Kanye West has ripped Adidas to smithereens in an Instagram direct message claiming that everything that the behemoth design company has done, almost everything regarding Yeezy Day is without the man's approval, that is, West himself. Adidas' fourth annual Yeezy Day, on Tuesday, August 2, saw the release of new products through their deal with the rapper, but it looks like the man behind the day itself is beyond upset.

Working with Adidas since 2013, the 45-year-old rapper has earned himself a fortune. But West is extremely dissatisfied and it was clear in the unprovoked direct message he sent to Complex on Instagram. The message reads: "Adidas made up the Yeezy Day idea without my approval and then went and brought back older styles without my approval." Kanye West continued: "(Adidas) picked colors and named them without my approval and hired people that worked for me without my approval stole my colorways without my approval stole my styles and material approaches without my approval took talent on the production side and sprinkled them through Adidas Originals without my approval."
