Teyana Taylor dropped from Adidas? Up and coming R&B singer and G.O.O.D. Music artist Teyana Taylor made headlines when she got into a pretty crazy Twitter beef with Rihanna. Both took shots at one another over bank accounts and tarnished reputations in the industry, but Teyana angered many when she made a nasty joke out of Rihanna’s violent past with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Taylor posted a photo of Rihanna’s battered face on her Twitter account and insinuated that she would cause her more injuries than Chris did if she caught her on the streets, and it didn’t take too long for an online petition demanding Adidas to end their endorsement deal with the singer to start going viral.

After thousands of signatures were reached, it is now being rumored that Teyana was dropped from the sneaker company.

Teyana was supposed to be dropping some shoes November 29, the Harlem GLC: “Dark Knight” sneaker, but it appears the release didn’t happen. Some sneaker heads even took to Twitter in droves and claimed they called local stores and were told the shoes will not be released:

Teyana Taylor herself hinted that the deal has been terminated via her Twitter account:

Interestingly enough, Teyana’s mentor Kanye West just inked a deal with Adidas reportedly for $10 million to design some sneakers since things went south with Nike.

Adidas hasn’t released a statement on Teyana’s official status with the company, but Rihanna’s fans have been in her mentions making it clear that they plan to close any other door that opens for her.

  1. Karma. When you’re a small fish trying to become a big fish, you can’t pop off like you got the reinforcement the big fish has. Now she can fill out an application at Wal-Mart. They’re always hiring.

    1. Umm Rihanna started it, I don”t care if she is a small fish or a big fish all she did was defend herself. I like Teyana, I think she is gorgeous and has style for days. If Rihanna popping like everyone makes her seem and everyone keeps saying Teyana is irrelevant why did Rihanna come for her??? Why she worried about what Teyana doing since she so irrelevant? Million dollar question that I want to know

      1. Rihanna didn’t start anything. Teyana has been coming for her since Chris puts his hands on Rih. She made a video and talked a whole bunch of mess about Rihanna and blamed her for what Chris did to her. She taunted her for years and Rihanna said nothing. So actually Rihanna was just defending herself by just reposting a friend’s video. Teyana made a fool out of herself and mocked domestic violence. She’s stupid and deserved to lose her deal. But it’s ok. She was never going to blow up anyway. She was always destined to be a nobody who hangs out with another nobody, Karrueche Tran.

    1. Nah, she loses endorsements too. Don’t forget Nivea dropped her because they said she was acting too trashy. But she has since hooked up with companies that are more adult focused.

      1. That deal was just for the tour when the tour finish the deal was finished. The new ceo. Decided to do something different

        1. Lies. The new ceo said with his own mouth he didn’t renew because Rihanna’s image is too raunchy in an interview. And Rihanna dragged him on Instagram for it too. Y’all stay lying like the facts ain’t out there.

  2. Oh wow. I didn’t think either of them would get dropped. Teyana did take it too far though. Hopefully she learns from all of this.

  3. Well it was a bad look for her to make fun of domestic violence the way she did. I can’t say I’m surprised.

  4. Man this is wrong. Rihanna started this entire mess did Teyana go to far maybe. But once you come for someone all bets are off Teyana had every right to say and do what she did. For her to lose an endorsement is ridiculous. Adidas is weak as hell for caving. But since they have signed Kanye they will get all that’s coming to them. Now watch every time Rihanna starts some ish these delusional stans are going to start attacking people endorsements. I’m totally disgusted with this mess.

  5. Not to worry…Rihanna is making so many enemy’s that her time will come……….She won’t be on top forever. Those same people that you stomp on, on the way up…are the same people you meet on the way down….

  6. I agree. Rihanna is all that now but come 7 years from now her reign will be beyond over and her petty a-s Navy will stan or should I say worship another artist

  7. all that prettiness wasted on violent, thug mentalities. why does petty beef exist only in rap and black music? artists from no other genre of music behaves this way. black people tear themselves down, around every corner, no matter how many stepping stones are dropped at their feet.
