Los Angeles, CA – A die-hard Kanye West fan has found a unique way to turn his frustration with Adidas into a lucrative opportunity. The fan is auctioning off a signed album entitled "F*** ADIDAS," showcasing his disdain for the popular brand. The album in question is Kanye’s expletively-signed 2010 masterpiece "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," a rare gem that Moments in Time has placed on the market for a steep price of over $500,000.
What sets this album apart is the iconic moment captured on camera when Kanye defiantly marked the vinyl with those bold words. The incident occurred in February outside a hotel in Paris when Kanye, accompanied by Bianca Censori, was met by a crowd of fans chanting "F*** Adidas." This act of rebellion followed Kanye’s public accusations against the brand, asserting that they had infringed upon his creative control by releasing Yeezy sneakers without his approval.
The fan’s dedication to Kanye finally paid off after a ten-year pursuit to meet his idol. After waiting for three hours that day, he seized the opportunity to have his album signed, subsequently attracting waves of attention and offers for the now valuable vinyl. The fan’s viral video of the encounter sparked a newfound realization of the album’s potential worth, transforming it into a sought-after collector’s item.
Kanye’s tumultuous relationship with Adidas began two years prior when the brand severed ties with him over controversial remarks, emphasizing their stance against hate speech. The fan’s symbolic act of defiance through the signed album encapsulates the ongoing tension between Kanye and Adidas, highlighting the complexities of artistic freedom and corporate partnerships in the music industry. Through this unconventional auction, the fan not only expresses his unwavering support for Kanye but also underscores the power of fandom in transcending boundaries and creating tangible symbols of devotion.
