Kanye West has expressed his gratitude to Snoop Dogg after the rapper showed his support in his nasty fight with Adidas.
It comes after West accused the global brand of creative “rape” when they released a new “steel gray” colorway of the Yeezy Boost without the rapper’s permission.
West revealed that Adidas sold “fake Yeezys” and also sued him for $250 million in addition to not paying him for the new releases. He claims the brand used confusing language and legal loopholes to score one of them.

Rapper “Donda” slammed the company for promoting the new “steel gray” colorway of the Yeezy boost, claiming he knew nothing about it. In a video that is trending online, West goes on a rant explaining that they are using a legal loophole to take advantage of him.
“Let me make it very clear to you what happened with Adidas,” he said in the clip. “Not only did they produce unapproved fake colorways, they sued me for $250 million, and they didn’t even pay me for the shoes they produced, which had my name on them. And they use contract clauses and 50 years of business experience to rape artists. One of your favorite artists, right in front of you in broad daylight.”

Over two weeks ago, West and Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden were photographed together, teasing a reconciliation between him and the brand, but that doesn’t seem to be happening anymore as he continues to ask his fans to boycott them.
He posted a photo of the shoes in controversy and wrote “Anyone who loves Ye will never buy these fake Yeezys.”
He continued, “I never made these colors, I didn’t get paid for them and Adidas sued me All these celebrities and people will be against my T-shirt or the color of my hat, but when you see I have children hidden from me or seeing a Fortune 500 company actually rape one of your heroes in real life no one said anything or did nothing.”
“As far as the system goes What you’ve lost do now Cancel my album again Freeze my account again Threaten people not to work with me anymore All unapproved 350s are cooorny,” the rapper added.
