“F**k Adidas”: Kanye West’s Spiteful Move Against Adidas Will Now Make Big Bucks For a Fan as Rapper’s Signed Album Hits Auction Market
Kanye West is back to making headlines, and this time around, it is for a rather hilarious reason. West’s long-running battle with the fashion brand Adidas does not seem to have ended after the company ended its collaboration with the rapper over his alleged anti-semitic views, making it clear that they are against any kind of hate speech.
While the company’s stance is completely understandable given its worldwide customer reach, fans of West did not take this well. Even so, one of these many fans seems to be banking on this mutual hate for the brand through the sale of an album signed with an expletive by Ye himself.
Kanye West Fan Wins Big with an Expletive-signed Album on Auction
Kanye West is one of the most popular artists in the entertainment industry. Although he is mostly known for his creative talent as a songwriter and rapper, he has also gained widespread attention for his controversial conduct on social media and public events like award shows. Not to mention his marriage with social media personality Kim Kardashian.
West, who legally got his name changed to Ye, allegedly made some strong antisemitic comments in late 2022. The list of companies that severed ties with the Through the Wire rapper included Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap Inc., and Foot Locker.
TMZ has recently reported that a fan’s vinyl album signed with the expletive “F**K ADIDAS” has been put up for auction. The album signed is Ye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, released in 2010, and it is being reported that only offers above $500,000 are being entertained for the vinyl (via Moments in Time). The vinyl has such a high price because the Stronger singer was caught signing it on video.

The fan has even shared the backstory for how he ended up with the album as he claimed that it took him 10 years to get a chance to meet his favorite artist. The incident happened in February when the singer and his wife Bianca Censori were leaving a hotel in Paris and the fans gathered outside were chanting “F*CK ADIDAS” in support of their favorite music icon.
Is Kanye West’s Marriage with Bianca Censori in Trouble?
West and his designer wife often make headlines after their public appearances since Censori is often scantily dressed. This obviously attracts a lot of attention online as well as offline. However, their marriage might be in troubled waters because of Ye’s new business venture idea.
In late April, TMZ reported that the rapper is planning to expand his brand Yeezy to the adult entertainment industry. Earlier this month, a source told InTouch that his wife Censori is not very thrilled with this idea. The source said:
She’s freaking out, and with good reason. He’s been strutting her around and dressing her like she’s a p*rn star — and now she knows why! Kanye’s hell-bent on making Bianca his p*rn screen queen, but she wants no part of it. She’s already gotten all the notoriety she needs from him, and her friends say she’s ready to walk.
The Sun reported that Censori was spotted back at her husband’s size while driving out of The Chateau Marmont in Paris after missing her step-daughter North West’s performance of The Lion King.
