Why are people surprised at what's happening to Kanye West?

Everyone is not as accommodating as black people who you can insult from now till eternity and they will find excuses to defend the oppressor. The Jews are too powerful to make noise. They show power through actions. No need for empty threats. You won't be hearing any anti-Semitic statements from influential people anytime soon. That's real power.

He is an idiot. There are hundreds of examples of people who have been blacklisted after making anti-Semitic comments. He was so sure that his behavior would’ve been blamed on mental illness that he felt comfortable doing what he did. His biggest mistake? Thinking that because he married a white woman, has half-white kids, and has white supporters he can act as a foolish white man would and get away with it.
The contract termination is legal because Kanye West violated several conditions of his contract with Adidas.

Clueless as ever. Kanye has wanted out of the adidas deal for ages and has been doing everything to sabotage it for months. He has been fighting with the board, accusing them of ripping him off and copying his designs for their other product lines.

This whole saga might just be his well calculated plan to get them to cancel the deal themselves and pay him millions of dollars in severance while at it.

You obviously don’t pay attention to hip hop because if you did you would know Kanye has said multiple times, on records and in interviews, that his dream is to take Yeezy independent now that he has learnt everything about the business from adidas. He believed he can make much more money from it in the long term that way.

Bebe no one attains Kanye’s level of wealth being an idiot. Take it or leave it. You might just be the idiot for being short sighted and not understanding the long game their playing. Not everything is as it seems in politics and business Bebe. You have a lot to learn.

He didn’t want out of the deal, especially since he doesn’t own the design. cheesy cheesy grin grin
They’ll continue to manufacture the shoe and use another name while he struggles to bounce back. Even TJ Maxx, a discount store, announced that they will not sell his brands. The guy was desperate enough yesterday to show up at SKETCHERS headquarters looking for a deal and was turned away. They made him leave the premises. Did he carefully calculate that too? Did he also want out of the GAP deal because they cancelled him too.

Kanye DOES NOT own the Yeezy design. It is owned by ADIDAS. It’s their INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. ADIDAS IS THE SOLE OWNER OF THE DESIGN AND IF HE TRIES TO GET ANOTHER COMPANY TO MANUFACTURE THE SHOES, BOTH HE AND THAT COMPANY WILL BE SUED AND BANKRUPTED IN COURT.
The show will go on without him. He wanted out of the contract and planned? So he could go begging other companies for a contract that he won’t get.

Bahahaha. Okay. Let me show you something.

Check out the dates on these articles bellow. Do you now understand the timing of his recent “outbursts”? Lol.

Men are playing 4D chess. Little kids that don’t even have 1% of their business success are calling them idiots lol.

Re: Adidas Terminates Partnership With Kanye West by 1stGenAmerican(f): 4:04pm On Oct 27, 2022
Per the US Patent Office, ADIDAS Corp. is the Sole Owner of the Yeezy shoe designs. Even Google knows this. Goodbye folks!

Last last the matter will end up in court and at the very least adidas will pay him hundreds of millions in severance and royalties and he has the freedom to go independent with his designs. He is it losing form this no matter how bad you praying for him to babe. You do no understand the man’s strategy at all.

Bahahahaha. Always run away when you lose the argument. So what were they paying him all that money for? Just his name or what? He owns his fvcking designs honey. He just can’t just resell preexisting models but he is still the owner of Yeezy. Stop being ridiculous.

existing products. Not new designs. Can you read at all?
Re: Adidas Terminates Partnership With Kanye West by 1stGenAmerican(f): 4:13pm On Oct 27, 2022
ADIDAS is the SOLE OWNER of “existing designs as well as previous and new”. The patent rights in itself will have any cases thrown out in lower courts while higher courts refuse to take the case.

Lol I don’t think you even read the screenshot you posted because it disproved your own pint.

Yes adidas owns the existing products on the market and can keep selling them as long as they’ve paid him the royalties for those batches.

But he still keeps the Yeezy brand and his designs and can create new products with similar patterns. Kanye was the designer and adidas was the distributor in this deal honey. You don’t know a thing about business obviously.

You hate the man and you want him to fall that’s obvious but facts are facts. He is not losing from this and it’s been his plan all along.

Of “existing products” OLODO!!!!!! Jesu!

Are you dumb or what. Why do you think they keep emphasizing the words “existing products” in all your screenshots?

He still owns Yeezy and it’s trademark. He can still design new sneakers with the Yeezy style and pattern. He just can’t profit from the resale of existing models or try to replicate them. The fact that you thought Kanye was bringing nothing to this deal but his name is incredible. It was a joint venture not a franchise or name license agreement. Kanye was the designer and adidas was the manufacturer/distributor. Prove me wrong.

I guess he finally realized he was being an idiot when his money went where his mouth went.


KANYE WEST SPOKE with paparazzi on Friday night, where he said he did not realize he was being antisemitic and apologized for falsely claiming George Floyd died from fentanyl rather than Floyd suffocating from a police officer putting a knee on his neck, which caused his death.

When the paparazzi confronted West about his antisemitic statements, he said he didn’t realize what he was saying was considered antisemitic and that after having a mediation with Adidas who has officially severed ties with the rapper, he came to some realizations and became “humbled.” In his convoluted conversation, where he seemed to be making statements and walking them back simultaneously, he added that “When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings. And I know that police do attack and America is generally racist,” he said to paparazzi, via HipHopDX. “And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, that the idea of it made us feel good together as a people, right?”
