Kanye West released a 0-minute documentary, Last Week, which includes footage of him shoving a phone displaying a pornographic video in an executive’s face in an apparent attempt to intimidate the man.
In the new footage, West was accusing Adidas of stealing his ideas and smiles as the pornography plays. “He’s got the same voice, doesn’t he?” Ye says, pointing to the executive.
West has had an apparel partnership with Adidas since 2016, though their relationship has deteriorated as West has publicly criticized the CEO and drawn criticism for wearing “White Lives Matter” clothes.
It’s unclear if this footage was recorded before or after Adidas’ announcement on October 6th that after repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation with West, they have placed the partnership under review.
