Ye and his brand are going downhill. First came the controversial scene where Ye wore a “White Lives Matter” sweatshirt at the YEEZY fashion show. After that, many brands like Balenciaga and Adidas dropped the Grammy-winning rapper because of his anti-Semitic comments. Kanye’s comments against the Jews in an interview and a tweet was insensitive. However, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR decided to stand by his friend. Brown is the president of Donda Sports, a sports marketing agency that Kanye ‘Ye’ West owns.
