Kanye Westkeeps his kids in mind when it comes to his business decisions.
Speaking in the caption of a photo where the Yeezy founder hugs his four children — sonsPsalm, 3, andSaint, 6 and daughtersChicago, 4, andNorth, 9 — West explains that the legacy he leaves his kids inspires his professional decisions.
“Some things are bigger than money,” he wrote. “My kids have no idea what daddy has gone through this past few days alone to secure the brand that will one day be handed down to them, God Willing.”
“These future leaders will never back down, be stolen from, and forced to compromise who they are for the check,” he concluded.
West shares his four children with ex-wifeKim Kardashian.

West has also lodged social media attacks at Adidas SVP Daniel Cherry III and other members of JP Morgan & Chase’s and Adidas' executive boards, according toHighsnobiety.
Amid West’s feud with Adidas, some of his famous friends — includingT.I.,Swizz BeatzandDiddy— have rallied around him to show support and even boycott the athletic brand. In particular, West is getting support from other Black celebrities who are particularly calling out the brand for using West to further its own agenda rather than give credit where credit is due.
Adidas has not publicly acknowledged the feud with West. However, West posted on social media this week that Adidas “don’t want no more smoke.” In the now-gonepost, West promises that Gap, whom he also has a collaboration with, is next on his list.

Earlier this summer, Kardashian showed that at least one of their children is definitely interested in the family business of fashion when she shared her eldest daughter’s Yeezy design sketches in a series of photos posted to her Instagram Story.
In one photo, North can be seen holding up one of her sketches done on a piece of blue paper, complete with sunglasses and what appeared to be a braid sticking out of the figure’s mouth.
