I haven’t been to Harvard Business School, so I can only assume there is not a course that encourages future execs to bust out a porn video at a board meeting. 

Kanye West didn’t go to biz school either, but he’s a billionaire, so I’m hot sure you can question anything he does because it usually works. However, playing porn for shocked Adidas execs during a meeting was quite the icebreaker. 

West was meeting with five Adidas guys, and footage from the meeting showed West holding his phone horizontally for a colleague to watch. According to Page Six, one of the men asked West, “Is this a porn movie?”

“Yeah,” Kanye replied. 

“Jesus Christ,” was the next thing heard from a shocked participant. 

Despite the shoe execs feeling freaked out, West kept showing them the film until one moved his arm and the phone away from his sight. 

West did this because he felt the plot of the porno was a metaphor for the business dealings between West and Adidas, who manufacture and distribute his Yeezy brand of shoes and clothes. 

Here’s more of Kanye’s dialogue, according to Page Six. 

“You guys have done wrong by the company, by the business, and by the partnership. The whole concept of this video is that the guy had cheated, so then the girl was like, ‘Well then I’m going to do the thing that’s your worst nightmare.

“This is your worst nightmare. Your worst nightmare is not me hitting you. Your worst nightmare is not me playing the porn. Your worst nightmare is not me screaming. We’ve done all his.”

The rest of it is odd and boring, but the gist is that West wants a different person as CEO of Adidas, and he believes Adidas stole ideas from him, which made him very angry. 

Side note; another story today says many of Kanye’s friends believe he is going through a mental health episode now and are concerned. 

This story and the accompanying video will not reassure those friends.
