.It’s hard to imagine a celebrity like Kanye West going broke, but it turns out he’s a lot closer to that reality than we ever imagined!
After losing several million-dollar business ventures, Kanye West is speaking out.
Just two years ago, Kanye West seemed to have everything he could ever wish for, he was married to Kim Kardashian with four beautiful children, he was a fashion mogul with his Yeezy brand, worth £1.7billion and made a bid for the US Presidency.
Sending a message? Fans believe Harry Styles took a stand against Adidas prior to the sportswear giant cutting ties with Kanye West following the rapper’s anti-Semitic remarks.
As expected, Adidas yesterday formally cut its ties with Kanye West, announcing it was ending production of all the Yeezy branded products it has made via its partnership with the rapper.West’s relationships with some of his business partners in the fashion domain were already deteriorating before his recent spate of controversial and anti-semitic statements.Adidas, which has been working with West since 2013 – with the first trainers under the Adidas Yeezy brand being launched in 2015 – announced it was reviewing its long-standing partnership with the rapper earlier this month.The sportswear firm’s current deal with West was reportedly due to run through to 2026, but yesterday it confirmed it was terminating the partnership with immediate effect. This follows West’s recent claim in a controversial Drink Champs interview that “I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can’t drop me”.“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech”, the company said in a statement.
Kanye West is no longer a billionaire.
Another one bites the dust.
In what may be the toughest blow, ego-wise, in the fallout from Kanye West’s antisemitic rants last week, Forbes announced today that the rapper is no longer on its glitzy list of the world’s billionaires. A chief cause for the change was Adidas ending its relationship today with Ye, as he is now known. He had been among the first hip-hop moguls to make the list.
Bye-bye, billionaire status. Kanye West‘s net worth has reportedly dropped significantly since losing his Adidas deal amid his anti-Semitic remarks.
Let’s all say it together — F**KING FINALLY!
It’s over. Adidas has announced its decision to part ways with Kanye West in the wake of the rapper’s anti-Semitic remarks and other offensive comments.
