Some even die because this behavior is so ingrained in our society. Kanye West has a right to free speech, and he has the right to spout lies and misinformation and misplaced opinions — but we as consumers have the right to fight back against this type of dangerous propaganda.”It goes on to say: “Tell the world \[Adidas does\] not want anything to do with anyone who believes that millions of Africans chose to toil the fields in bondage.”West’s relationship with Adidas began back in 2013 when he moved his popular Yeezy brand under the company’s umbrella. Adidas later announced in 2016 that they had forged a long-term working relationship with Kanye, and planned to expand the brand into apparel and retail stores.Though continued speculation as to whether or not West’s recent comments and outward support of Donald Trump will hurt the rapper’s numerous brands remains to be seen, at present, approximately 4,600 people have signed the petition and the number is only growing.–[CelebrityAccess](http://celebrityaccess.com/?ref=hypebot.com) Related articles [![](http://i.zemanta.com/377276335_80_80.jpg)](https://www.hypebot.com/kanye-west-deletes-all-of-his-tweets-about-trump/)[Kanye West Deletes All Of His Tweets About Trump](https://www.hypebot.com/kanye-west-deletes-all-of-his-tweets-about-trump/) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/376040725_80_80.jpg)](https://www.hypebot.com/kanye-west-cancels-remainder-of-saint-pablo-tour/)[Kanye West Cancels Remainder Of Saint Pablo Tour](https://www.hypebot.com/kanye-west-cancels-remainder-of-saint-pablo-tour/) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/383178151_80_80.jpg)](https://www.hypebot.com/trumpmasterflex-ai-turns-trumps-tweets-into-playlists/)[TrumpMasterFlex: AI Turns Trump's Tweets Into Playlists](https://www.hypebot.com/trumpmasterflex-ai-turns-trumps-tweets-into-playlists/) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/383584185_80_80.jpg)](https://www.stereogum.com/1993916/kanye-west-meets-with-right-wing-pundit-candace-owens/news/?ref=hypebot.com)[Kanye West Meets With Right-Wing Pundit Candace Owens](https://www.stereogum.com/1993916/kanye-west-meets-with-right-wing-pundit-candace-owens/news/?ref=hypebot.com) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/383537298_80_80.jpg)](http://cheezburger.com/5439749/kanyes-bizarre-sunken-place-tweets-are-confusing-the-crap-out-of-everyone?ref=hypebot.com)[Kanye's Bizarre 'Sunken Place' Tweets Are Confusing The Crap Out Of Everyone](http://cheezburger.com/5439749/kanyes-bizarre-sunken-place-tweets-are-confusing-the-crap-out-of-everyone?ref=hypebot.com) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/383554731_80_80.jpg)](http://hinterlandgazette.com/2018/04/chance-the-rappers-claps-back-trump-id-never-support-anyone-who-made-career-out-of-racism.html?ref=hypebot.com)[Chance the Rapper Claps Back at Trump: I'd Never Support Anyone Who Made Career Out of Racism](http://hinterlandgazette.com/2018/04/chance-the-rappers-claps-back-trump-id-never-support-anyone-who-made-career-out-of-racism.html?ref=hypebot.com) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/AWMMdpJR0FAAoAWTUUJA_80_80.jpg)](https://www.trendbaze.com.ng/50-cent-shades-the-hell-out-of-kanye-west-for-supporting-donald-trump/?ref=hypebot.com)[50 Cent Shades The Hell Out Of Kanye West For Supporting Donald Trump | TrendBaze](https://www.trendbaze.com.ng/50-cent-shades-the-hell-out-of-kanye-west-for-supporting-donald-trump/?ref=hypebot.com) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/383514503_80_80.jpg)](http://hiphopwired.com/750674/kanye-west-reportedly-revealed-opioid-addiction-to-hot-97s-ebro-still-down-with-trump/?ref=hypebot.com)[Kanye West Reportedly Revealed Opioid Addiction To Hot 97's Ebro, Still Down With Trump](http://hiphopwired.com/750674/kanye-west-reportedly-revealed-opioid-addiction-to-hot-97s-ebro-still-down-with-trump/?ref=hypebot.com) [![](http://i.zemanta.com/383544113_80_80.jpg)](https://www.stripes.com/news/us/trump-says-rapper-kanye-west-has-good-taste-for-liking-him-1.523978?ref=hypebot.com)[Trump says rapper Kanye West has 'good taste' for liking him](https://www.stripes.com/news/us/trump-says-rapper-kanye-west-has-good-taste-for-liking-him-1.523978?ref=hypebot.com)
