The rapper was long linked to the device maker over a lucrative contract, but their commercial agreement ended in 2022 after Kanye West made anti-Semitic comments on Twitter/X. Now the star claims the sporting goods giant is suing her and selling unauthorized versions of the YZY shoe line they worked on together.
“Let me explain to you very clearly what is happening with Adidas,” he said in an Instagram video. Not only are they releasing colors that are not approved, but they are also suing me for $250 million. »
Kanye West continued, denouncing a violation of his artistic rights and calling on his fans as witnesses: “They are not paying me for these shoes that they have for sale that have my name on them.” They are using contractual clauses and 50 years of professional experience , to rape an artist, one of your favorite artists, right in front of you in broad daylight. »
In another Instagram post, the Vulture rapper shared a screenshot of the shoes on Adidas' website. “If you like Ye, don’t buy these fake Yeezys. “I never created these color combinations, I don’t get paid for them and Adidas is suing me,” he wrote.
“What are you going to do with this system now?” Take my album down again? Suspend my accounts again? Threaten people not to work with me anymore? he asked Adidas.
“All unauthorized new 350s are zero,” explains the man who presented his new album “Vultures 1” with anti-Semitic lyrics at the AccorArena on February 25th.
