Kanye West receives support from Snoop Dogg, Timbaland and more.
Kanye West continues his fight with Adidas as the company exploits his Yeezys work as part of their previous partnership before parting ways over Ye’s antisemitic controversy. The rapper returned with a few posts on social media, where he urged his followers not to buy Adidas 350 footwear.
In one of the posts, he also received support from Snoop Dogg, who wrote: “speak ya truth.” Ye then shared the screenshot of the comment with a caption: “Thank you everybody for supporting me on this fight with adidas Thank you Snoop and thank you to all my fans Your words are making a difference right now.”
“Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys I never made these color ways I’m not getting paid off of them and adidas is suing me,” he wrote in previous posts. “All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T shirt or the color of my hat but when yall see me have my children hidden from me or see an actual Fortune 500 company rape one of your heroes in real life don’t nobody say nothing or do nothing.
“As far as the system goes What yall gone do now Take my album down again Freeze my accounts again Threaten people to not work with me again All the new non approved 350’s are cooorny.”
