Announcement comes day after Adidas launches investigation into harassment allegations
The disgraced rapper and designer formerly known as Kanye West has said he plans to run for president in 2024, which would make him the second declared candidate after Donald Trump.
The declaration follows a series of scandals and far-right associations for the 45-year-old star, who now goes by Ye. The day before, the sportswear giant Adidas announced it was launching an investigation into allegations he harassed former employees. Rolling Stone magazine reported claims by Adidas employees working on the rapper’s Yeezy shoe line that he used “porn, bullying and mind games” to create a “toxic environment” at the company.
