Kanye West has shared another grim post on Instagram, joking that Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted is dead

Weeks after he was forced to delete a similar upload about Pete Davidson, the Praise God rapper returned to the social media platform, reacting to the news that Kasper will be stepping down from his post in 2023.

Taking to his profile, the 45-year-old posted a fake New York Times front page, complete with the headline: ‘Kasper Rorsted also dead at 60.’

The dad-of-four took further aim at the businessman in the fine print, while bringing Kid Cudi into the mix once again.

‘I know what you’re thinking… who is Kasper?,’ he added. ‘But even less importantly, who is Kid Cudi?’

The post is still visible on Kanye’s page at the time of writing, with the caption: ‘God Loves Us.’

The post is currently still visible on Ye’s page

Kasper’s departure from Adidas was confirmed last week, six years after he first joined the sports brand.

He is set to hand over his duties next year, and will remain in charge until a replacement has been ushered in.

Thomas Rabe, supervisory board chairman, announced the news in a statement via Bloomberg; ‘After three challenging years that were marked by the economic consequences of the COVID-19-pandemic and geo-political tensions, it is now the right time to initiate a CEO transition and pave the way for a restart.

Ye has previously taken aim at Adidas on social media, claiming that the brand produced a shoe that was a ‘blatant copy’ of his Yeezy slides – something bosses have not publicly addressed.

He deleted the post soon after.

He branded the move ‘disrespectful’ and urged Kasper to ‘come talk’ to him about the designs – but it is not clear whether a conversation took place.

The Grammy-winner made headlines just last month when he celebrated the news that his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, had split from former partner Pete, who he refers to as Skete.

In a post which was removed shortly after, he used the same NYT front page format, with the fake headline instead reading: ‘Skete Davidson dead at age 28.’

‘Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers,’ a message at the bottom added.

It was later revealed that Kim had begged her ex to take the picture down, and was left upset behind the scenes.

‘Kim has tried to get Kanye to take it down and has vigorously defended Pete,’ an insider told us.

‘She very much cares for him and will continue to defend him.’
