time for Yeezy. Of course, the last lawyer and manager said no. So now I hired a CEO and CFO. I have two full time lawyers as of now.”
The thread continued with West laying out his ambitious goals for Yeezy.
“We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year. It is the second fastest growing company in history. It is a unicorn on its way to becoming a decacorn. I am currently the single highest paid person in footwear. That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan,” West tweeted.
“There has been a lot of fake news, so I jut wanted to give you the facts. Yeezy will become the biggest apparel company in human history by working with the most genius level talents and creating product at an affordable price.”
