“Fake Yeezy!” Kanye West Accuses Adidas Of Copying His Designs

Rapper and designer Kanye West has taken to Instagram to accuse sportswear giant Adidas of copying his designs.

In a since deleted post, West posted a photo of a pair of Adidas slides and then posted a lengthy caption on Instagram.

He wrote: “To Kasper I’m not standing for this blatant copying no more.

“To all sneaker culture To every ball player rapper or even if you work at the store This is for everyone who wants to express themselves but feel they can’t cause they’ll loose their contract or be called crazy.”

“These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have to the talent. This shoe is a fake Yeezy made by adidas themselves I’m not talking to DC about this either Kasper come to talk to me Happy Monday.”

West is assumedly referring to Adidas CEO Kasper Rorset.

Of course, West’s accusations are interesting because West has partnered with the brand before.

Naturally, Twitter also weighed on West’s accusation.


Adidas has yet to respond.
