He claimed that he originally invented the design and brought it to luxury fashion house Fendi years before it became a popular trend.

He said: 'Whether I'm at a dinner with Anna Wintour, [editor-in-chief of US Vogue magazine] or a listening party with Pusha-T or in Rome with Virgil [Abloh, West's creative director], giving Fendi our designs and getting them knocked down ...

'[We] brought the leather jogging pants six years ago to Fendi, and they said no.How many motherf***ers you done seen with a leather jogging pant?'
