Kanye West and his mouth have had no problem finding drama of late ever, with the rapper evoking the ire of online shoe giant Zappos.com, who have responded to his claim that they sell a “shit product” by listing a $100,000 toilet plunger for sale on their site.
Yeezy made the original comment on author Bret Easton Ellis‘s podcast:
“I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos.com that he’s trying to tell me what I need to focus on. Meanwhile, he sells all this shit product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling shit product.”
Instead of getting mad, Zappos decided to just speak Yeezy’s language, putting a literal shit product up for sale. The description reads “Interested in buying shit product? You’ve come to the right place! Here at Zappos.com, we happily sell sh-t products to everybody! This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you’re #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris.”
The plunger retails for $100,000, but it does come with free shipping. It’s touted as being “the perfect gift for the man that has everything”, but buyer beware – it “requires lots of “focus” for most productive use.”
K.Wizzle is yet to respond. While we’re waiting, we’re just gonna go and watch his terribly wonderful video for Bound 2 for the 73rd time. The jiggling of Kim Kardshian‘s assets is very soothing.
