Kanye West says he rakes in more money from the sale of his Yeezy shoes than Michael Jordan does from Jordan Brand.
The bold statement was part of a storm of tweets the rapper/designer fired off Wednesday. He also called Yeezy the "second-fastest-growing company in history" and said the brand's success "could've never happened at Nike."
I am currently the single highest paid person in footwear. That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.
