Adidas Announces Kanye West Partnership Is ‘Under Review’ Following Public Drama

The controversy surrounding Kanye West continues.

Kanye West recently gave an interview for an episode of The Shop – a talk show hosted by LeBron James and his business partner, Maverick Carter – however in the wake of the rapper’s recent controversies, that interview has been scrapped.In a statement shared with Andscape, Carter explained that West’s episode was shot very recently – the statement itself notes that it was taped “yesterday”, and the article was published on Tuesday (October 11), but it’s not clear exactly when the statement was given – with the rapper’s appearance on the show having been locked in several weeks earlier.“After talking to Kanye directly the day before we taped,” Carter said, “I believed he was capable of a respectful discussion and he was ready to address all his recent comments. Unfortunately, he used The Shop to reiterate more hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes.”As a result, West’s episode of The Shop was scrapped entirely, and no content from his interview will be made public. Carter went on to assure fans that while his show “embraces thoughtful discourse and differing opinions”, it and its team “have zero tolerance for hate speech of any kind and will never allow our channels to be used to promote hate”.In closing, he continued: “I take full responsibility for believing Kanye wanted a different conversation and apologize to our guests and crew. Hate speech should never have an audience.”In addition to West, the scrapped episode of The Shop was due to feature Jeezy – with whom West collaborated on the 2008 track ‘Put On’ – and shoe designer Salehe Bembury.

Lizzo is not letting herself get involved in anyone’s drama. The successful singer seemingly responded to Kanye West’s claims, explaining that she is minding her business and wants nothing to do with his controversial rants.The musician shared her thoughts with the crowd during her recent concert in Toronto, revealing how she feels about being named by Kanye, as the rapper was talking about her weight publicly.“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots… on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight, because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal,” he said.

Lizzo has appeared to respond to Kanye West‘s recent comments about her weight. “I’m minding my fat Black business,” she said at a gig this weekend.In a recent interview on Fox News, Kanye said that what he believed was the promotion of obesity by social media companies was “demonic”.“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots … on Instagram, they attack her losing weight, because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy,” he told host Tucker Carlson.At her Toronto show on Friday (October 7), Lizzo appeared to clap back against the comments, telling the crowd: “I feel like everybody in America got my motherfucking name in their motherfucking mouth for no motherfucking reason.“I’m minding my fat Black beautiful business,” she added.Elsewhere in the Fox News interview, Kanye defended his choice of attire at this year’s Paris Fashion Week – a shirt emblazoned with the controversial slogan “White Lives Matter”, which has it roots in white supremacist movements.

Lizzo won’t stand for any more unsolicited fatphobia from Kanye West — or anyone else, for that matter!

Kanye “Ye” West is being restricted on yet another social media platform.

Adidas has confirmed that it is reviewing its business partnership with Kanye West, who has been busy of late dissing the sportswear brand with which he has had a pretty long alliance.“Adidas has always been about creativity, innovation, and supporting athletes and artists to achieve their vision”, the firm said in a statement yesterday. “The Adidas Yeezy partnership is one of the most successful collaborations in our industry’s history”.“We are proud of our team that has worked tirelessly throughout our collaboration with [West] and the iconic products that were born from it”, it went on. “We also recognise that all successful partnerships are rooted in mutual respect and shared values”.“After repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation”, the statement concluded, “we have taken the decision to place the partnership under review.

Kanye West's decision to wear a 'White Lives Matter' t-shirt stemmed from a "connection with God". The 45-year-old rapper has been widely slammed for his controversial fashion choice at his Yeezy presentation during Paris Fashion Week earlier this week but he insisted it "just felt right" to don the garment. Speaking on Fox News' 'Tucker Carlson Tonight', he said: "I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy.

Kanye West‘s tumultuous partnership with Adidas is reportedly “under review” according to new reports.West partnered with Adidas under the Yeezy banner in late 2013, with their first collection debuting in 2015. Under the terms of West’s contract with Adidas, the rapper retains full ownership of the Yeezy brand, and has complete creative control over the products released through the brand.Over the past year though, Kanye has accused Adidas of a number of wrongs, including allegedly creating Yeezy Day, the annual day in which the brand releases some of its most anticipated Yeezy sneaker drops, without his personal approval.

Whoa! There’s at least one person who wasn’t completely offended by Kanye West’s decision to wear a “White Lives Matter” shirt this week — and it’s a surprising one.
