The past few months have seen some really brutal and dramatic bans in the history of humanity. And now the ban hammer has fallen upon none other than Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), who was banned by Adidas for saying antisemitic things on a recent podcast.

This has taken the attention of the entire industry towards him, as reports now claim that he has now lost millions of dollars, dropping him from the list of the world’s top billionaires in just two weeks. And now streamer Hasan Piker, who is also a political commentator, says that Ye was wrong for commenting like this.

Although there are some really harsh commentaries on the fact, Hasan Piker, on the other hand, has a different take on the matter. In his recent stream, he was seen reacting to the controversy and the comments that Ye made during his podcasts and interviews regarding Adidas.

In a reaction to Kanye West saying that Adidas can’t drop him (from his Yeezy trainer shoes) for saying anything anti-Semitic, Piker said, “This was actually really interesting when you think about it. I mean why was he so f**king cocky about this? On Drink Champs, he said these words and I thought it was really strange that he said these words.”

He further reacted by saying, “Anytime somebody gave him a helping hand, he just f**king slapped it away. I mean, the Lex Friedman conversation is like pretty informative. It’s pretty instructive on the way that he operates where you got a dude who’s like offering him light pushback…on the anti-Semitic stuff, especially as a Jew himself, and it’s basically like ‘dude you got to stop this’. And he just even on the lightest pushback he just goes…crazy. He basically, to his face said…’ you’re a Jew and I don’t trust you.'”

What are the drawbacks that Ye has to face?

After the recent comments by Kanye West, he had to face a lot of backlash from both fans and the general public. According to reports, Kanye ‘Ye’ West had his contract terminated from both Adidas and Balenciaga. Along with that, his lawyer Camille Vasquez, who also represented Johnny Depp during Depp vs Heard trial, has also dropped his case.

Reportedly, Vogue and Anna Wintour have cut ties with him, and his talent agency, CAA, has also walked away from his presence. Notably, his Stadium shows have been canceled and his documentary, which was made by MRC studio, has now been shelved for an indefinite period of time.
