Adidas finally terminated its contract with Kanye West on October 25, after a lot of celebrities and the public started calling out the shoe brand. The brand gave a statement saying,
“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the brand said in a statement. “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
