Was your morning paper a little different this morning? If yes, you have Kanye West thank. The rapper-designer has put ads on the front page of a few national newspapers on Friday to promote his line Yeezy for Adidas. The ad contains the words "we love" in 11 different languages, as well as a photo of the brand's latest advertising campaign. West posted photos of the papers, which include the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Detroit Free Press, and more, on his Instagram account Thursday night before the ads were posted.

Alas, the newspaper industry is still dying, which may explain why Adidas and West were so easily able to seize the front pages of many national newspapers. The Miami Herald posted a warning of nature on his Instagram page, letting readers know that yes, it is still a newspaper, and no, it was not bought by Kanye West.
"The recovery of the newspaper? No, we have not received a new design, "reads the legend. "@KanyeWest has released full-page ads in several publications today, including the Miami Herald. The envelope features the words "We love" in different languages to promote its @adidas line. (Your regularly scheduled news is inside.)
