Rapper Kanye West has faced backlash due to anti-Semitic comments he has made in recent weeks. Footwear and apparel company Adidas is the latest company to cut ties with Mr. West, who changed his name to Ye last year. In a statement to Newsweek, Adidas said it does not tolerate anti-Semitism or any other type of hate speech. Forbes said the deal was worth $1.5 billion. Other companies are also angry about the rapper’s erratic behavior and comments, and they have ended their deals with him.

On October 9, West posted a tweet that led to a major controversy. “I’m feeling a little sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going to Death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” read the tweet, which was deleted by Twitter and not pulled by the rapper, an apparent reference to the US Army readiness symbol known as Defcon.
Mr. West, a black artist who now goes to Yi, sparked controversy by wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt during Paris Fashion Week, in a misappropriation of the “Black Lives Matter” logo.
