More jabs & jokes from Ye
Kanye West has fired back at Adidas after the sportswear giant severed ties with him — and poked fun at the growing list of companies dumping him over his antiSemitic hate speech.
The rapper now known as Ye resumed posting to his 18.3 million followers late Wednesday, starting with a snipe at Adidas, the company behind his hip Yeezy shoes, that finally cut ties Tuesday.
He shared a screenshot of a text with his former lawyer telling him to tell Adidas that “you can start to make new designs for footwear, apparel and accessories immediately.”
Crude joke
It was marked in Ye’s contacts as being from “Quinn Emmanuel,” seemingly referring to the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
He then told the attorney that he owns “the Yeezy name and all trademarks associated” with it.
The rapper also shared a crude joke seemingly aimed at his ongoing ostracism and the financial losses that ended his billionaire status.
“I haven’t got super model pu**y in over a month . . . Please send help,” he wrote in the post, which had already been deleted by Thursday morning.
He followed that post with yet another joke at those who have dumped him over his ongoing antiSemitic outbursts, which started with a threat to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
He shared a meme early Thursday claiming to be a news article reporting that “Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West.”
“Had to cut ties bro,” he said, a clear knock on those who dropped him, including major corporations, lawyers and talent agents.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens — who helped Ye model his “White Lives Matter” T-shirts at the start of his troubles earlier this month — was among those commenting, replying with a stream of 11 emojis of someone crying with laughter.
Ye later addressed a post directly to Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, the Hollywood power broker who openly called for those doing business with Ye to cut ties to stop “giving his misguided hate an audience.”
“I still love you. God still loves you,” he wrote, calling it “love speech” despite his insistence on standing behind the anti-Semitic outbursts that sparked his downfall.
