Especially since he quickly deleted the post, Kanye West’s latest Instagram post left many scratching their heads. On Friday (March 31), he posted a picture of a man with no caption, and many in the comments had no idea who he was. Thanks to some sleuths and more knowledgeable sources online, fans identified the person as Mark Miner, Vice President and Creative Director at Adidas. As of writing this article, it’s unclear why the Chicago rapper would post this, and we’re probably not getting answers anytime soon. However, considering the recent news that a former Yeezy employee sued Ye, maybe there’s something deeper in his post.
Furthermore, Dora Szilagyi, who claimed to be a Director of Product Innovation at the company, also claimed that she never got a severance package that the mogul owed her. Not only that, but she says he made her quit her job at Adidas and would get $275,000 if fired without cause. Upon that happening in December of 2021, Szilagyi allegedly never received the package according to her lawsuit. In fact, she believes Kanye never intended to pay her in the first place, just rope her in to leave a more secure position.

Given Adidas’ massive profit losses, unsold inventory, and other complications as a result of them dropping Ye, maybe this post was another way to publicly instigate them back into a conversation. However, the fact that he deleted it so promptly indicates that something may have happened behind the scenes. As his social media page proved to be quite erratic this week with a bizarre apology post regarding Jonah Hill, maybe this won’t be the last we hear from the 45-year-old on the Gram these days.
Speaking of these days, Kanye’s been relatively low-key compared to the explosive statements of last year that rendered his public favor at an all-time low. Between paparazzi run-ins and outings with wife Bianca Censori, he seems less keen to make too much of a scene. While people still look for any glimpse to him possible, posts like these point to consistently inconsistent behavior. As such, only time will tell how his career continues and how relevant he’ll remain in the public eye. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.
