Adidas has indicated that it will still release products it has designed as part of its alliance with Kanye West and his Yeezy fashion brand, but without any Yeezy branding, obviously.The rapper’s long-running partnership with the sportswear brand was already falling apart before West began his recent splurge of controversial bullshit.Once that splurge was underway, Adidas said in a statement: “The company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies”.As it issued that statement last month, the sports company also noted that it is “the sole owner of all design rights to existing products as well as previous and new colourways under the partnership”.That was reiterated by the firm’s Chief Financial Officer Harm Ohlmeyer during an investor call yesterday. And, according to Business Insider, the CFO added “we intend to make use of these rights as early as 2023”.Ohlmeyer was reluctant to provide any more information on what that meant, although was asked whether the firm had considered the potential reputation risk of releasing these products without West’s involvement, and any angry ranting from the rapper that might instigate.
The CFO responded: “We are working through all the options. When the time is right we will be more specific”.So, nice and vague then.
Kim Kardashian is sickened by the latest allegations against Kanye West!
Adidas is opening an investigation into allegations that the brand purposefully ignored misconduct claims made against former collaborator Kanye West.
Adidas has confirmed that it will launch an investigation into allegations of misconduct that have been made against Kanye West by people who worked on the rapper’s long-running Yeezy joint venture with the sportswear brand.That joint venture was cancelled recently when West’s flurry of controversial interviews and statements made the alliance untenable, but – former employees say – Adidas bosses were previously willing to turn a blind eye to their superstar business partner’s bad behaviour.Those former employees have expressed their grievances in a letter to Adidas bosses which has been seen by Rolling Stone.In it they say that Adidas staff members who came into contact with West via the Yeezy JV had to deal with “years of verbal abuse, vulgar tirades and bullying attacks”, but management – although aware of this behaviour – “turned their moral compass off” and ignored that conduct, because, you know, that’s just “Kanye being Kanye”.Rolling Stone reports: “Behind the scenes, [West] did more than test the boundaries of professionalism. Former Yeezy and Adidas staffers and creative collaborators claim that he played pornography to Yeezy staff in meetings; discussed porn and showed an intimate photograph of Kim Kardashian in job interviews; and showed an explicit video and photos of Kardashian as well as his own sex tapes to Yeezy team members”.Meanwhile, the letter from the former employees states: “[West] has, in years past, exploded at women in the room with offensive remarks, and would resort to sexually disturbing references when providing design feedback.
It looks like Kanye West is trying to offload a lot of his old merchandise… and maybe raise some money? While, intentionally or not, decreasing the value of the brands who’ve burned him??
Kim Kardashian loves her Adidas. The TV personality showed off a look from the sportswear brand’s new collaboration with Balenciaga.
Kanye West, what the f**k??
Former Yeezy employees wrote an open letter to Adidas accusing Kanye West of mistreatment as the rapper continues to spark controversy.
Dave Chappelle certainly didn’t pull any punches, as usual, with his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live.
Several Yeezy employees are calling out Kanye West for his allegedly toxic workplace environment!
Kanye West is at it again.
Adidas is moving forward with selling Yeezy product designs — just not under Kanye West‘s brand name.
Sending a message? Fans believe Harry Styles took a stand against Adidas prior to the sportswear giant cutting ties with Kanye West following the rapper’s anti-Semitic remarks.
As expected, Adidas yesterday formally cut its ties with Kanye West, announcing it was ending production of all the Yeezy branded products it has made via its partnership with the rapper.West’s relationships with some of his business partners in the fashion domain were already deteriorating before his recent spate of controversial and anti-semitic statements.Adidas, which has been working with West since 2013 – with the first trainers under the Adidas Yeezy brand being launched in 2015 – announced it was reviewing its long-standing partnership with the rapper earlier this month.The sportswear firm’s current deal with West was reportedly due to run through to 2026, but yesterday it confirmed it was terminating the partnership with immediate effect. This follows West’s recent claim in a controversial Drink Champs interview that “I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can’t drop me”.“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech”, the company said in a statement.
