DJ Akademiks and Vlad engaged in a discussion about Kanye West's career and potential for future success. Vlad denied ever stating Kanye would never have a number-one song again after multiple controversies but said that Kanye would face difficulty partnering with corporations. Vlad also expressed doubt about Kanye's ability to produce a successful independent music career, though he conceded Kanye proved him wrong. Akademiks argued that Kanye, being fearless of cancel culture and cancellation itself, could prove resilient and bounce back from losing billionaire status or sneakers partnerships. The debate also shifted to the impact of Kanye's exit on Adidas, with Vlad asserting Adidas' legacy would keep the brand afloat despite any temporary cultural effects, while Akademiks contended that Kanye's departure could significantly impact Adidas' reputation and profits in the short term.
