“I Lost 2 Billion Dollars In One Day And I’m Still Alive” – Kanye West Speaks About Brands Cutting Ties With Him

Kanye West has reacted to losing his billionaire status after being dropped by Adidas and several other brands because of his anti-Semitic remarks on the Jewish.

Taking to his Instagram page, the rapper wrote he lost 2 billion dollars in 1 day but he is still alive.
He added: “The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”

In an earlier post, Kanye also shared an article claiming his Yeezy brand cut ties with him.

 
“Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West,” the headline reads.

In the caption, Kanye wrote: “Had to cut ties bro.”

His caption got several laughing emojis from his supporter Candace Owens.

This comes after multiple brands cut ties with the rapper.
The brands that have cut ties with Kanye so far include: Balenciaga, MRC (the entertainment studio shelved an already finished Ye documentary), his talent agency CAA, Adidas, Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald, Foot Locker, The RealReal, T.J. Maxx, Madame Tussauds.
Also, his school, Donda Academy, was affected as they were dropped from a high school tournament because of Kanye’s utterances.

Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, is staying markedly silent after self-destructing his partnership with German sportswear giant Adidas—a move that reportedly left a $1.5 billion dent in his net worth.

Ye’s net worth without Adidas is now around $400 million, according to new reports from Forbes, as the market valuation of Yeezy, Ye’s sneaker and apparel business, has plummeted after losing its partnerships with Gap and Adidas.

Ye first made an appearance on Forbes’ Billionaire List in April 2020 and has prided himself on his self-made billionaire status, most of which hinged on Yeezy’s successful partnership with Adidas.
