Kanye West reacted to losing billions of dollars after his deal with Adidas was terminated.
“Ari Emmanuel, I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I’m still alive,” Kanye wrote. “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.”
Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel called on companies to stop working with the rapper.
“Those who continue to do business with West are giving his misguided hate an audience,” Emanuel wrote in a recent opinion piece in the Financial Times. “There should be no tolerance anywhere for West’s anti-Semitism.”
Emanuel also wants streaming platforms to remove Ye’s music. Even his ex-wife Kim Kardashian condemned his remarks.
“Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” she tweeted. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
