Adidas has ended its partnership with Beyoncé, reported the Wall Street Journal citing sources familiar with the matter.
If this is confirmed then this will be the second high profile split between Adidas and a celebrity partner. The first one being Kanye West, the German sportswear giant ended the partnership over his antisemitic comments.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, who was the first to report that the American pop star is cutting ties with Adidas said last Thursday that this decision was taken mutually due to differences in creativity.
