Part one and two of Kanye’s Drink Champ appearance has aired, and he’s talked about many different things.
From his marriage with Kim, his beef with Drake, his relationship with Jay Z, and how he and Larry Hoover Jr. are working to free Larry Hoover Sr.
One of the things he kind of let slip out was how Michael Jordan is still ghosting him after the line he had in his song Facts from 2015.
In the song, Kanye says, “Yeezy just jumped over the Jumpman,” and apparently, that didn’t really sit well with MJ. Kanye did apologize for it a year later, but he took it personally in true Michael Jordan fashion.
Earlier this month, Ye West appeared on Revolt TV’s Drink Champs where he talked about his music, fashion, and family. In a recently uploaded video, Ye West also talked with the show hosts N.O.R.E and DJ EFN about his business with the shoe giant Nike. His mention of his show range Yeezy was soon followed by his feud with Michael Jordan. The rapper revealed he is not on talking terms with Jordan as the former sportsperson would not meet with him. He said, “Jordan still won’t meet with me. I am trying to meet with Michael Jordan. I’m like, ‘It’s a song, man.’ Michael Jordan said this thing like, ‘Why y’all acting like Virgil (Abloh) made me hot? These shoes is hot.”
Back in 2015, Ye West released a song named Facts, whose lyrics made Jordan upset. The controversial line of the song read, “Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman.” The line suggested Kanye West’s Yeezy brand was more successful than that of Jordans’s. But, West never meant to slam MJ. His lyrics were directed towards Nike CEO Mark Parker. In 2016, Ye apologised to MJ and cleared the confusion. He tweeted, “I’m sorry Michel Jordan. I love and respect you. My beef was with Mark Parker. I respect you so much.”
Wonder if Jordan will ever forgive him.
