Adidas cut ties with Kanye West in 2022 after the rapper's repeated anti-Semitic remarks.
In 2016, when Adidas and Kanye were negotiating an extension in their partnership for his brand Yeezy, they added in the morals cause in anticipation of the rapper's history with controversy, citing any actions or words that could bring 'disrepute, contempt, scandal to him or Adidas'. Ye's been gunning for the brand ever since he was let go.
Often ranting about the German sports company, the controversial Carnival rapper opened up further about his relationship with the brand. Adidas filed a lawsuit against Kanye attempting to freeze $75 million of Yeezy funds after going their separate ways.

It comes after Kanye once again hit back at Adidas during their ongoing legal dispute. In March, he posted a new video slamming the athletic wear company, claiming they tried to "destroy him." He said: "Now, we got the number one song in the world and you out here when I was there you was stealing my ideas and putting them in your company. Then you dismantle my creative team and then you started making fake color ways."

He also accused the corporation of 'paying off his lawyers' while he was still working with them. Kanye also brought up that Adidas dropped him, citing their morality clause in their contract. However, he said that when they dropped him for the issue, they were stealing his designs. Afterwards, she claimed that the Adidas CEO approached him to say they "were just gonna burn the product, saying that directly to my face."
After advertisements for new Yeezys from Adidas began to circulate, Kanye said he had nothing to do with them. He said he did not approve the new colors and claimed he won't be making money off of the shoe. In a previous post, he wrote: "There is an overlap to Adidas and Kim ignoring my opinion on where my kids go to school or people ignoring my name change or the entire celebrity culture ostracizing me for my political opinion It all comes down to human rights which you sacrifice when you're stigmatized with mental issues. All these situations are actually far crazier than what I've been branded to be."
