After minting millions from his deal with Adidas since 2013, Kanye West had scored another lucrative deal with GAP in March 2021.

You have to share your email, phone #, top, pants, and shoe size, at which point you will be placed in a "waiting room" for about five minutes before being permitted to buy a blue puffer for $200.  Genius.”
