Marcus Jordan has laughed off Kanye West’s new track ‘Facts’, which mocks his father – US basketball legend Michael Jordan.
West stormed into 2016 in style after dropping the brand-new song on New Year’s Day. The Adidas-associated rapper, who has released numerous clothing and footwear ranges alongside the ‘three-stripes’ sportswear brand, takes a shot at rivals Nike – stating "Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman." Jumpman is Michael Jordan’s hugely popular merchandise line with Nike.
The track which samples Future and Drake’s ‘Jumpman’ also sees West accuse Nike of treating their employees like slaves.
Check out 'Facts' below:
Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, quickly responded to the verse on Twitter – merely laughing off the ‘All Day’ rapper’s taunts. He then summed up his feelings with a GIF of his NBA superstar father chuckling.

‘Facts’ is thought to be the third official release from Yeezy’s long-awaited new record Swish. Though fans have been waiting for what seems a lifetime for West’s seventh album, the rapper recently took to Twitter asking fans to 'leave him alone' so he could get the record finished.
