Kanye West has leaked an alleged document from adidas that he claims is proof of a conspiracy against him.
In a since-deleted post on Instagram on Thursday (February 29), Ye posted a memo allegedly sent out to adidas employees telling them what to say to the press if approached for comment on the continuing legal battle between the sportswear giant and the rapper.

The memo tells employees to “please refrain from extended conversations” about the dispute and also claims that adidas is the sole owner of the Yeezy shoe designs which originated in 2022.
It also says that the German company honored all obligations with West before terminating their relationship in late 2022 over his antisemitic comments.

Kanye posted a picture of the document along with the caption: “This is the document that they give employees at adidas when asked questions about Yeezy. There is an overlap to adidas and Kim ignoring my opinion on where my kids go to school or people ignoring my name change or the entire celebrity culture ostracizing me for my political opinion.”
He added: “It all comes down to human rights which you sacrifice when you’re stigmatized with mental issues. All these situations are actually far crazier than what I’ve been branded to be.”

The Chicago rap icon also posted screenshots of him direct messaging various accounts on Instagram, including adidas Originals.
In that message, he wrote: “Even if ya’ll never liked me, this is next level robbery” but doesn’t appear to have received a response.

Ye also messaged sneaker blogs asking them not to support the release of adidas’ new 350 shoes, accusing the company of “stealing” his ideas and calling their alleged $250 million lawsuit against him “rape.”
Kanye West has stepped up his campaign against former business partners adidas in recent weeks, slamming them for selling new versions of the 350 shoes which originated under his Yeezy brand.
“Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys I never made these color ways I’m not getting paid off of them and adidas is suing me,” he wrote on Instagram earlier this week.
“All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T shirt or the color of my hat but when yall see me have my children hidden from me or see an actual Fortune 500 company rape one of your heroes in real life don’t nobody say nothing or do nothing.”

He added: “As far as the system goes What yall gone do now Take my album down again Freeze my accounts again Threaten people to not work with me again All the new non approved 350’s are cooorny.”
