It’s been over six months since Kanye West enraged his followers and business partners with anti-Semitic comments and other controversial behavior, and while the rapper has for the most part stayed off of social media (sometimes not by choice), the ramifications of his actions continue to play out in court. Perhaps the biggest loss that West incurred in the aftermath of his controversy was being dropped by Adidas, and as litigation continues between the two parties, the “Heartless” artist just landed a legal win.
Kanye West has been in a legal battle with Adidas since November 2022, following the dissolution of their business partnership at the height of his anti-Semitic rants. On May 30 a judge denied the athletic company’s request to re-freeze $75 million, Billboard reports, meaning that Ye will maintain control of a large amount of the money made from his Yeezy shoes. Adidas had filed the motion over concerns about how the rapper would use the funds, arguing that their brand could suffer “irreparable harm.”
