Kanye West Speaks On Making Gap History, Says: ‘We Sold 14 Million Dollars Worth Of The Perfect Black Hoodie’
American rapper and businessman, Kanye West has revealed the milestones he achieved through his partnership with major retailer, Gap despite the brand’s fledging issues.
Kanye West made the revelation via a post on his Instragram page and this comes days after it was announced that Gap’s CEO Sonia Syngal would be stepping down as reported by Yahoo Finance.
According to the outlet, “The retailer warned it expects sales for the second quarter to decline in the high-single digit percentage range. Operating margins are pegged to land somewhere between zero to slightly negative. This marks the second straight material warning from Gap this year.”
In his post on Instagram, West discussed a phone call with Gap chairman Bob Martin who he described as “one of the most inspiring people” in business.
West also spills why he wanted to initially work with Gap, revealing it was to “put good product directly in stores.”
“On my moms birthday I was able for the first time to sit on a Gap call with Bob Martin, Bob Fisher and other leads of the company. Bob Martin was one of the most inspiring people I’ve heard speak in business. He kept saying go to the stores on the call. I came to Gap to put good product directly in stores,” West wrote on Instagram.
