Rapper Ye is accusing Adidas of selling "fake" Yeezys for which he's not getting paid.
The controversial rapper said that the sportswear company is trying to "rape" him as an artist.
Adidas previously cut ties with Ye after his hate speech tirade in 2022 on social media.

Rapper Ye tore into Adidas in several Instagram posts on Monday evening, accusing his old sponsor-partner of selling "fake" Yeezys when the sportswear brand released a new version of the sneakers.
