What did Yung Joc think would happen after Adidas’ split with Kanye West?

Kanye West is known for having an influence that acts like a magnet for his fans, but seeing him use that influence poorly, many brands cut off their ties with the rapper. Adidas was one of them, and they stand to lose millions. While the brand assured that it will continue manufacturing Yeezy shoes, rapper Yung Joc once told Shawn Pereze during a 2022 interview with VladTV, wherein they discussed the Donda singer and his career, he thinks otherwise.

During the interview, Perez asked Joc what he thinks would happen to Yeezy now that Kanye West is separated from Adidas. “It will die. It will, most definitely will’,” replied the rapper about the brand without any hesitation.

Connecting his answer to his own story, the rapper said how he would wear Adidas before and his mates would disapprove. As per him, adding Kanye West to the brand is what made it acceptable and cool to wear, amongst all kinds of customers. To top it off, the rapper thinks that West was well aware of what was happening, and did what he did intentionally.
