West faced the most damage as he lost his billionaire status after Adidas cut ties with the rapper. Major multinational brands like Balenciaga, the Gap, J.P. Morgan bank, and Def Jam also parted ways with him. His talent agent, CAA, also dropped him. His net worth has plummeted from $1.5 billion to $400 million recently after Adidas pulled out. But still, Ye has refused to back down and continues to express his hateful thoughts.
West’s music has also taken enormous hits as his popularity went down by 13% on AirPlay and 23% on streaming platforms. Most of the world has stood tall against the hateful comments made by Ye. However, some anti-semitic and neo-nazi groups have used West’s comments as an excuse to surface and create a sense of hatred on the streets.
