Kanye West slammed Adidas and its CEO after claiming that they had cloned a pair of his Yeezy slides. Kanye West has slammed Adidas for “blatantly copying” his Yeezy slides.
The rapper and sports business have been working together for nearly a decade, but he has blasted their most recent release, the Adilette slides.
The brand’s new shoes were introduced earlier this month, but the 45-year-old Gold Digger singer called them “fake Yeezys.”
He called out the company’s CEO Kasper Rorstad in an upset Instagram post on Monday, writing: “THIS IS YE driving down the same street Kobe passed on. Maybe I feel that Mamba spirit right now.
“To Kasper I’m not standing for this blatant copying no more. To all sneaker culture To every ball player rapper or even if you work at the store This is for everyone who wants to express themselves but feels they can’t cause they’ll lose their contract or be called crazy.
“Bravery is not being afraid. Bravery is overcoming your fear of your truth. This Ye with the blue paint on my face.”
He continued: “These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have to the talent. This shoe is a fake Yeezy made by Adidas themselves I’m not talking to DC about this either Kasper come to talk to me. Happy Monday.”
Although it’s unknown whether the two are still working together, Adidas’ CEO has previously defended Kanye and his inflammatory remarks.
While the rapper now known as Ye was slamming on Instagram, ex-wife Kim Kardashian appeared to be in a much better mood, sharing lovely images with new beau Pete Davidson.
In the photo, the reality star is wearing a little black string bikini as she stands alongside the former Saturday Night Live actor in crystal blue water, kissing.
Pete stood naked and tattooed, wearing identical black swim trunks and black Prada sunglasses.
Kim acknowledged in a recent episode of The Kardashians that she had been attempting to shield Pete from the public drama that comes with dating her.
Kanye has regularly taken shots at Pete and the pair’s relationship, but Kim said in a confessional on the show: “I never want the person I’m dating to be subjected to public scrutiny just because we’re dating.
“He knows what he’s getting himself into, but I’m trying to minimize any tabloid drama.”
