Adidas has formally terminated its partnership with Kanye with immediate effect. Ye has courted controversy in recent months by publicly ending major corporate tie-ups, as well as for a series of outbursts on social media in which he appeared to make anti-Semitic comments as well as derisive remarks against other celebrities. His Twitter and Instagram accounts were restricted, with the social media platforms saying they removed his posts that online users condemned as anti-Semitic.
