Adidas Loses Billions đź’¸
After the split between Adidas and Kanye West in October of 2022, the artist publicly mentioned that he lost over $1.5 billion dollars. GAP, Balenciaga , and Vogue followed suit and terminated their partnerships with him causing even more damage.
Kanye lost a multi-billion dollar contract over a tweet. However, Adidas lost their most successful collaborator and over a billion dollars in revenue in order to maintain their reputation.
