Kanye West flips off Adidas during 'Vultures 2' listening party in China

West continues his feud with Adidas as he raises middle finger to the brand during “Vultures 2” event in Hainan, China

Kanye West brought his 'Vultures 2' listening party to Hainan, China, on Sunday, where the ongoing feud between him and Adidas took center stage once again. 

During the event, the crowd broke out into a chant of "F**k Adidas," prompting West to raise his middle finger in acknowledgment.

As the audience cheered, West humorously remarked, "I hope that was okay," referencing China's strict obscenity laws before launching into a performance of his 2004 hit, "All Falls Down." 

This isn't the first time West has publicly taken shots at the brand. Back in August, he led a similar anti-Adidas chant during a *Vultures 2* event in South Korea, where he also criticized the company for allegedly copying his Yeezy designs. 

Adidas cut ties with the rapper in October 2022 following a series of antisemitic comments he made online.

In addition to his defiant moment, West also previewed a new track, “Preacher Man,” from his upcoming project. 

The Grammy-winning artist, alongside collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, continues to use his platform to address his ongoing grievances with Adidas while keeping fans excited for his forthcoming music.
