Kanye West, or Ye as he is officially known has been all over the news this year. He initially made the headlines because of his social media antics following his separation from his wife Kim Kardashian.

West’s social media antics have landed him in trouble more often than not. A few weeks ago, he made some anti-semitic comments that triggered a huge outrage around the world.

Interestingly enough, his comments urged Adidas to cut all ties with him. This is the biggest reason why Ye lost his billionaire status. Former NBA champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a practical solution to deal with West.

On his recent blog, the Los Angeles Lakers legend requested people to unfollow the rapper on his social media handles. This way, West’s controversial comments will not reach a wider audience.
