Nowadays, it is quite ordinary for people to wake up with a new headline about Kanye West. The rapper has become notorious for his constant controversies that go all the way wrong. From interrupting Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech to making claims for ex-wife Kim Kardashian, he has made many mistakes all these years. While the biggest blunder brought about by his bizarre stunts was the Twitter tirade about the Jew community.
The moment the rapper made antisemitic remarks on the platform, he faced backlash and got terminated from social media. Adding further to the consequences, all his lucrative deals with brands like Balenciaga, GAP, and Adidas came to an end. However, it seems that the huge Adidas breakup was just the beginning of a shocking revelation, as former employees recently break their silence, condemning Adidas for ignoring the misbehavior of the former Yeezy designer.
