Adidas Drops Ye
After weeks of controversy from Ye, Adidas has finally dropped his Yeezy brand. The sports brand was facing controversy after they avoided mentioning his actions. Adidas and Ye share the shoewear and fashion label Yeezy. “Adidas does not tolerate anti-Semitism and any other sort of hate speech,” read the statement from Adidas. “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
In the last three weeks, the artist formerly known as Kanye West was expressing antisemitic comments across several podcasts, TV interviews, and on social media. He was subsequently banned from Instagram and Twitter following his remarks, which spurred other brands to drop him from their records. Last week, Balenciaga announced they would no longer collaborate with him on future collections, joining GAP and Vogue, who have also distanced themselves from the artist.
