Kanye West took the stage in China over the weekend for his "Vultures" listening event, where he didn't hold back his feelings towards Adidas. During the event, West provocatively held up a middle finger as his fans chanted "F**k Adidas." He then joked, "I hope that was okay," before launching into a performance of his iconic track, "All Falls Down" from his 2004 album, *The College Dropout*. This act was a nod to China's strict laws on obscenity.
This isn't the first time West has publicly criticized Adidas. In August, he led a similar chant during another "Vultures" event in South Korea. Adidas severed ties with West in October 2022 following his antisemitic tirade on social media. Earlier this year, West made headlines again for his Instagram rant against the company, claiming they were suing him for over $200 million
The Adidas diss wasn't the only highlight of the event. West also brought his four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—on stage to perform "Everybody." His wife, Bianca Censori, captured the moment from the VIP section. The kids have been joining West on several international stops in recent months.
