This appears to contradict prior statements made by West which implied that adidas offering royalties, and the need to provide for his daughter, was the root of his decision.

Wex also shed some light as to why we didn't see anyone affiliated with Nike at the Yeezy Season 2 premiere. According to him, it was a threat from Nike.
