Why he might be annoying:

    A lot of people forget he has a 'd' at the end of his name, so they call him 'Damon'.
    He made a cameo in 'Sharknado 2: The Second One.'
    He owns over 100 pairs of shoes.
    He was denied for bank loans 27 times while trying to get FUBU up and running.
    He charged up to $40,000 for public speaking engagements.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He worked tirelessly to establish FUBU, and earned the reputation of being a guerilla marketing genius.
    The earliest FUBU products came from a 'factory' he set up in his mother's house.
    He earned numerous awards, including the NAACP Award for Entrepreneur of the Year.
    He became a go-to brand strategist.
    He said he didn't want to promote companies that we're harmful to people, so, he wouldn't work for a tobacco company (for example).
