Kanye West Continues His Instagram Rant and Suggests Interest in ABG

Kanye West is still going off about his footwear and design ambitions on Instagram. And today, he’s brought Authentic Brands Group into the mix. The rapper-turned-fashion mogul, now days into a ranting streak on Instagram, suggested on Monday an interest in partnering with Authentic Brands Group, whose roster of brands includes Forever 21, Barneys New York, J.C. Penney, Reebok, Muhammad Ali, Shaquille O’Neal, Marilyn Monroe and more. “I need a shoe company like how Jamie Salter bought Reebok,” West wrote in a Monday post to Instagram, referring to the CEO of Authentic Brands Group, which acquired Reebok from Adidas in a deal that closed earlier this year. In another post a few hours later, West outlined his goal to have his contract with Adidas terminated and to have the company pay him $2 billion in damages and for “stealing” his IP (intellectual property). ABG declined to comment. FN has reached out to Yeezy and Adidas for a comment. A screenshot of one of West’s Instagram post.
