On Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2018, Kanye West commemorated what would have been his mother's 73rd birthday by doing something special for the first time since getting back on Instagram — he revealed a photo. In this particular photo, West was seen speaking to Bob Martin, who is the interim CEO of clothing company Gap Inc. Ye shared the snap with the caption "good convo," and it seemed like he was in awe of all of the business insights Martin offered about staying creative and being innovative as a clothing brand in today's competitive market.
The "Heartless" rapper also discussed the partnership struck with the back in June 2020 and the results.
I came to Gap to put good product directly in stores," he said. "We’ve had 2 of the biggest sales day in Gap history since I’ve been there. We sold 14 million dollars worth of the perfect black hoodie at 80 dollars a hoodie off of a television commercial that was ran one time. I came to Gap to bring good quality products to the people at all times. Bob I need to meet with you as soon as possible
For what it's worth, Bloomberg on Monday reported that Gap Inc. fired Sonia Syngal after nearly three years as its chief executive officer. In that same report, the outlet reported that a deal to produce Kanye's Yeezy brand "failed to generate meaningful results." Bloomberg reported that, after announcing the project with fanfare, executives at the clothing retailer have mostly been quiet on the issue.
Back in March, Instagram's parent company, Meta, suspended Kanye from the social media platform after the company deemed he "violated its policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying."
The suspension came after the rapper's attacks on his ex, wife and her boyfriend, Pete Davison, D.L. Hughley and a racial slur-filled rant again The Daily Show's @Trevoh Noah
