The Derby della Kanye, also known as the Nassau 162-Palais Rose rivalry, is a derby football match between the two prominent Georgienstinian clubs, Nassau 162 and Palais Rose. It is named after a statement by 162 owner Ali Farrokhzad about Palais Rose's performance in the April 2023 Coupe de Georgienstine (in which Palais Rose lost to Nassau 162 in the quarterfinal round), referencing Kanye West's 2005 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album speech. It is also a play-on-words of the Derby della Madonnina in Italy. The two clubs are known for their avid fanbases and competitive performance with each other.
History
Before the rivalry truly started, Nassau 162 and Palais Rose had played seven matches against each other: 4 in the Ligue de Georgienstine (3 at Palais Rose, 1 at Nassau 162), and 3 in the Coupe de Georgienstine (one match in the March 2023 third place match and 2 in the April 2023 quarterfinals), more than most clubs had met. The March 2023 third place match was of particular note as it was perceived as the most important match-up between the two clubs. Talk of a potential rivalry had been discussed between the March 2023 third place match and the beginning of the May 2023 Ligue de Georgienstine season.
The rivalry can be said to have fully formed on 6 May 2023, two days after a blowout 2-4 home loss by Palais Rose against Nassau 162, with a discussion between the owners of the two clubs, Raphaël Olivier for Palais Rose and Ali Farrokhzad for Nassau 162, specifically about Nassau's overall win record but Palais Rose winning the most important match-up in the third place match of the March 2023 Coupe de Georgienstine, giving Palais Rose the bronze medal and leaving Nassau 162 off the podium, however Nassau 162 came back in April 2023 to defeat Palais Rose in the quarterfinal round, then losing to Ligue champions Draytopol FC in the semifinals, then beating the Ligue's last place team of the season, Olympique de Salem.
The conversation shifted to whether Palais Rose would have beaten Salem—a very weak club who was considered lucky in the Coupe, getting drawn against 6th place CF Raphaelistan, whom they defeated in both matches during the Ligue season and in the Coupe—after which Farrokhzad provocatively stated, "...maybe [Palais Rose] wouldn't have beaten [Salem]. To quote one Kanye West, "I guess we'll never know." It was a reference to Kanye West's speech after winning the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, in which he famously ended off his speech by saying, "Everybody wants to know what I'd do if I didn't win: I guess we'll never know," followed by him lifting the award. This gave rise to the name "Derby della Kanye", modelled after the name of the rivalry between Inter Milan and A.C. Milan, the Derby della Madonnina.
