Kanye West says he rakes in more money from the sale of his Yeezy shoes than Michael Jordan does from Jordan Brand.

The bold statement was part of a storm of tweets the rapper/designer fired off Wednesday. He also called Yeezy the "second-fastest-growing company in history" and said the brand's success "could've never happened at Nike."
