Adidas has launched an investigation into allegations that it turned a blind eye to inappropriate behavior from Ye while he was heading Yeezy and making shoes for the German sportswear giant.
The investigation comes after a Rolling Stone report detailed incidents of inappropriate and often sexualized treatment of staff by the rapper and fashion designer formally known as Kanye West. The report, which cited more than two dozen former Yeezy and Adidas staff, said Adidas was made aware of Ye’s “problematic behavior” but ignored the allegations and “turned their moral compass off.”
