The pair exchanged heated words on the field during City's disappointing 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Saturday, prompting media suggestions of unrest between them.
Kompany was not the only City player to feel the wrath of the "passionate" Adebayor at Molineux but the former Arsenal striker has no qualms about making his opinions known.
"Sometimes you have to shout and bawl to try and get a reaction from your team-mates and sometimes that means getting them worked up in order to do the right thing for the team," he told the club's official website.
"That's what great teams do, but it is all about passion and desire to do well and if Vincent and I are guilty of that, neither of us have a problem with it.
"We are really good friends and we have had a good laugh about some of the things that were written about us yesterday. It was funny because it is totally inaccurate.
"Vinnie and I love this club and are passionate about helping to make it successful, so if that means the odd disagreement, so be it.
"Trust me, if I have to have arguments with all my team-mates every single weekend in order to help us win the game, I'll be doing exactly that and I'd want the same in return."
Adebayor, who has scored four goals in six starts this term, has had his chances somewhat limited this term due to the rampant form of City's top scorer Carlos Tevez.
A thigh problem for the Argentine star has allowed Adebayor back into the picture and, after getting on the score-sheet against Mick McCarthy's men, he will do his utmost to cement his place in the side.
"I am hungry to play and haven't had that many chances to play this season so I was determined to enjoy myself at Wolves and if people think I played well, then I'm happy, but I'd be much happier if we'd have gone on to win the game," he said.
"My form is good and I'm feeling great, but I need to play to get some momentum and hopefully I will be able to do that now.
"I've been given the chance to play in the last few weeks and I've scored four goals which is great for my confidence and if I am involved against Lech Poznan and West Brom, I'm confident I can continue to score goals."
