Kanye West is back in the headlines, erupting in a social media tirade against designer Brittany Pierone and reigniting his feud with Adidas. Buckle up, because this one’s got accusations, shade, and a hefty dose of Yeezy-style drama!
Sock it to Me? Designer Gets Blasted:
It all started with Pierone, founder of design studio Proof Of Concept, sharing a photo of herself wearing West’s new Yeezy Pod sock shoe. But apparently, something wasn’t quite right according to Kanye. He took to Instagram, blasting Pierone for seemingly mocking the shoe by wearing it too big and questioning if Adidas paid her to post it. Ouch!
From Praise to Payback? What Really Happened:
Pierone clarified that her original post praised the shoes as “beautiful.” West initially accepted her explanation, but the rant continued. He accused Adidas of copying his designs, suing him for billions, and misusing marketing funds – claims Adidas denies and has addressed through arbitration.
Is Yeezy Off His Rocker? Fans & Critics Weigh In:
The internet wasn’t holding back. Some expressed concern for West’s mental well-being, while others criticized him for attacking Pierone and his ongoing issues with Adidas. The hefty price tag of the Yeezy Pods also drew criticism, with many questioning their value.
Adidas Says Adios to Yeezy (for Now):
Adding another layer to the drama, Adidas announced they’ll be selling off their remaining Yeezy stock “at cost.” This follows their earlier decision to terminate their partnership with West after his antisemitic remarks.
Will the Yeezy drama ever end? Only time will tell, but this latest outburst is sure to keep the conversation going. So, grab your popcorn, hit refresh, and get ready for the next chapter in the ever-unfolding saga of Kanye West.
