Kanye West slams Adidas 'disrespect' as ex Kim Kardashian shares new pics with Pete

Kanye West has fired a savage shot at Adidas for "blatant copying" of his Yeezy slides.

The rapper and sports brand had been collaborating together for almost a decade, but he has slammed their latest release - the Adilette slides.

The brand's new footwear was released earlier this month but the Gold Digger singer, 45, blasted them as "fake Yeezys".

He called out the company's CEO Kasper Rorstad in an angry Instagram rant on Monday, writing: "THIS IS YE driving down the same street Kobe passed on. Maybe I feel that Mamba spirit right now.

"To Kasper I’m not standing for this blatant copying no more. To all sneaker culture To every ball player rapper or even if you work at the store This is for everyone who wants to express themselves but feel they can’t cause they’ll lose their contract or be called crazy.

"Bravery is not being afraid. Bravery is overcoming your fear for your truth. This Ye with the blue paint on my face."

He continued: "These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have to the talent. This shoe is a fake Yeezy made by adidas themselves I’m not talking to DC about this either Kasper come talk to me. Happy Monday."

Although it's unclear whether the two parties are now parting ways, Adidas' CEO has previously defending Kanye and his controversial comments.

And while the artist now known as Ye was throwing shade on Instagram, ex-wife Kim Kardashian was seemingly in a much better mood as she shared sweet snaps with new beau Pete Davidson.

The reality TV star wore a tiny black string bikini in the pic as she stands alongside the former Saturday Night Live star in crystal blue water as they share a kiss.

Pete stood shirtless with his tattoos visible and wore matching black swim trunks and black Prada sunglasses.

In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted she had been trying to protect Pete from the public drama that comes with dating her.

Kanye has regularly took shots at Pete and the pair's relationship, but Kim said in a confessional on the show: "I never want the person I’m dating to be subjected to public scrutiny just because we’re dating.

"He knows what he’s getting himself into, but I’m trying to minimise any tabloid drama."
