Jake Paul is currently preparing for an explosive comeback with a showdown against MMA legend Anderson Silva. Meanwhile, things have not been too good for rapper and record producer, Kanye ‘Ye’ West, after his slew of controversial comments. And Paul, on the other hand, was quick to share his thoughts on the issue.

Ye’s statements cost him dearly with major brands cutting ties with him. Adidas, with whom he had a long-time collaboration, distanced itself from the controversial rapper. In a recent press release, the company backed its decision by saying, “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.”
I hope Adidas gives all of the Kanye inventory to underprivileged kids around the world for free.

Notably, ‘Yeezy’ was a fashion collaboration between the rapper and the brand, which was notable for its high-end sneakers.
In a tweet, Paul shared his thoughts on the brands distancing themselves from the rapper.

He mentioned that Adidas should donate Ye’s inventory to underprivileged children around the globe.
It should be mentioned that Adidas was not the only brand that cut ties with Ye. In fact, brands like GAP and Balenciaga also did the same.
Fans share their thoughts on the statement made by Jake Paul
Fans were intrigued by Jake Paul’s statement about Ye. And a lot of fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the same.
their (((accounting department))) will suggest just that so they can have a hefty write-off on their taxes. 🤏 🎩

User @Tomas_Menos felt like Adidas might do the same for a tax write-off.
Why don’t you just buy them and give them away for free?

Why don’t you buy out the remaining product and do that?
— Dexter Granderson (@dexgranderson) October 25, 2022
But a few fans felt it would be better if Paul buys the stock and donates it instead.

They never will, they benefit from slave labor Jake-san. I could tell you more about the ills of this world. Just join my discord bud and we can have good talks while raging at NHL 23 aka the worst NHL since 15. Good luck with your fight, Jake-kun.

Meanwhile, a few users wished to shift their focus to the fact most high-end brands produce their products in sweatshops.
Adidas cut ties with Kanye but watch them still profit off of Yeezy’s 🤔

Amazing idea but there’s no chance a billion dollar corporation is about to give their stuff away. They’re gonna find some way to make a buck off it any way they can
— Chuckles (@Chvck1es) October 26, 2022
A few fans however felt that Adidas might not donate the inventory. And even mentioned that they would still profit from Yeezy products.

Stop saying things I agree with. You are becoming less unbearable (but then you do something cringe like the fat suit and all is right again in the world)
