AceShowbiz - Zappos.com officially declares a war of words to Kanye West with their response to the rapper's complaints about them. The online retailer posted a photo of a toilet and its plunger and used references to some of West's music.
The story began when West slammed the CEO of the shoe retailer on novelist Bret Easton Ellis' podcast on Monday, November 18. "I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he's trying to tell me what I need to focus on," the 36-year-old said. "Meanwhile, he sells all this s**t product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling s**t product."
Responding to West's statement, the company's CEO Tony Hsieh posted a Zappos ad titled "S**t" featuring a toilet and plunger for a mere $100,000. With it comes the line "This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you're #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris" in reference to West's lyrics. The description also included a link to an article quoting West.
The "Bound 2" rapper has not given a comment.
