Kanye and Adidas have another ongoing lawsuit.

Adidas unceremoniously ended its partnership with Kanye West and his Yeezy brand last year and there have been ongoing legal matters ever since. The first dealt with over $1 billion worth of leftover Yeezy products that were unsold at the time of the partnership ending. After a class action lawsuit from shareholders Adidas ultimately made the decision to sell the rest of their inventory.

A new lawsuit deals with $100 million from a marketing fund Adidas gave Kanye West for marketing his Yeezy products. According to Uproxx, the companies court filings claim that the funds were misused by West. Additionally they claim that $75 million of the funds ended up in various bank accounts of West's that they weren't supposed to. Adidas has requested that the accounts be frozen during ongoing litigation but unfortunately for the company the freeze was denied as the dispute is in private arbitration. West's lawyers are responding with claims the the company stole Yeezy denies to create lower priced shoes.

This isn't the only ongoing lawsuit Kanye West is dealing with. He's also working through litigation relating to his Donda Academy.
