Kanye West states why Adidas is to be blamed for his frozen accounts

Did Adidas have a hand in freezing Kanye West’s bank accounts? That is what the creative designer is saying now. Ye invited a cameraman to his studio in Crenshaw and said, “If the FCC was looking at my money, there would be a possibility that Adidas wouldn’t have gone into JP Morgan Chase and froze my account… and put $75 million hold on four different accounts.” He also added how he went from being a multi-billionaire to being unable to use his Apple Pay.

Adidas, who were reviewing their relationship with the Gold Digger singer, gave a statement before parting ways which said, “Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.” The German company could not risk having continued relations after his antisemitic take. The rapper, who lost his 2020 elections, states that he ran again in 2024 so that FCC would look into his money and, in fact, help him with the frozen accounts.
