- Kanye West had on Monday taken to his Instagram page to call out Adidas for selling a Yeezy design he never approved while exploiting his fans.
- In reaction to the post on his Instagram story, Davido offered him some piece of advice, urging him to work with Puma, the brand he has an ambassadorial deal with
Nigerian Afrobeat artist Davido recently shared some business advice for American rapper Kanye West after he publicly called out Adidas on social media.
Recall that the brand ended its partnership with the then-billionaire rapper in 2022 after he made a series of antisemitic comments. Despite parting ways with the superstar, Adidas has been selling off its leftover Yeezy inventory.
Kanye West took to Instagram on Monday to call out the firm for selling a Yeezy design he never approved and taking advantage of his devoted followers.
He stated that Adidas did not pay him any royalties for the sneakers they sold out last year and are still suing him for $250 million, despite producing fake Yeezys and selling them to his fans.
“Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys I never made these colorways I’m not getting paid off of them and Adidas is suing me. “All the new non-approved 350s are corny and everybody knows the 350 been corny.”
He shared a video on Instagram to explain his conflict with Adidas, saying:
“Not only are they putting out fake colorways that are non-approved, they’re suing me for $250 million and they’re also not paying me for these shoes that they’re putting out that have my name on it”.
