In one bomb New York Times reports from last year, West was accused of anti-Semitic acts during his first meeting with Adidas. During The Meeting, the rapper allegedly drew a swastika to convey his frustration with the employee’s design.
The report read, “Adidas employees, excited to get started, had arranged shoes and fabric swatches on a long table near a mood board studded with images. But nothing they showed that day at the company’s German headquarters captured the vision Mr. West shared.”
“To convey how painful he thought the design was, he took a sketch of the shoe and took a marker to the toe. Then he drew a swastika,” it continued.

According to the report, West’s actions were just the beginning of 10 years of him consistently displaying anti-Semitic remarks in meetings and interactions with Adidas employees.

“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any ‘unintended outburst’. I did not intend to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused,” West wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.
He added, “I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”
