To many, A pair of mayonnaise flavored shoes were insensitive to say the least. As per Hypebeast the sporting goods manufacturer definitely took a cultural loss when it came to their Black History Month collection. Included in the drop was a UltraBOOST model which in theory would make sense given it is one of their most popular sellers. Problem was it was an all white silhouette AND was named “UNCAGED”. Naturally the move got a huge side eye from sneaker enthusiasts and anybody with a bit of common sense alike. Considering the set were made in the spirit of “Celebrating Black Culture” adidas released a formal statement apologizing for the huge faux pas. “Adidas released a new collection in celebration of Black History Month featuring designs inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. It includes footwear and apparel across a variety of categories. Toward the latter stages of the design process, we added a running shoe to the collection that we later felt did not reflect the spirit or philosophy of how adidas believes we should recognize and honor Black History Month. After careful consideration, we have decided to withdraw the product from the collection.” The sneaker has since been pulled. Other feet pieces included in the collection include re-invisioned versions of the Dame 5, Harden Vol. 3 and a Harlem inspired UltraBOOST.

Source: NBC / Getty 1999 was huge year for lots of people, for various reasons. Most Americans were losing their s***, figuratively and literally, over the idea that the world would end in the year 2000 . Either that or robots would take over and we would be their servants — which is kind of true when you think about our addictions to cell phones these days. It’s still hard to believe that ’99 was 20 years ago though. The hashtag #ItsBeen20YearsSince proves that time is flying by and things are changing, quickly. #ItsBeen20YearsSince we were really partying like it was 1999. — Catie Larson (@CatieLarson) January 23, 2019 #ItsBeen20YearsSince I checked out that library book and never returned it. pic.twitter.com/O644eaKaA0 — Billie (@Billie_Jean00) January 23, 2019 Millennials we’re getting old guys.

It may be a tad bit premature, but it’s safe to say the following: Kanye West’s New Year’s resolution will not be to forgive and/or forget. Quite the opposite, in fact, when it comes to Drake. About two weeks after Kanye reignited his feud with Drake , because the latter dared to ask for clearance of a track from the former, Kanye has gone out and once again… … reignited his feud with Drake. In this case, the 41-year-old rapper shared a screen capture of an article that claimed that Drake, used to follow Kim Kardashian on Instagram and… … wait, there is no and . That’s it. That was enough to get Kanye off. “I never knew till this morning that Drake followed my wife on Instagram back in September,” West wrote on Twitter early Saturday, adding in consternation: “I had to bring this up because it’s the most f-cked up thing of all and I just saw it this morning. “Imagine having a problem with somebody and they follow your wife on Instagram.” A few points to make here: 1. Kanye has since deleted these Tweets. 2. Drake no longer follows Kardashian. 3. Perhaps he formerly did so because Kim so often poses naked on that social media platform. The Yeezy later designer claimed he has no ill will toward Drake, however. “We truly wish this man the best and pray that he will find the same happiness that we have,” he tweeted. “Love everyone.” Back on December 13, West went after Drake when he accused the three-time Grammy winner of attempting to contact the Kardashian-Jenner family. “Still need that apology for mentioning the 350s and trying to take food out your idols kids mouths. Been trying to meet with you for 6 months bro,” West wrote, attacking Drake as follows: “You sneak dissing on [Travis Scott] records and texting Kris [Jenner] talking about how’s the family.” Kanye even went on to allege that Drake had threatened members of his family. There was just a lot to digest here, as is so often the case with Kanye West… Eventually, Kardashian told Drake to leave her loved ones alone . And then Drake’s baby mama got herself involved . Fun times all around! For celebrity gossip outlets such as this one, at least. “@Drake never threaten my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake,” Kim wrote in defense of West at the time, adding: “My husband is the most brilliant person, the most genius person that I know. “He has broken so many boundaries, everything from music, stage design, fashion and culture and will continue to change the world.” Drake has not yet responded to Kanye’s latest rant against him. But Kardashian hasn’t really gotten any more clothed on Instagram. So Drake may soon follow her again, like most warm-blooded males, and we’ll do this whole dance all over again. This whole rivalry started after Drake seemed to name check Kardashian in the song “In My Feelings.” West then said in an Instagram video: “What I’m looking for, for my spirit to take accountability is, the fact that there’s people making rumors or thinking that you f-cked my wife, and you not saying nothing and you carrying it like that, that don’t sit well with my spirit… “You know, if I had a girlfriend from Chicago, her name was Renita and then you was married to Rihanna, I wouldn’t make no song called ‘Riri.’ So when you’re like, ‘Ah I don’t know where it comes from!’ You’re too smart for that, bro. You know where that comes from. “Don’t make no record with nothing that could be confused.”
(Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage) Kanye Goes On Rant About Drake Yeezy and Drake have had a weird cold war for the past few months since Pusha put Drake’s business out on the streets. They’ve gone back and forth over it for a while and Kanye decided to take things into his own hands on IG today. But not only Drake, but Nick Cannon and Tyson Beckford, too. Of all people. “First of all I want to address Nick Cannon. I understand that you used to date my wife but you get an interview, don’t mention my wife. If someone brings my wife up, you say ‘I respect that man, I’m not speaking on that,’” said Ye. “What I’m looking for, for my spirit to take accountability is, the fact that there’s people making rumors or thinking that you f–ked my wife, and you not saying nothing and you carrying it like that, that don’t sit well with my spirit. You know, if I had a girlfriend from Chicago, her name was Renita and then you was married to Rihanna, I wouldn’t make no song called ‘Riri.’ So when you’re like, ‘Ah I don’t know where it comes from!’ You’re too smart for that, bro. You know where that comes from. Don’t make no record with nothing that could be confused.” “I told you, I didn’t tell Pusha no information about your baby, baby mama, nothing like that, that ain’t come from me. But when you played that record for me in the studio that said, ‘Yo we got some Kylies, we got some Kendalls,’ I told you, ‘Travis is your man, don’t make no record like that. That man just had a baby with her, that’s gonna be offensive, that’s gonna be offensive to her.’” There are so many things about this that are hilarious. 1. Kanye’s face all up in the IG video like your grandpa Facetiming 2. Kanye doing this exact same thing to Wiz Khalifa about Amber Rose 3.

According to him, back in 2009/2010 at a MTV awards show, he was changing in his trailer, and right next to him was 50 Cent ‘s trailer. Inside 50 Cent’s trailer was Top Gun and Batman Forever star Val Kilmer, who supposedly was in full peeping Tom mode. Through his window, Eminem said he caught Val catching a look at him naked. It’s a strange and also kind of hilarious tale if you let Eminem explain it… pic.twitter.com/Ts1s5L5dbx — Marshall Mathers (@Eminem) May 28, 2018 Hmmm… Well, Twitter definitely had something to say about the incident.

Tyra Banks must be 75 years old…but she wants to do press…so she’s covered up all her old as fuck parts and dressed up like some kind of tiger, like it’s Halloween and I have no idea why… Maybe the tiger is her spirit animal, something she connects to, from Fresh Prince to Victoria’s Secret to TV host to “who the fuck is Tyra Banks” to Tiger… Or maybe, it’s fierce…while being a disctraction to her old as fuck parts…because she’s old as fuck…in some Halloween not on Halloween outfit… Fascinating…but only cuz she’s still go those massive tits…and massive tits are great.
