Following the airing of his ad, Kanye West took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a text message purportedly from his accountant, detailing the impressive sales figures. According to the message, West sold nearly 300,000 pairs of YZY pods, along with tens of thousands of shirts and pants, generating a total profit of $19.3 million.

Fans Stand Behind Kanye
In the comments section of West’s Instagram post, fans rallied behind the rapper, expressing admiration for his success and dismissing his detractors. Many fans took the opportunity to take a swipe at another prominent pop star, with one fan boldly proclaiming, “You own Taylor Swift.” Others marveled at West’s ability to defy cancel culture and praised his commitment to making his merchandise accessible to all.

The bigger news should be Kanye fulfilled his promise of making every item on his site $20 so that it’s available for everyone & not just those who have money. While everyone else is raising prices, he’s keeping his low & doing it independently.
