Swizz Beatz has called for an adidas boycott in solidarity with his friend and fellow producer Kanye West.
Swizzy shared an Instagram post on Monday night (September 5) featuring a photo of a pair of black and orange bootleg Yeezys with a red “X” through the middle.
Swizz wrote in the caption: “I usually mind my business but this is DEAD WRONG! If we let them do this to @kanyewest it will happen to us also! This man created this groundbreaking innovation and it should be respected as a creative !
“YE is only asking for his work to be respected and not stolen that’s not crazy to me !! We not buying these !!!!!!!!!!!! @adidas you’re supposed to be original do the correct thing please !!!”
Kanye re-shared Swizz Beatz’s post and wrote in the caption: “That’s love.” He later shared a photo of Swizz smiling with another caption that read: “This the energy.”
Kanye West launched his social media assault on adidas at the beginning of August, accusing the company of starting Yeezy Day without his approval.
“adidas made up the Yeezy Day idea without my approval,” he wrote at the time. “then went and brought back older styles without my approval picked colors and named them without my approval went and hired people that worked for me without my approval stole my colorways without my approval stole my styles and material approached without my approval and hired a GM of Yeezy without my approval.”

The onslaught went into overdrive last week when Kanye declared adidas CEO Kasper Rørsted “dead at 60” with one of his New York Times mockups. On September 3, he went after the company’s Senior Vice President/General Manager Daniel Cherry III.
“Hi my name is DC I was hired by the recently deceased Kasper without YE’s knowledge to run the most culturally influential brand in the world,” he captioned the post. “I got ideas Starting with this hat They gave me the job over Mark Minor because they love my hat idea Damn I miss Kasper.”
The following day, Ye was punished by Instagram for making negative comments about several members of the adidas board alongside their headshots. After they were removed, he re-posted their photos with sarcastic captions such as “good vibes” and “sure is positive.”
Under a photo of Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Investment Banking at Chase Bank Jing Ulrich, Ye wrote: “God bless everyone Instagram please don’t take down this post I’m simply and kindly bringing light to the fact that Jing Ulrich is on the board of adidas and JP Morgan Chase : ) There’s nooooo reason this post should get flagged.”
Fuck Yeezys and Fuck Ye
That’s a lot of intercourse your having with other men.
Says the dude with the stereotypical soy cuck face hahahah
With a face like yours, you have no room to talk. Your chin has seen more dicks than a Yankees Stadium Urinal.
tom cruise mom shoes FOH
I’m really sad about Kanye. Where can I send money to him?
Boycott Adidas? For what? To help the poor, misunderstood billionaire? GTF. The day the /// drop that bi-polar bitch, the better. He might have given them a massive sales bump with his garbage shoes, but Adidas was around long before this clown, and they’ll be around long after him too.
Kanye West is a billionaire, so he should start his own shoe brand instead partnering with white, corporate America
Adidas is German..
My God. The fact you blindly think of Adidas as an American corporation just goes to show that the dumbing down of society is far past completed… use your brain before making idiotic assumptions. You likely think Lambos are American, and Exxon is Saudi lol.
Blah, blah, blah. Adidas North America is a white American corporation
THAT’S THE WRONG ONE TO STAND NEXT TO SWIZZ. I’M GONNA BUY THESE HIKING SNEAKERS I’VE BEEN EYEING ON ADIDAS JUST TO BE ANTI. EFF THESE CLOWNS.
Some of y’all are fukn ridiculous, if you worked for years on a brand and someone stole from it for their own personal gain wtf would you do? Ye worked his ass off while battling his mental issues as well as putting out multiple projects and made his brand EXTREMELY successful. I guarantee everybody with something to say about him being a billionaire broke as shit with no ideas on how to get money. I guess you could steal just like adidas low down ass.
KANYE IS NOT JORDAN.
Those shoes are dope and the funniest thing is..they don’t look like anything in the Yeezy line..they’re foam shoes. A bunch of brands are doing them. What clowns lol.
People still asking broke people to boycott for your rich man issues lmao these clowns
