Kanye West<\/a> is going solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist & creative, who goes by Ye these days, will be distancing himself and his brand from corporate entities, such as adidas<\/a> and Gap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Bloomberg<\/a><\/em>, Ye states that he will be taking matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time for me to go it alone. It\u2019s fine. I made the companies money. The companies made me money. We created ideas that will change apparel forever. Like the round jacket, the Foam Runner, the Slides that have changed the shoe industry. <\/p>

Now it\u2019s time for Ye to make the new industry. No more companies standing in between me and the audience.<\/p>Ye via Bloomberg<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ye\u2019s exit doesn\u2019t come as a surprise following his litany of complaints via Instagram directed at adidas execs, its current CEO<\/a>, and others. From the design of the adidas FOM Q<\/a> which Ye claims rips from the Yeezy Foam <\/a>Runner to the disapproval of Yeezy Day and other colorways.<\/p>\n\n\n
