Kanye West has a strong foothold in fashion and music, but he almost had another one in play – specifically with Nintendo.
The former Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, revealed in a podcast that he met with West and Kim Kardashian-West a few years ago to discuss the possibility of a partnership. It started when the YEEZY founder apparently spoke to Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto at the company’s E3 booth, and this led to a formal meeting with Fils-Aime.
Unfortunately, Nintendo had too many ongoing projects at the time and the collaboration had to be turned down. ” Part of it talked about what he wanted to do. He is experimenting with a piece of video game content; he wanted reactions to it. He comes out and says, “I want to work with Nintendo,” Fils-Aime said, not specifying what “content” Ye was working on.
Fils-Aime continues: ‘We had so many different projects going on at Nintendo, the possibility of doing something with Kanye was just not there, and so I had to find a way to take this opportunity to work with him politely. to refuse. I told him, ‘Kanye, you do not want to work with us because we are difficult, we are difficult. All we do is strive for the best content. We are not the kind of partner you want to work with. “And he looks at me and says, ‘Reggie, that’s why you’re exactly the type of partner I want!’ It’s like, ‘Oh woe.’ ‘
