Kanye West says new Adidas release of Yeezys are ‘fake’

Kanye West has slammed Adidas for releasing new ‘fake’ Yeezys without his consent.

This is coming more than a year after the brand cut ties with the rapper over his anti-Semitic outbursts.

West, 46, has accused Adidas of ‘trying to ra.pe your favorite artist’ after the brand announced it would begin a ‘further release of YEEZY inventory’ using their remaining stock, including products from 2022.

The musician claimed the sneakers labeled as his brand by the company were fakes and alleged Adidas were suing him for ‘250 million dollars.’

In a vitriolic Instagram video West said: ‘Not only are they putting out fake color ways, they are suing me for 250million dollars and they’re also not paying me – for shoes that they’re putting out that have my name on it.

‘And they’re using contract clauses and 50 years of business experience to ra.pe an artist, one of y’all favourite artists, right in front of y’all in broad daylight.’

He also shared a post of the Adidas Yeezy sneakers and wrote: ‘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.’
