Bloomberg reports that although the legal battle between Adidas and its former partner Kanye West has largely been kept under seal, a reporter was able to get a look at court documents that reveal some key details. According to the documents, the sporting goods company claims that West was paid $100 million to market the Yeezy brand, but $75 million of those funds were illegally diverted into two bank accounts controlled by West. Apparently, the money was commingled with other funds in violation of the agreement and may have been used for West’s other projects, according to Bloomberg. Adidas has unsuccessfully attempted to freeze the funds pending the outcome of the arbitration.
