TL;DR Summary

A new report from The New York Times reveals a decade of alleged harassment and antisemitic behavior by rapper Kanye West during his partnership with Adidas. Employees claim that West drew a swastika on a sneaker design, praised Hitler's use of propaganda, and told a Jewish Adidas executive to hang a photo of Hitler in his kitchen and kiss it daily. The report also details sexually explicit comments towards female staffers, forcing employees to watch pornography in meetings, and misuse of marketing funds. Despite the behavior, Adidas' C-suite reportedly sought to appease West for the sake of their bottom line.
