Earlier this week Kanye West made comments on TMZ Live about slavery, stating, “When you hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice.” Of course, West’s comments lit up the internet, and backlash for the rapper’s comments was swift.
Some called for Adidas—the brand that West works closely with —to drop him. A petition even circulated online. Adidas still has no plans, at the moment, to drop the rapper and designer.
