Kanye West came to the Motor City to talk to Dan Gilbert about sneakers and StockX, Gilbert's Detroit-based company.
Melody Baetens wites at The Detroit News:
Ye, as he goes by now, posted a video Tuesday afternoon of him with Gilbert from what looks like the StockX offices at 1 Campus Martius in Detroit. The video shows Gilbert and employees explaining the StockX app to West on a giant iPhone.
They used the sneaker-trading app to show West his new Yeezy shoe ($235) and start to explain how the platform works when the video cuts off.
Later Tuesday, West tweeted a brief video captioned "Bedrock Detroit" that appeared to show a three-dimensional model of the Motor City.
Lee DeVito of Metro Times offered a little different spin on the visit:
Fresh off the heels of his pro-Trump SNL rant, Kanye West touched down in Detroit Tuesday to guzzle the Kool-Aid of another rich white guy with too much power — Dan Gilbert.
Yes, rapper-producer Kanye West showed up in DETROIT, MICHIGAN and apparently beelined for the high-rise offices of Gilbert's various companies, where he went on to chill for hours, tweeting out Gilbert propaganda and getting embarrassingly hype over a large "iPhone" displaying a pair of below-market-value Yeezys.
