Snoop Dogg Supports Kanye West In Adidas Sneaker Showdown

Snoop Dogg Throws Support Behind Kanye West In Battle With Adidas

Snoop Dogg has shown his support for Kanye West in the ongoing sneaker dispute with Adidas over Yeezys. This comes as Adidas is releasing its third sale of Yeezy sneakers following the termination of their partnership with Kanye.

Kanye publicly criticized Adidas for not paying him and simultaneously suing him. Snoop Dogg commented on Kanye's post, encouraging him to speak his truth. Kanye later expressed gratitude for the support he received from Snoop and his fans.

Following Kanye's Instagram rant against Adidas, where he accused the company of selling Yeezys without compensating him, Snoop publicly backed Kanye's stance. Kanye claimed that Adidas was profiting from unauthorized Yeezy colorways and not paying him for them.

Adidas cut ties with Kanye in October 2022 due to his controversial remarks, leaving them with unsold Yeezys worth over $1 billion. The company announced a third sale of the remaining sneakers, with a portion of the proceeds going towards anti-hate groups.

While Adidas initiated a private arbitration case against Kanye's Yeezy LLC, it remains unclear if they have taken legal action against the rapper. Kanye continues to voice his grievances against Adidas, questioning the company's treatment of him and the authenticity of the Yeezy releases.
