Forbes reported in February 2023 that Ivy Park failed to meet sales set by Adidas. In 2022, the brand was expected to make over $250 million (R4 541 050 000,00) but only recorded $40 million (R726 946 000,00).

The revenue was considered a loss for the company since Beyoncé earned $20 million (R363 284 000,00) a year through the partnership.

Netizen's opinions split after Beyoncé parted ways with Adidas

After @PopBase tweeted the news, peeps weighed in. Many people agreed that Adidas made the right decision since Ivy Park wasn't selling, but Bey's fans fought hard, claiming their fave didn't need the sportswear company anyway.

@honesttakez said:

"Adidas doesn’t need her anyway. She hasn’t had any real influence since 2014."

"No shade but fashion isn't her lane, and that's ok. Dereon failed, Ivy park met the same fate, and she has no personal style (especially "street"). She looks good in stage costumes and on most red carpets because she's pretty and in great shape."

@rxalistic posted:

"I mean Ivy Park tanked."

@shutupgei replied:

"Let's be honest: the clothes were horrible and expensive. Naming the brand after your kid's name isn't the best idea. Nobody wants to say, "I'm wearing lvy Park". She's a great singer, but not a good designer."

@adrianlittles commented:

"Oh, thank God. Beyoncé doesn’t need any of these brands."

@Abelpter wrote:

"Beyoncé is her own boss. It would be impossible for her to work as an employee of anyone."

@Greendress added:

"Not surprised at all. The designs were horrible."
