Cassper Nyovest On Why He Compares His RF990s To Yeezys

Ever wondered why Cassper Nyovest compares his RF990s to Kanye West’s YEEZYS? Well, now you have an explanation and from the rapper himself.

In recent tweets, the “Amademoni” hitmaker had noted that when Kanye West released his YEEZY brand, some members of the public had criticized it as ugly and continue to criticize it, the same fate Cassper’s brand is facing.

Also, according to him, the criticisms notwithstanding, YEEZYS continue to sell out, just as his sneakers brand right now. There’s no doubt Cassper’s sneakers adventure was inspired by the American rapper. Cass looks up to Ye in many areas.
