Kanye West has called out his former collaborative company, Adidas after the brand had released what he has called is “fake Yeezys”. Ye took to his Instagram to explicitly share his disdain over the brand’s action.
“Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys I never made these color ways I’m not getting paid off of them and adidas is suing me All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T shirt or the color of my hat but when yall see me have my children hidden from me or see an actual Fortune 500 company rape one of your heroes in real life don’t nobody say nothing or do nothing As far as the system goes What yall gone do now Take my album down again Freeze my accounts again Threaten people to not work with me again All the new non approved 350’s are cooorny” he wrote in the caption, posting a picture of the shoes in question.

He also posted a video where he addressed things further. “Not only are they putting out fake colorways, they’re suing me for $250 million dollars and they’re also not paying me for these shoes that they’re putting out that have my name on ’em and they’re using contract clauses and 50 years of business experience to rape an artist, one of y’all favorite artist right in front of y’all in broad daylight.”

He also took the time to thank those who are supporting him by saying, “Thank you everybody for supporting me on this fight with adidas Thank you Snoop and thank you to all my fans Your words are making a difference right now”
As of now, Adidas has not publicly responded to Ye.
