Kanye West Drew Swastika in 2013 Adidas Meeting, Praised Hitler, NY Times Reports

Adidas shoulda seen Kanye West‘s antisemitic rants coming — throughout one among his first conferences with the corporate, 11 years in the past, he reportedly drew a swastika on a shoe sketch.

Shortly after signing on with the German sneaker big in 2013, staff offered a bunch of shoe sketches to Kayne, which he didn’t like — and, in response, he picked up a marker and drew a swastika over one of many sketches … based on a NYT report.

That transfer shocked everybody within the room, particularly as a result of the assembly was reportedly taking place near Nuremberg, the place Nazis infamously stood trial for conflict crimes after WW II.

Kanye set the bar with that transfer, although, as a result of the NYT report claims, in future conferences,  he suggested “a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Adolf Hitler every day” — and repeatedly advised different Adidas staff what a “master marketer” Hitler was, and praised his “command of propaganda.”

Take into accout, Adidas remained within the Yeezy biz for almost 10 years, and made a ton of cash with Kanye, till final yr … when he began publicly spewing his antisemitic beliefs.

Adidas reportedly tripled Kanye’s wage throughout a 2016 contract negotiation however added a morals clause within the deal — maybe as a result of it was, by then, nicely conscious of his affinity for Hitler and the Nazis.
