Adidas Has Finally Cut Ties With Kanye Over Antisemitic Remarks
Adidas announced Tuesday that the company was scrapping its partnership with Kanye West after the rapper, known as Ye, made a series of antisemitic remarks.
“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the company said in a statement Tuesday, where they called the rapper’s comments and actions as “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous.”
Adidas was the last major company to cut ties with Ye, ending an almost decade-long partnership. Over the last few days, fashion giants Baleciaga and Vogue dropped Ye, talent agency CAA refused to represent him any more, MRC entertainment shelved a documentary about the rapper, and Instagram and Twitter suspended his accounts.
Adidas said Tuesday that it conducted a “thorough review” and would immediately stop production of its line of Yeezy products and stop payments to Ye and his companies, adding that Ye’s comments violated the company’s “values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”

About time everyone stopped paying attention to this mentally ill person's tantrums. When my kids had tantrums, I put them in their rooms and shut the door, telling them they could come out when they could behave properly. When they were older, I sent them to their rooms with the same instructions.

Kanye, like Benedict Donald, just doesn't know when to shut his piehole.
Apparently a loss of around $650 million. 
Would’ve been interesting to be a fly on that wall at that board meeting discussion, right?
Good to know we’re still at a point in our culture where social pressure can still make companies do the right thing.
