“Kanye West is trying to put his differences with Michael Jordan behind him!”: The Rap icon is trying to persuade the Bulls legend for a business venture

Kanye West is short of one Jordan to start another Billion Dollar venture already having roped in Marcus Jordan and DJ Khaled.

Michael Jordan is the most successful businessman in the sports world, and Kanye West is the richest musician in the world. Both have earned much of their earnings through sneakers deals with two of the biggest brands in the business.

While Jordan and his brand “Air Jordan” are Nike’s line of exclusive sneakers and other sporting goods, West’s “Yeezy” is one of Adidas’ biggest labels. He was known for his love of Air Jordans before 2013, then he started working with Nike’s rival for his sneakers line.

By 2015, when he formally declared his partnership, with his solo album “Facts” on which he infamously proclaimed “Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman.”

Jordan had nothing to say about the subject and has been killing Ye with his silence for years. West brought the feud back into the public eye last November during the second installment of his Drink Champs interview, claiming MJ was still upset over “Facts.”

West has publicly talked about his disappointment for his sour relationship with the NBA legend.

“Jordan still won’t meet with me,” West said. “I’m trying to meet with Michael Jordan, it’s like ‘Man, it’s a song, man.’”

But now he’s planning to persuade the 6-time NBA champ with the Bulls.
