After professing his love for “Chicken Fried Rice” last week, Jim Jones is now wondering why he isn’t receiving any residuals from Supreme. Back in 2006, the iconic skate brand reportedly offered Jim Jones and Juelz Santana $14K USD for a photoshoot that eventually produced one of the brand’s most infamous, now highly-sought after shirts ever. When talking to Complex about the collaboration in 2016, Jones felt he helped Supreme reach the pinnacle of their success with that T-shirt and although no long-time deal was ever worked out, he felt they should’ve paid more homage.

“We might’ve had the hottest T-Shirt they ever did, but they ain’t paying homage. The way I take is that it was a business deal. It was great for the moment but I ain’t get no residuals off of it. You know what I mean? They ain’t paying me no money off of each shirt that they sold, so it is what it is.”

Now 12 years later, Supreme has grown to become a billion-dollar company and now the “Once Upon a Time” rapper wants a piece of it. This weekend, Jones shared an image of Juelz Santana and himself taken from the 2006 Supreme photoshoot with a message underneath captioning, “They owe us piece of th[e] company rappers n my black people had no idea wht supreme was we didn’t even know wht they was they had tht bag and they new who dipset was lol #CultureCreators #TheSet #TBt.”
Karl Lagerfeld Numero Magazine Interview april 2018 issue magazine fendi chanel Azzedine Alaia pierre berge virgil abloh louis vuitton
Karl Lagerfeld is infamous for speaking his mind, and holds nothing back for a new interview with Numéro Magazine. The digressive chat covers everything from Lagerfeld’s eventual funeral to his new facial hair.

Kicking things off with a bang, Lagerfeld casts shade on the recently-deceased Pierre Bergé and Azzedine Alaïa, noting that “last year I lost my two best enemies” with near-mirth. The designer expounds that “all the other designers hate me” because he doesn’t complain about overwork, thriving with the responsibility of designing for three different brands — Chanel, Fendi and his eponymous label. Lagerfeld thrills to design womenswear, as men’s fashion “does little for me,” as well as “having to put up with all those stupid [male] models.”

Onto other hot topics, Lagerfeld notes that “What shocks me most [about #metoo] are the starlets who have taken 20 years to remember what happened. Not to mention the fact there are no prosecution witnesses.” He explains: “I read somewhere that now you must ask a model if she is comfortable with posing. Its simply too much, from now on, as a designer, you can’t do anything.” Later, when asked to rank Simon Porte Jacquemus, Virgil Abloh and Jonathan Anderson, the designer goes off on a tangent, complimenting Marine Serre for her “will of steel” and positively noting Jacquemus’s personality. However, when asked to choose from those three male designers as a desert island companion, Lagerfeld’s answer is simple: “I’d kill myself first.”

Read the entire interview on Numéro’s website. Most recently, the designer opened a new Karl Lagerfeld store in New York City.
