Zappos has proven that it can take on some of the world's biggest music stars, with the biggest egos around. Kanye West took aim at Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh in a podcast interview with author Bret Easton Ellis.
They got to the subject of fashion and West relayed a story about an encounter with Hsieh:
"I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he's trying to tell me what I need to focus on. Meanwhile, he sells all this sh*t product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling sh*t product," West said in the interview.
Zappos' response? They tweeted a link to a page on their site that included a picture of the types of "sh*t product" that Zappos offers.
