Adidas cuts ties with rapper Kanye West over antisemitism
Clothing giant Adidas has cut ties with rapper Ye, known as Kanye West, saying it does "not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech".

Adidas's Yeezy brand collaboration with Mr West was put under review, after he showed a "White Lives Matter" T-shirt design at Paris Fashion Week.

Days later, the rapper posted antisemitic comments on his Twitter account.

His products will be pulled from sale with immediate effect, said Adidas.

The sportswear brand has previously said the Yeezy brand collaboration with Ye was one of the most successful in the company's history.

Cutting the partnership means Adidas will make a net loss of £217m in 2022 as a result, it said.

I did one singing (poorly) all of the places they had lived during their marriage. There were 17 places! It made a great ending to the video with Johnny's version being played.

Ol' Wifehorn and I had "date night" last night. We are newly empty nesters and an adorable elderly couple (until you mess with us) and we went to a restaurant we used to like, and they were 75% closed for lack of staff. Big place, but only three small booths open, one waitress for the whole restaurant on Saturday night, and we had to go elsewhere.

But now I get it. The other workers are all in the tunnels, where the rads are lower.

Kanye West is making a quick move to find a new home for his Yeezy shoes ... hitting Skechers headquarters to talk with the company's honchos, but immediately got turned away.

Sources familiar with Ye's visit tell us he was at the company's main office Wednesday morning in Manhattan Beach, CA ... but this was not a scheduled meeting with management.

Skechers says, Ye "arrived unannounced and without invitation at one of Skechers’ corporate offices in Los Angeles. Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation."

Now, we don't know if Kanye did his research or not, but Skechers is owned and operated by a Jewish family -- Robert Greenberg founded it, and his son Michael is currently the President. Considering his rampant anti-Semitism, you could say he barked up the wrong tree.

A spokesperson tells us, "Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West. We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech. Again, West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices."

I dunno but we were in London earlier this year visiting family and I saw some large paintings in a shop window that changed as you walked by just like that. I walked back and forth a few times, it was very cool!
