Kanye West er en excentrisk herre, andet kan man vist ikke rigtig sige. Og han er ikke nøjedes med at holde sig til musik igennem årene, men har ekspanderet sit imperium til også at inkludere de uhyre populære sneakers, Yeezy, sammen med Adidas, og også et spilprojekt der handler om at guide hans afdøde mor til himlen.
Men det er åbenbart ikke det eneste spil Kanye har haft i støbeskeen, for tidligere Nintendo of America-chef Reggie Fils-Aime har afsløret i et nyt podcast, at han måtte give Kanye pænt afslag, da han fik sat et møde op med Fils-Aime for at pitche ideen til et samarbejde imellem ham selv og Nintendo.
"Part of it was talking about what he was up to. He was experimenting with a piece of video game content; he wanted reactions to it. He comes out and says, 'I want to work with Nintendo.' We had so many different projects at Nintendo going on, the possibility of doing something with Kanye just wasn't there, and so I had to find a way to politely decline this opportunity to work with him. I told him, 'Kanye, you don't want to work with us because we're tough, we're hard. All we do is push for the very best content. We would not be the type of partner you would want to work with.' And he looks at me and says, 'Reggie, you're exactly the type of partner I want because of that reason!' It's like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
Det førnævnte spil om hans mor blev afsløret i 2015, men vi har ikke rigtig hørt noget til det siden.
