Tag, you're it.
During his podcast "Talking Games with Reggie & Harold", the former Nintendo of America president said he met Kanye West a long time ago at E3.
Accompanied by Kim Kardashian-West, the artist came to the Nintendo booth and, after meeting Shigeru Miyamoto, requested an interview with Reggie Fils-Aime, who agreed. During this interview, Kanye West presented a prototype indicating that he wanted to work with Nintendo.
Unfortunately for Kanye West, Nintendo was forced to refuse, Reggie Fils-Aimé declaring to have "politely refused", while specifying that he had really felt the passion that Kanye West had for video games at the time.
"Part of [the meeting] was talking about what he was up to. He was experimenting with a piece of video game content; he wanted reactions to it. He comes out and says, 'I want to work with Nintendo,'" Fils-Aime recalled. "
We had so many different projects at Nintendo going on, the possibility of doing something with Kanye just wasn't there, and so I had to find a way to politely decline this opportunity to work with him."
I told him, "Kayne, you don't want to work with us. We're demanding, we're tough. We only want the best of the best. We're not the kind of working relationship you want to cultivate."
At that point he looked at me and said "Reggie, this is exactly the kind of thing I want in my life!" and there I was like "Oh my gosh."
