"Escorted out! By Skechers?"

@leadromthefront commented:

"When you think you walk on water but then reality hits and you find out you’re not YEsus after all. Good riddance @kanyewest"

@alaskaisbadluck commented:

"You gotta open your own factory now."

@zhassanhz commented:

"I wonder if all those companies will drop him if he made Islamophobic or anti-Arab statements. I have a feeling no one will care, or he will be rewarded handsomely for that. Anyway, his point of view is proven!"
