The Shop Shelves Kanye West Episode

Now he thinks Adidas froze his money and wants the FCC to look into it, and that’s why he’s running for President. 

Quote

As part of his candidacy for President, Kanye West is demanding that the FCC needs to investigate his bank after Adidas allegedly "froze his money," and disabled his Apple Pay. 

According to West, after Adidas cut off business with him, they managed to freeze his money by petitioning JP Morgan Chase to do so. After finding that his Apple Pay didn't work, repeatedly, he said he looked into why.

Reportedly, Adidas put a $75 million hold on four of his bank accounts. This, in turn, likely caused Apple Pay to not work because of a lack of funds.

Even if his claims are true about Adidas clawing back money from the bank, it's not clear who exactly West is referring to in his bid for the Presidency. While West claims that he wants the FCC — the Federal Communications Commission — to look into the matter, they can't help.

Probably meant the FTC but they don’t do bank oversight either.  The OCC - Office of the Comptroller of the Currency - does that.

West did an interview with right wing social media figure Tim Pool. It lasted about 20 minutes and West walked out. 

Quote

During that 20-minute stretch, West offered a sprawling, aggrieved commentary railing against those he believes had harmed him, including but not limited to: a designer at Adidas who Ye is convinced was a CIA and somehow also a “Zionist” plant; Jamie Dimon; Hollywood executives; the Gap; his former trainer and also, in Ye’s mind a Canadian deep-state agent; and, of course, the fictional Jewish cabal in charge of both banking and media. “It was like American History X, like my head was on the side of the curb, and the exact people that I called out kick my head,” said Ye. The rapper also appeared to back Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who similarly posted antisemitic material, and talked about the true “bloodlines” of Black people.

During a brief pause in his near-monologue, Pool told Ye, “I think they’ve been extremely unfair to you.” When asked by Ye to clarify who he meant by “they,” Pool replied: “The corporate press.” That didn’t satisfy Ye. “Who is ‘they,’ though?” he shot back. As Pool stammered, one of the evening’s other guests chimed in: Nick Fuentes, the 23-year-old white nationalist and Holocaust denier, who had taken on an undefined role in Ye’s largely theoretical 2024 presidential campaign. “It is them, though, isn’t it?” Fuentes said, again referring to Jewish people.

Evidently, because Pool refused to play into one of the oldest antisemitic tropes around, Ye considered it a bridge too far. Before Pool could get another word in edgewise, West rose from out of his chair and silently marched out of the studio.

Fuentes left as well, as did the evening’s third guest, Milo Yiannopoulos, the far-right troll and former Breitbart tech editor who was drummed out of the conservative movement in 2016 for his seemingly blithe attitude towards relations between adult males and minors.

Like fuck face West surrounds himself with the finest people.

He needs an intervention and long stay at an institution.

A law firm is bitching now because it can't contact Kanye to tell him they're done representing him.

Quote

Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, has avoided being served with notice that his legal team dropped him after the rapper became engulfed in controversy, his former attorney wrote to a federal judge on Friday.

Greenberg Traurig (GT) represented Ye in a copyright lawsuit initiated in June, but the firm withdrew as counsel in November, citing the rapper’s repeated antisemitic comments.

The firm on Friday told U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres that it “expended significant” efforts to serve Ye with the withdrawal order without success, asking Torres to allow the firm to instead serve Ye by publishing advertisements in two Los Angeles area newspapers and mailing the document to two of his possible addresses.

The firm asserted that it is impracticable to serve Ye through traditional means, so the alternative methods are a “belt-and-suspenders” effort necessary to serve him, in addition to an extension of the deadline.

I'd tell Greenberg Traurig bed.  Made.  Lie.  And if they get up with fleas that's their fucking problem.

Well that law firm finally found him

Quote

Kanye West's former lawyers have finally found him.

After months of searching, attorneys at Greenberg Traurig LLP, the firm that represented West for everything from contract disputes to employment lawsuits, tracked Ye down and told him they quit.

The rapper, who changed his name to Ye in 2021, had fled his other residences and his business addresses. He was found at a location "primarily used by persons and entities not affiliated with Ye or his businesses," according to lawyers for Greenberg Traurig.

"The address at which Ye was personally served is not one that is publicly affiliated with Ye or his businesses, but one that Ye nonetheless frequents," a Greenberg Traurig wrote in a court filing.
