The rapper showed off his employees in Los Angeles, who were working on sewing machines and
dozens of garments hung on rails or displayed on tables.
“I cut 100 hoodies from Yeezy, Balenciaga, Gap and Adidas, and everything we make will cost $20,
” the rapper said. “We have to make sure everyone gets the same level of logging, the same level of
food, the same level of water, the same level of education. We’re engineering opportunities, we’re
moving past the past, we’re focused on the future.”
Kanye West said he will sell Balenciaga, Adidas and Gap hoodies for $20.
Famous brands cut ties with West over his anti-Semitic comments. Additionally, Adidas said it will continue to sell Yeezy designs due to ownership of the copyright, which Ye does not have.
TOPLINE Kanye West is hoarding thousands of dollars worth of clothing from the companies who abandoned their multimillion-dollar collaborations with the rapper after he repeatedly spewed antisemitic comments, claiming he will use the gear to publicize his 2024 campaign presidential campaign.
West backed out of his Gap partnership in September, while both Balenciaga and Adidas dropped him in October after West engaged in increasingly controversial behavior and abusive comments mostly targeting Jews. West also ran for president in 2020, coming under fire after he attacked Underground Railroad leader Harriet Tubman at a rally and telling Forbes Covid vaccines are the “mark of the beast.” West received about 60,000 votes in the 2020 election, running as the candidate of the “Birthday Party.” West suffers from bipolar disorder, which can cause affected individuals to act irrationally or in ways they may later regret.
West tweeted the Hebrew greeting “Shalom” and a smiley face after a post asking if his Twitter account was unblocked Sunday, his first activity on the platform in more than two weeks. West, whose Twitter and Instagram accounts were temporarily locked last month, has yet to meaningfully apologize or walk back his antisemitism. Yiannopoulos, who was banned on Twitter for making a series of racist, anti-Black posts, is one of the few celebrities whose Twitter account remains blocked after the company’s new CEO Elon Musk welcomed several figures back to the site last week, including former President Donald Trump. The world’s wealthiest man Musk welcomed West back to Twitter with open arms, replying Sunday to the rapper: “Don’t kill what ye hate Save what ye love.”
