According to The Economic Times, the commercial resulted in $19 million in sales for Yeezy.
Following the Super Bowl, TMZ stopped West at LAX to chat about his continued success despite the controversy surrounding him. When asked if he wanted to take back some of his antisemitic remarks, West fired back, “Black people can’t be antisemitic. We are Jew. You understand what I’m saying? We are Jew.”
“Until you do your facts, until you really do the facts of the fake indoctrination that y’all put into the schools and all that—you know what I’m saying? We’re not following y’all rules,” West continued. “For all the kids that love me, all the Jewish kids that love me, I’m sorry if y’all had to hear a grown-up conversation with us screaming at each other. But we got to a point where something needed to happen. Something needed to be said.”
West went on to address his mental health. While he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, West has claimed that he has autism resulting from severe injuries he sustained in a 2002 car accident.
“How many more time they gonna call me crazy? How many more times they gonna give me fake medication that makes me fat off of a misdiagnosis when I really have slight signs of autism from the car accident?” West went on to say. “You say, ‘Whatever, just give him that bipolar medication.’ Y’all try to kill the superheroes. But we here. We alive.”
