“I think Kanye West is one of the most creative people in the world. And both in music and what I call street culture. So he’s extremely creative and has together with Adi created a Yeezy line that was very successful.”
The Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden futher revealed that the actual reason why they had to terminate the contract they had with him was just because of the statement he made “White Lives Matters” which actually appeared so offensive to them.
“And then as creative people he did some statements which wasn’t that good. And that caused Adi to break the contract and withdraw the product. Very unfortunate because I don’t think he meant what he said and I don’t think he’s a bad person it just came across that way.” He added.
Meanwhile, following his statements, he still believes that Kanye West never meant what he said and he was just trying to make some jokes, but didn’t know that it would turn out that way to terminate his business contract with them.
