Popular rapper, Kanye West and Adidas have settled their years-long legal battle. Recall that the company cut ties with Ye back in 2022 over his antisemitic comments, and fans have been reacting.
According to Reuters CEO, Bjørn Gulden, both parties have reached an out-of-court settlement that concluded all of the cases between them, and the agreement didn’t include any payments.
He added that no party is owing nothing henceforth, and whatever relationship they once had is history.
His words, “Both parties said we don’t need to fight anymore and withdrew all the claims. The agreement didn’t include any payments. No one owes anybody anything anymore. So whatever was is history.
There were tensions on many issues, and… when you put the claims on the right side and you put the claims on the left side, both parties said we don’t need to fight anymore and withdrew all the claims.”
WOW.
