Adidas plans to end partnership with Kanye West – report

Adidas is planning to end its commercial partnership with Kanye West after the rapper made antisemitic comments, according to Bloomberg News.

Fashion brands Gap and Balenciaga have already dumped West – who now goes by the name Ye – after a string of controversies.

Here’s what Bloomberg said: “The German sports company may announce the move as early as Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because discussions are private. A representative for Adidas didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.”

The Adidas decision follows weeks of deliberations inside the company, which over the past decade has built the Yeezy line — together with Ye — into a brand that’s accounted for as much as 8% of Adidas’s total sales, according to several estimates from Wall Street analysts.
