American rapper and fashion designer Kanye West took another shot at Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted and Kid Cudi on Thursday, September 1. Kanye West created another controversy by announcing the death of Kasper Rorsted, the CEO of the sportswear firm Adidas. The 45-year-old celebrity rapper used his Instagram account to post a fake NY Times page, which talks about the death of Rorsted at 60. The post, titled God Loves Us, even has a sub-head saying I know what you're thinking –who is Kasper? The post also poses a question – asking who Kid Cudi (American rapper) is.
The star behind Flashing Lights, who underwent a legal name change to Ye last year, has been involved in separate tussles with Cudi and Rorsted for some time.
