What Happened to Kanye West?

Now? It's anti Jewish stuff. When he was anti white that's when he was being a good boy.

George Bush doesn't care about black people Kanye West.

What does that mean? Kanye is very successful and very screwed up. What does his skin color have to do with that?

It's a tongue and cheek reference to a thing that happened in pop culture. You apparently missed it. A search engine would help.

This happened.

Adidas said on Tuesday that it is cutting ties with Kanye West, ending what may have been the most significant corporate fashion partnership of the rapper and designer’s career after he made a series of antisemitic remarks and embraced a slogan associated with white supremacists that earned him widespread condemnation.

Adidas, which began collaborating with Ye, as Mr. West is now known, nearly a decade ago, after he left Nike, has long weathered public barbs from the rapper. Its partnership with Yeezy, Ye’s company, which encompasses sneakers and clothing, is estimated to be worth billions, making it among the largest sources of Ye’s wealth.

For Adidas, working with Ye gave the company a boost of creative cool and credibility that helped attract high-fashion collaborators like Gucci and Balenciaga.

“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the company said in a statement. “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”

The company, based in Germany, said it would terminate the partnership immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop payments to Ye and his companies. The move was expected to subtract up to 250 million euros ($246 million) from the company’s profit this year, it said.

The German sportswear giant is the latest company to cut ties with Mr. West, now known as Ye, after his antisemitic remarks. Ending the partnership is expected to hurt company profits.
