Kanye West Says Adidas Offered $1 Billion Buyout From Yeezy Venture

American rapper and businessman, Kanye West popularly known as Ye has accused Adidas had been designing Yeezy products without his participation in a slew of venomous Instagram posts targeting the German sportswear brand’s managers. “It’s going to cost you billions,” he said.

As reported by Boss Hunting, the era of Kanye West and Adidas might soon be coming to an end as the Grammy Award-winning multihyphenate alleges there was a buyout attempt.

In yet another signature Instagram tirade wherein the man legally known as Ye aired his grievances about the German sportswear company – namely the actions of Senior Vice President & General Manager Daniel Cherry III, the release of products without his participation, as well as accusations of plagiarism – here’s what he had to say:

“The fact [Adidas] felt they could colour my shoes and name them without my approval is really wild,” Ye revealed in an Instagram post.

“I really care about building something that changes the world and something I can leave to my kids. They tried to buy me out for $1 billion. My royalties next year are $500 million alone.”

“I have no chill. It’s going to cost you billions to keep me. It’s going to cost you billions to let me go, Adidas.”

Then, taking a page out of Karl Marx’s book, the billionaire has (ironically) sworn off venture capitalists, capitalism as a whole (sort of), before making a move to seize the means of production. And by the latter, I mean simply expressing a desire to take over a shoe company and/or factories dedicated to manufacturing footwear.
