Kanye West, in a new song, has accused Nike of treating employees like slaves. In the tune, "Facts," he denigrates the company's contract-for-life with LeBron James and then compares it with how Adidas treats ambassadors. “Nike treat employees like slaves. Gave LeBron a [a billion] not to run away,” he claimed. In 2013, West left Nike because he wanted more royalties for his Air Yeezy shoe. He only got $10 million for the shoe.
