ACCUSATIONS AGAINST KANYE WEST ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION BY ADIDAS

Fri 25 November 2022: 

Adidas has announced that it has launched an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior by Kanye West following the termination of its partnership with the rapper and fashion designer last month.

Adidas said it launched the investigation after receiving an anonymous letter making several allegations against the musician, now known as Ye.

The investigation comes in the wake of a Rolling Stone magazine report detailing alleged incidents of inappropriate behavior by Ye toward employees and prospective employees. Rolling Stone cited interviews with over a dozen former Yeezy and Adidas employees.

According to the magazine, former members of the team sent an anonymous letter to Adidas in which they said senior leaders at the company were aware of Ye’s behaviour but had turned a “blind eye” and “turned their moral compass off”.

“It is currently not clear whether the accusations made in an anonymous letter are true,” an Adidas spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.

“However, we take these allegations very seriously and have taken the decision to launch an independent investigation of the matter immediately to address the allegations.”
