Kanye west’s recent outburst cost him to lose his partnership with big labels
In a recent outburst of inappropriate behaviour, including anti-Semitic comments, Kanye West is receiving a lot of backlash from fans and big labels. The star has managed to lose his partnership with Adidas – after he commented that Adidas “Raped and Stole” his designs after placing their Yeezy partnership under review – his partnership with Balenciaga, and his label G.O.O.D. Music is supposedly no longer a part of Def Jam Recordings.
Two weeks ago, Kanye had been begging to get out of his contract with Adidas. He had posted parts of his contract, and now he is out of it. Many fans, even fellow stars have had a lot to say about Kanye’s recent actions. According to reality tv star, Masika Kalysha, Ye might be smarter than everyone thinks. She tweeted “The white lives matter didn’t do it nor did the George Floyd comments because they don’t give af about black ppl.”
Since these events have taken place, Kanye has apologised to the Jewish community for his comments and explained that God did not call for him to alienate them. The black community was furious, and comments (on Instagram) such as “so where’s his apology to all the black people he offended including the family of George Floyd” had been made, questioning Kanye and whether the situation has anything to do with race. Is Kanye West against his own race?
Fans believe that Kanye West’s apology is not sincere and that he is only reacting to losing 2 billion dollars in one day, making his apology money driven. What will the “billionaire” do now that he has caused such disruption in his own life?
