Judge Mathis thinks Kanye West is degrading African-American with his antics — and by extension, he believes Ye makes Adidas look bad too … giving ’em every right to break up.
The TV magistrate went scorched earth on KW Friday in L.A. where he told our photog what he thought of the shoe company looking into its options as it pertains to their relationship with Ye … and according to him, they likely have the legal ground to kick him to the curb.
Of course, nobody but Adidas and Kanye know the specific terms of whatever contract they have — so all of this is totally speculative. Still, based on his experience … Mathis says there’s likely a morality clause that gives the 3-strip honchos an out if they choose.
The reason … most of these agreements, per JM, have something in them that says the individual (in this case, Kanye) can’t make the company look bad and/or exhibit behavior antithetical to their principles/mission statement — often written vaguely to give them cover.
Considering all of Kanye’s anti-Black rhetoric this week — not to mention over the last few years — Mathis believes Kanye’s crossed that line more than enough times for Adidas to pull the plug and cancel their partnership … even if that means no more Yeezys.
Mathis says Ye emboldens racists and has antagonized the Black community — so, he’s drawn a line in the sand when it comes to patronizing companies that link to Ye. In his mind, corporations and customers would be wise to distance themselves before it’s too late.
