Did Sway Have The Answers? Here Are 5 Black Clothing Owners That Figured It Out Before Kanye

Almost a decade after the famous interview with Sway on Shade45, Kanye West has finally admitted that Sway may have been right the entire time.

** Here is the original clip of the argument from 2013 that broke the internet, in case you forgot **

On Thursday, Good Morning America’s Lisney Davie (@lisneytdavis) had an exclusive interview with Ye.They talked everything from his future in politics to his now bitter relationship with the Gap and Adidas.

Kanye is now planning to release his own product line direct to consumer and finally admitted Sway was right.

“I will go ahead and say, Sway had the answer,” Kanye conceded. “People are gonna be like, ‘No.'”

“It was all kind of a disregard for the voice of something that I co-created. I co-created the product at Adidas. I co-created the product at Gap,” Ye said. “That means that I was there for some specific agenda, not for Yeezy Gap to be everything that it could be, or this dream that I had about what the Gap could be. It’s time for me to make my own thing.”

But instead of getting on Kanye just like the Internet has been doing all day, we are going to give you some of our favorite clothing designers that figured  out that sometimes you have to do it on your own before Kanye West did.
