Kanye West appears to believe his fleeting war with adidas has come to a victorious end.
On Monday night (September 5), shortly after Swizz Beatz called for an adidas boycott, Ye shared a pair of Instagram posts that indicate his battle with the sports apparel giant is over — at least for now.
“I COULD HEAR THE JOY IN MY TEAMS VOICES TODAY,” he wrote in all caps. “ADIDAS DON’T WANT NO MORE SMOKE. THE MOVIE CREDIT’S ARE ROLLING. THIS WAR WASN’T ABOUT MONEY.
“IT WAS ABOUT CONTROL OF OUR FAMILIES. OF OUR BUSINESSES. OF OUR STORY. OF OUR VOICE. I GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SETTLE THIS QUIETLY. NOW IT’S TIME FOR GAP :)”
In a follow-up post, Kanye West shared a note that read: Dear Ye, Your legal team recommends that we refrain from posting anything on Gap for another 10 days.” He added in the caption: 10 days.”
Kanye previously accused adidas of stealing his designs and set his sights on several members of the company over the weekend. Ye had similar complaints about Gap as well.
On August 30, the G.O.O.D. Music founder was upset Gap allegedly didn’t invite him to a meeting. “Gap held a meeting without me?” he wrote on Instagram.
Swizz Beatz Calls For adidas Boycott In Solidarity With Kanye West
The following day, he returned with a screenshot of a text message exchange in which he accused the company of stealing his designs.
“This is Gap copying YGEBB [Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga],” it read. It also included a photo of a young model wearing a Gap t-shirt. Kanye added in the caption: “But they canceled the photo shoot with my kids in Japan without me knowing.”
While Ye’s gripes with adidas seem to be quieted for now, it looks like he’ll continue taking on the Gap — in 10 days.
Allegedly worth 2 billion and crying like a bitch to fans and middle class America about mfs in boardrooms we’ll never come across or give AF about! Take that alleged money and build out a distribution network. Keep it in the “family”
stfu black people have no family that’s the problem. instead of counting ye money concern yourself with your own business and YOUR OWN FAMILY. Bron Ye Hov not your family. Your brother is your family, your sister, your dad is your family. concern yourself with them and leave Ye to his problems and issues to solve himself
When Ye out here crying like a little bitch on the internet all up in his feelings – people are going to comment on it. If Ye doesn’t want people to have an opinion he should stop posting every gotdamn little slight that gets him butthurt on his social media. Dude has the same energy on Instagram as an edgy teenager. FOH.
Black ppl… have no family? Wtf lol. In NY, black people have larger families than anyone else I know. They all have minimum 3 kids. Usually 5+ .
am I the only one that remembers Foamposites? The Tim Duncan one’s were pretty dope. Kanye the type of person to claim he invented sandals and sue Jesus for not giving him the proper credit while he was getting crucified.
