The Business World Against Kanye West’s Hate Speech
Kanye West, the famous American singer, has been known for several years among Americans and people worldwide for his bizarre behavior, strange statements, and destructive actions.
This rapper, a supporter of Trump, was exploited by the former U.S. President and Republicans during the 2020 election due to his opportunism and naivety.
The Republicans convinced him to run for president, and naturally, their goal was to reduce Biden’s votes in various states. That story ended in a political and social fiasco and dealt a heavy blow to West’s already tarnished reputation. Now, Kanye has become known for his anti-Semitic remarks and writings for months.
These statements have been warmly received by extremist racist groups, who spread his words in various forms to support hatred against Jews and even distribute them in pamphlets. Various businesses and companies have already cut ties with Kanye West, and his concerts are being canceled.
The number of terminated collaborations and canceled contracts is increasing day by day, and it has now become clear that Adidas’s termination of their partnership with West has caused him a billion-dollar loss. This one instance alone has cost West between one to one and a half billion dollars.
