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.”
