Famed businessman and talent agent Ari Emanuel wrote an op-ed for the Financial Times about Kanye West's many anti-Semitic comments that was published on Wednesday, October 26.
"Apple and Spotify, which host West’s music, whoever organizes West’s tours, and Adidas, which collaborates with West on his fashion line, should all stop working with him,” wrote Emanuel. “Silence is dangerous."
But Adidas did stop working with Ye because of his statements, and the rapper revealed how much money he's lost due to the partnership ending.
“Ari Emmanuel, I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I’m still alive,” wrote Ye on Thursday, October 27. “This is love speech. I still love you. God still loves you. The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”
Ye's message comes after he showed up at Skechers' headquarters in Manhattan Beach, California unannounced and was escorted out. So, his cancellation continues.
