“The thing about it being Adidas — I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can't drop me. Now what? Now what?”
Kanye: “The thing about it being Adidas — I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can't drop me. Now what? Now what?” Prior to West's podcast appearance, Adidas had released a statement about their partnership with Kanye West. They said: “After repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation, we have taken the decision to place the partnership under review. We will continue to co-manage the current product during this period.”

The rapper claimed that the brand would never severe ties with him. Now, customers are demanding that the brand does so and warned them that they will stop purchasing their products if they refuse to. The Donda rapper appeared on the Drink Champs podcast and made a series of problematic statements. Along with claiming that died of fentanyl usage, he also boasted that he could make remarks without any interference from Adidas. He said on the podcast: “The thing about it being Adidas is like, I can say antisemitic s**t and they can’t drop me. I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what? Now what?” Kanye:“The thing about it being Adidas — I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can't drop me. Now what? Now what?”

Adidas likely to release statement about Kanye West s antisemitic remarks
It seems like netizens are not satisfied with the sportswear company’s announcement. With the soaring backlash against the German company, it is likely that they will be forced to cut ties with Kanye West or at least issue a public statement on the matter. Bloomberg reviewed that West’s sneakers and apparel collaboration with Adidas AG and Gap were valued between $3.2 billion and $4.7 billion. Although Gap has cut ties with the rapper, Adidas has not made an announcement about doing so. It is possible that the brand hopes that the wrath against Kanye West boils down, so that they do not lose on their profitable partnership.Netizens react to Kanye West s partnership with Adidas
Internet users have been incredibly disturbed by Kanye West’s anti-Jew remarks in recent weeks. Many were enraged to see Adidas not take a public stand against the rapper-designer. Netizens have since urged the brand to cut ties with the 45-year-old, similar to the likes of and Gap. Netizens pledged that they would “boycott” Adidas until they disassociate with the Famous rapper. A few comments online read: Today on the 405 in Los Angeles.
