Jason Dill Throws Shade On THRASHER’S Jake Phelps? | “Do I get bummed when someone shows me a picture of Rihanna in a FA hoodie? Fuck no,… “
Remember when Jake Phelps – currently of THRASHER – was quoted as saying that Rihanna and Justin Bieber were fucking clowns and didn’t support them wearing Thrasher and would never send them a box. Or something like that. Seems Jason Dill has the opposite opinion and was maybe not pulling blackout blinders right down, but there does seem to be a subtle dig in this interview with Solo Skate Mag.
It’s a great interview too, no surprise, about Dill leaving Hollywood for Ventura and much more. The man cannot give a bad interview and FA Worldwide Entertainment is taking over the world and we couldn’t be more happy.
Sample:
And more and more people are wearing his stuff. No matter whether his niece tells him how many kids wear Fucking Awesome in high school or the kids of Nick Cave or Jarvis Cocker (for him, as an avowed fan, it’s twice the pleasure) ask their parents for his stuff – the brand he has kept tiny for years and only sold small quantities of in selected shops (for example, Supreme, about which he says, “Without Supreme I couldn’t do what I have done.Being with Supreme is like learning karate at the most respected dojo in the world. And then you go on making your own fucking dojo.”) has gotten big. Rappers request him to make their merch by now. Does he have problems with his rising popularity? “Do I get bummed when someone shows me a picture of fucking Rihanna in a FA hoodie? Fuck no, I fucking don’t. Do I like Rihanna? I don’t like her music and don’t know her as a person, but I get it. There’s a hundred people I could list. That fucking Sam Smith guy, that motherfucker wears FA. I’d look like a fucking fool if I’d say that people can’t wear that shit. I find a lot of that talk… Like Thrasher gear and what not, ‘Ey yo, you don’t skate, you’re not supposed to wear it bro!’ You have a baseball hat on and I haven’t seen you throw a curveball motherfucker. That’s crazy talk to me.” For someone who considers himself a product designer, it’s natural to want it to be consumed by people.
