Kanye West has been the constant source of negative media coverage in recent weeks – also because he had bickered with several brands. Rolling Stone magazine recently described how he behaved towards his employees at Yeezy.
Since Adidas stopped working with Kanye, the magazine spoke to more than 24 former Adidas and Yeezy employees. These paint an ugly picture of the musician.
Kanye allegedly showed his employees porn
According to the magazine, the designer has shown pornographic material to his staff during meetings, including photos and videos of his ex Kim Kardashian, as well as videos of himself having sex.
He would also have invited an employee to his office, showed him porn on his laptop and asked his opinion. At first he would have enjoyed himself; it wasn’t until he recognized a pattern in Kanye’s behavior that he realized that the musician wanted to test and destroy the boundaries of his collaborators with his behavior.
Bullying at work
The former employees also report multiple incidents where Kanye preferred to exclude and embarrass female employees. After a disagreement, he allegedly told an employee that she was not allowed to sit at the same table. As a result, the woman had to sit on the floor for hours on end.
According to the staff, Kanye yelled at his staff to intimidate them when disagreements arose.
Even on a first meeting, Kanye reportedly didn’t make a good impression. He allegedly interrupted a designer during an interview to tell her, “If you ever have a creative block, just watch porn for 10 minutes. We create passion here. I literally want to fuck my shoes, they are that good.”
Adidas would have known about it
The superiors of the Adidas employees would have been aware of the incidents – and looked the other way. For a successful collaboration, the sporting goods manufacturer would have ignored Kanye’s behavior towards its employees. If someone didn’t get along with Kanye or complained about his behavior, they were quickly transferred to another team.
A letter from the Yeezy team to Adidas, available for Rolling Stone magazine, also says:
In the letter, the former employees not only demand a public apology from Adidas, but also rules that determine how to proceed if a problematic collaboration arises between Adidas and an artist in the future.
