Looks like there is room for only one member of G.O.O.D. Music over at the Adidas camp. After celebrating her deal with Adidas just a few short months ago, Teyana Taylor will have to mourn the loss after the company confirmed dropping her seemingly due to her and Rihanna’s short beef.

“We have ended our relationship with Teyana Taylor and do not have any upcoming product launches with her,” a senior PR rep told MadameNoire. “All I can say is that adidas partner with athletes and artists who blend well with our brand values. We evaluate our relationships with partners based on the values we hold at adidas and we don’t condone violence of any kind.”

Teyana and Rihanna got into a slight digital tussle after RiRi posted a video mocking the young rapstress. The Harlem-bred artist called out the Bajan princess for being a “cyber-bully” in an interview with Hot 97. Shortly afterwards, a petition began floating around demanding Adidas to drop Teayana after she posted a picture of Rihanna’s beaten face on her Twitter.

While the statement mentions violence, Adidas did not confirm whether their decision stemmed from the petition or the digital tiff between the two artists. –Alley Olivier
