Kanye West is at war with Adidas, where he most recently accused them of stealing his Yeezy designs

The “No Child Left Behind” rapper used his Instagram story to work out a deal with Adidas.

“Adidas I’m willing to give you guys a royalty,”

“Adidas I’m willing to give you 20% of sales, not ownership, as a non-exclusive manufacturing distribution partner,” Kanye added. 

Swizz Beatz Supports Kanye In Stance Against Adidas + Hints At Boycott

Kanye West made headlines after going on a public rant about his business deal with Adidas. He received support from different quarters, including from record producer Swizz Beatz.

It appears Kanye is at war with not only the mother of his child, Kim Kardashian. His rant on Instagram hinted at legal issues with Adidas and GAP.

Swizz Beatz, seeing the sportswear line’s latest sneaker design, hopped on Instagram to blast them for replicating Yeezy designs and hinted at a potential boycott.

“I usually mind my business but this is DEAD WRONG! If we let them do this to @kanyewest it will happen to us also! This man created this groundbreaking innovation and it should be respected as a creative ! YE is only asking for his work to be respected and not stolen that’s not crazy to me !! We not buying these !!!!!!!!!!!! @adidas you’re supposed to be original do the correct thing please !!!”

One fan commented:

 “Yo I thought these were @yeezy shoes that’s crazy.”

Another Instagram user that goes by @rdeborah191 said: 

“I’m not surprised folks are ripping off creatives and calling it competition.”

Kanye showed his appreciation for the support, reposting a photo of Swizz to his profile with the caption, 

“This the energy.”

The “Yeezus” rapper, who has an active deal with Adidas, has publicly expressed his disdain for the brand’s business handlings. 

He said the creative director, Alasdhair Willis, refused to meet with him to sort out the details of the deal. 

Ye went as far as changing his Instagram icon to a headshot of Willis taking a political stance against the brand.

Ye appears to be ready to go to war with Adidas, claiming, “Adidas don’t want no more smoke.” 

While he may have to “refrain from posting anything on Gap for another 10 days,” it looks like he’s just getting started with Adidas.
