Adidas won a court case over claims it hid Kanye West’s misconduct, with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stating investors should have understood the risks of working with celebrities like Ye.

The lawsuit claimed Adidas failed to disclose warnings about Ye’s behavior, causing stock prices to drop when the partnership ended in 2022.

The Adidas-Yeezy partnership, which started in 2013, generated $1.7 billion in revenue by 2021, but collapsed in 2022 due to troubling workplace incidents and anti-Semitic remarks by Ye.

Kanye West faced criticism for making anti-Semitic comments, leading companies like Adidas, Gap, and JP Morgan to cut ties with him.

Despite being sued by investors, Adidas successfully defended itself in court, with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in its favor.
