Kanye's call for boycott of LV fails miserably. Fashion brand sells out

It seems like quite a number of people don't like Kanye and they spent their money to prove it. A few days after he called for a boycott of giant fashion brand Louis Vuitton, the exact opposite of what he was hoping for happened. Louis Vuittion sold out and a new record was even set for online sales.
After Kanye West told people to not buy any Louis Vuitton until after January the company took action and sent an e-mail to their best customers who responded in a huge way. The company says that sales surged this week and when final numbers came in that a new record was set for online sales and that customers responded to the attack by Kanye by coming to the brand for the first time and there were many small transactions by people who wanted to show their support for anything that is anti-Kanye." CDN reports
During that radio interview Kanye said "They think I don't realize my power." Guess he's not as influential as he thinks he is.

      Linda has got so much interest in kimye, huge fan to be precise. Linda if Ʊ want, deny it. ß̣̥u̶̲̥̅̊ђ that's what it ιƨ.coming to kanye, maybe the thing inbetween his legs ιƨ making him to feel arrogant. He thinks everyone ιƨ gonna throw palm fronts for him to walk on. Olodo! *cagey*

    boo hoo hoo. Sorry Kanye. You just went down several stories. With your anger levels I am seeing you committing suicide. Your excessively inflated sense of self worth is the nail in your coffin. Put sour grapes in your mouth so that you don't have to open it and spew the vermin that comes out each time. Buy a pressure ball so that you can compress it in your hand to prevent outbursts. Kim is not helping. She is a known prostitute. Stop talking about her ass. Many people have seen and tapped the ass so it is no longer news.

But we ain't laughing or buying either. And watch out for the adverse effect. Brand and coporate image is downgraded. Cheap sales strategy. We get it!!!

    I personally detest Kanye but believe me when I say this was LV's marketing/sales plan for the holiday. they understand people are not very fond of Kanye right now and will likely do the opposite of whatever he says. The anti-kanye plan was a calculated risk that paid off and you better believe Kanye was in on it too.

    All you kanye haters just got fooled in the biggest marketing heist in history,pure reverse psychology selling at its best,and u all fell for the gimmick.why would kanye say no one should buy LV,do u know he has a personal relationship with LV as well as a contract?one person's opinion can't sink a brand,we saw that when Jay-Z attacked Crystal Vodka,altho they were a racist company,that stunt only affected their stocks,ppl still buying crystal by the bucketloads..be wise and look deeply into situations.as for kanye and kim,altho kanye may look like he doesn't know what he's doing,the plan is playing out exactly the way they want..you hate to love kim/kanye so you love to hate them,negative marketing making positive sales..stop being fooled....on the personal front,any guy would be lucky to have kim,which of u boys don knack girl wey reach kim?which of u girls has her money,her style?don't u all want to be her?bitch asses complaining...so she made a sextape,the ones wey una dey act wey una no film nko...bloody hypocrites..na so nigeria go dey go down unless u open ur eyes and see the truth for what it is for one...

    The question is who bought those sale out? "Trendy folks" who feel LV is "old school" or "The Corporation" who're hell bent marginalizing black people. This is not an issue Nigerians can deliberate upon, cos we're just cheap imitates. We only watch MTV and buy what we see.
