Adidas CEO says Kanye should be forgiven

In a previous report from Briefly News, Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden stirred controversy by suggesting that Kanye West should be forgiven for his antisemitic comments, emphasising West's creativity in music and street culture during an interview.

Gulden clarified that he doesn't view West as a bad person but acknowledged that his previous antisemitic remarks had led to the cancellation of contracts with major companies.

Social media users expressed shock and mixed reactions to the CEO's remarks, with some demanding an apology from Adidas on behalf of Kanye West.
