Kanye West has returned to Instagram and reacted to losing “$2 billion in one day” after his adidas contract was terminated.
The rap mogul took to social media on Thursday morning (October 27) to send a message to entertainment industry super agent Ari Emanuel after he called for companies to stop working with him.
Based on his comments, Ye doesn’t appear to be ruffled by losing such a large amount of money in a short space of time.
“Ari Emmanuel, I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I’m still alive,” Kanye wrote. “This is love speech. I still love you. God still loves you. The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”
Ari Emanuel recently wrote an op-ed for the Financial Times that condemned Kanye West’s anti-Semitism and explained the impact of companies not taking action against him.
“Apple and Spotify, which host West’s music, whoever organizes West’s tours, and Adidas, which collaborates with West on his fashion line, should all stop working with him,” he wrote. “Silence is dangerous. It allows forms of hatred and racism, including anti-Semitism, to spread and become normalized. It coarsens and degrades our society and country.”
He continued: “Those who continue to do business with West are giving his misguided hate an audience. There should be no tolerance anywhere for West’s anti-Semitism. This is a moment in history where the stakes are high and being open about our values, and living them, is essential. Silence and inaction are not an option.”
Kanye West Reportedly Shows Up To Sketchers HQ Unannounced Following Adidas Split
Among many other companies, adidas dropped Kanye West on Tuesday (October 25) due to his recent anti-Semitic comments, with the move reportedly costing him his billionaire status. According to Forbes, his net worth plummeted from $1.9 billion to $400 million.
In another Instagram post, Kanye shared a text message from his lawyer, Quinn Emanuel, detailing his rights involving adidas and Gap, who he parted ways with in September.
“As to adidas, you can start to make new designs for footwear, apparel and accessories immediately,” the message read. “As to Gap, the non-compete expires December 15, 2022. You own the Yeezy name and all the trademarks associated with Yeezy.”
Ye added in the caption: “I haven’t got super model pussy in over a month. Please send help.”
The rapper also shared a post from a parody account that said: “Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West.”
Kanye West’s Instagram account was suspended on October 8 due to anti-Semitism following a message to Diddy that read: “This ain’t a game Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me I told you this was war Now gone get you some business.”
He was later banned from Twitter for vowing to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE” in a since-removed tweet, writing: “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
What a huge chunk of money to lose!
Hes still rich. He’s got a bank full of pride
“The money is not who I am” says the guy who spent most of his career bragging about how rich he is and yelling at the people who make the forbes list on social media for not ranking his net worth high enough.
He stopped doing that since he found jesus
I think it’s crystal clear that Kanye is not a good example of being a Christian. True Christians are not anti-Semetic.
Jesus Christ came to serve. Christians, as the name say it all, must follow Christ and carry his cross. That is, to serve with humility. Not to condemn, to hate to judge. One of the commandment law is love thy neighbor. Every Chrisitan must have faith in the Lord and thus follow the Law.
I totally agree with you. Where some get it twisted is to tell the truth does not mean that you are judging someone. If you can’t speak the truth then when exactly are you allowed to tell the truth? Remember John the Baptist spoke the truth when he condemned the king for being with his brother’s wife (Just an example).
They say truth hurts, a lot of people can’t handle truth, so they go to the tel-lie-vision for the truth ???? Just saying, I did 27 years in prison for a murder I dos not do, so I understand how the system works, because I used the time I spent in there learn, learn things that they don’t teach you in school, prison was my college, ye is learning something that sparked his behavior, call it crazy, but I don’t believe he is. I think he is acting on some new found information. A lot of time people go to college and major in this minor in that, but when they get out of college they don’t continue in what they learn, life takes them in a different direction. Well not ye, when he learns something he going to follow through and let you know. I get it, let’s see how he handles things now that all the hype of what he did and how much money he will lose dies down, the real ye will emerge. Peace and love, patients
I suppose only time will tell.

Absolutely untrue, Kanye is constantly telling people “broker” than he is that he won’t listen to them. He did it just recently in both his documentary and Piers Morgan interview. If anything, since “finding Jesus”, Kanye has become more unbearable and less tolerant.
Needless to say, it’s folks like Kanye that give Christians a bad name.
I agree completely! As he’s become more Christian, he’s also become more narrow minded…
Keep in mind though Christianity is not to blame for someone that becomes narrow-minded. That’s on the individual, not true Christianity.
Can’t wait till he’s gone, the world will be a better place with one less piece of trash..
Hahaha. Too true.
No the world won’t be a better place .
“the people are who I am”.
Yeah…. That’s why you’re an idiot
Ye is everything y’all see him to be, I believe when he says he is the people, I think he is saying he is the people and no longer apart of the system that is placed on societies. Just so I am understood, I am not a ye fan, never was, but what he is doing right now STANDING UP and doing what he feels is right. I don’t condone being prejudice. But standing up to a system that devalue human life. I applaud him, now time will tell whether he is faking or about that life. Peace
“The people”? Yeah the majority of us out here making it work everyday don’t relate to an idiot with a hyper inflated ego who can’t handle that his unbearable personality and unchecked mental issues forced his wife to dip. Kanye ruined Kanye by simply being Kanye.
ya they also hated his unbearable personality and unchecked mental issues when he word a hat saying he wants his country to be great. he went on to win 2 more grammy’s. he’s also said “slavery IS a choice.” you morons take those words and think hes talking about actual slaves in the 17 and 1800’s. have you noticed he didn’t get cancelled? he says truth about the people from israel and hes immediately gone. kind of makes you think he’s right. keep drinking the kool-aid. whens the next booster scheduled?
Get your lips off Ye’s booty already.
Oh ok so you should have no problem if ppl tell the truth about blk ppl ? Like selling drugs, killing each other and so on
He’s not black, he’s a white MAGA asshole who trolls the comments daily.
Take your antisemitic dog whistles and shove em up your ass, you fascist fuck.
Beyond this point it’s safe to say Kanye and Kim K will never be in a relationship again. She clearly saw dude spiral out of control. Knowing him better than most. Those mental issues are hard to ignore.
She got with him to raise the value of her brand and left before he could finish it.
Sorry. Let me fix that. She got with him to raise the value of her brand and left before he could diminish it.
Eloquently said.
Eloquently said.
“Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West.” Bahahahaha
it might be a big joke to ye but in the larger world it’s quite sad. just seems like ever since ye mom died he’s been on a spiral – people put their trust and faith in him even though others said you can’t count on a guy like that, you can’t count on a rapper. so ye proved all those people right and there are many today who have to pick up the pieces and find new work with an x on their back. it’s very sad and you just have to look at recent picture of ye to see he’s not in his right mind his eyes are all over the place
Lost billions in one day, lost billions more weeks ago with the GAP deal, and he probably won’t get another company to work with him anytime soon. This may be the biggest L in the history of the world. And all self-inflicted too. If anyone out there suffers from mental health issues please seek help. Take your medication. Don’t end up like this fool right here.
you sound happy about it though. talking all casual about mental health as if you care about ye either way. u don’t. but to the people who did it’s quite sad. and that’s why we have to cut ye loose. he fucked up and we can’t have him around anymore. he broke the code with prejudice and he’s going to have to answer to people if he ever decides to come back. he’s done in rap – he can’t be trusted with the culture period.
What about the people who answer the phones at his office? the girls who took down his crazy ideas and made the ridiculous phone calls to whoever hoping to get someone on the phone for Ye? the young producers he gassed up taking their beats and calling them co productions what happens to those dudes? ye looking quite foolish and selfish because it’s not just him who loses. He should have never been in this position to begin with. easy come easy go I guess
True, and that’s the key word right there… SELFISH.
Kanye shouldve kept it to himself and moved in silence out of knowing and built on the low…you don’t gotta say everything or even half of what’s on your mind bruh that’s in Ecclesiastes
You took the exact thoughts out of my head. Just move in silence and connect with all the ppl that were on the same page as you then talk yo sh”t
ye is making rap dudes look stupid. I haven’t liked anything he’s done as a whole since Cruel Summer. as soon as I heard bleached asshole on pablo i switched it off. whether he can come with a good beat here and there isn’t the issue because he can. but his rhymes are vulgar and immature with no lasting literary value if that important. he’s talking like some religious maniac but has never read a book so can’t cite any sources. they like having him around as a rap mascot and he popped his lid. he’s cuckoo bananas face facts
I personally find this heart breaking. There is something so wrong in this man’s head. This isn’t about money. This is a mental health issue. I’m sure he loves his children, but if I were Kim right now, she needs to take every step possible that the law will allow to protect those children from him. If he is allowed to spend time with them it should definitely be supervised with a member of the court system.
How sad for him to lose everyone and everything that’s dear to him. I blame it on his huge inflated ego and mental issues. He must be mentally unstable at this point.
He hasn’t did anything to hurt his kids. Why should she block him from spending time with them, because he has his own opinions that are not in line with everyone else’s? GTFOH with that comment
I actually felt for him after his interview with abc then more more than a week later he does the anti semitism crap and I lost all hope. I agree with you. Dont raise those kids to be like him. Scary scary world
Nothing says “We dont control media and financial
institutions” like, well controlling the media and financial
institutions lol
He is the doing the right thing they always try to keep a black man down with knowledge talking real facts. Keep doing your thing Ye money is not everything when we got everything is that’s GOD FACTS
the thing about these public religious conversions is it’s not a joke. once you get born again no one trusts you and you have to work for pennies on the dollar. ask mase. you can’t trust anybody who will cite god as a reason for talking slick and breaking a contract. no one will do business with ye once he’s independent. no suppliers will offer credit, no one will ship his products. he thinks he’s a creative genius and that will be his downfall because he will find out no one cares either way
You actually stated the big picture here. They are doing this because they don’t want Ye to be independent. They want the control and the money. Ye is like Prince and wants freedom to maximize his potential.
Well let’s see what he can do with that $400 million he has left
You must be crazy! He has bigger platform than ever now! Kanye has held the news cycle hostage this entire week. It’s all anyone is talking about. If you don’t see how that’s worth Billions of dollars then I don’t know where you’ve been.
I know y’all are gonna delete this comment, but I’m going to tell you this anyway: Quinn Emanuel isn’t a lawyer–it’s a law firm and one of the world’s most notable, at that. Partners at the firm include John B. Quinn and Eric Emanuel, from whom the firm derives its namesake. Gotta get better at this editing.
What racist comments did President Trump make? I read MEDIA lies then look back at complete vedio. SAY TO MYSELF DAM MEDIA LIES ALOT.
Well, I saw him make fun of a disabled person on TV and referred to a black person as his black person but those weren’t his words he also owned property that the tenants sued over racism or something like that. But maybe you think that’s fake news too? Donald Trump is a straight up idiot, and had no business being the President of the United States. He couldn’t even run his company. That’s why they’re all being sued right now he doesn’t even know how to talk. He sounds like a bumbling fool and he was never my president.???
What about Donald Trump he saids racist remarks all the time and you white people still do business with him.
I hear and listen to all these comments the bottom line is it is a black man saying what he want to and feel. But not matter what people say about the black person they have never went to this extent with no one lowrating a black person and even calling them the N word. I don’t get it what is the difference between slaughtering and treating black people like animals and this man saying all the things he did. I don’t agree with the things he said but black people get treated much worst than that by white people and since they all agree with each other at the end of the day they just pat each other on the back and say that was well done. The American care about everybody else as long as they any color except black.
In all honesty, I didn’t anything hateful in what he said other than death con 3 but in that same segment he said that rap lyrics are actually anti semetic because they talk about killing and degrade women. Yet, they exploit and makes billions off of it. He is calling them hypocrites but I didn’t hear anything hateful
I didn’t hear anything hateful in that either.It only proves that Kanye is and was right.Its the irony for me,soon as patent in a sense is up,the companies wanna dump him,cause now they don’t or feel they don’t need him.
You sound like a first class retard. There’s been mad people cancelled over way less than what this fool is saying. You don’t have to support everything someone does just because they’re black. Grow up, that shit is weak minded af.
So so true,but because he is BLACK OMG what a joke ,look what happened January 6
The phrase “you white people” is racist! If someone said, “you black people” people would be losing their minds. No one can speak for an entire race of people! Including you!
People say you black people all the time, including your politicians. Where in the fuck have you been? If you didn’t condone the racism or weren’t a racist yourself, you wouldn’t care when she calls them out.
Apparently you haven’t seen the video montage of Biden’s racist rants. But using those terms in either direction, as “you white people” or “you black people”, is just as racist to use in either direction. Using those terms just continues to foster division among us. One day we will eventually stop giving a fuck about color and start calling each other Americans. But I don’t see it happening as long as our education system continues to suffer and promote push our differences across races to our children more so than the similarities of what makes us all American regardless of color, religious preference, etc…
Calm down Karen, you wildin right now.
All white people agree w ea other??? Wrong af!
If Kanye could take it all back in a moment I believe he would. Regardless of those who think the moves he made recently are tactical and pure genius of him. I’m sure he cries like a baby when he’s alone. Almost 2 billion is one hell of an amount of money!
That is why it is better to eat to much than talk to much. If you eat to much you can throw it up, but if you talk to much, you can’t put words back into your mouth, it is out there and sometime take a long time to heal what you said.
Where were you Ari Emanuel when Trump was doing and saying things waaaay worse than what Kanye has ever said or done? Why didn’t you go this hard to Cancel Trump? Not that I care about what’s going on with Kanye, it really don’t matter to me, I don’t listen to him, never have and never will. But, just wondering why Trump haven’t gotten this kind of treatment. Just curious
Hey Mel, what exactly did Trump say, im curious or are you just listening to the bogus media! List some examples please!
Oh you missed the part to where he called Mexican’s murders and rapists?! Day one after coming down the elevator – pull your head out of the sand – examples… you live in a cave? Echo chamber maybe lol
Good people on both sides.
“I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
“Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!
“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
You know why.
Really? What did trump say? You’re kidding right? How about the grab em by the p×××y remark to begin? Trump is a racist and a sexist pile of garbage and should be considered a US terrorist. Let’s keep it real. Crazy how brain washed people are
The 1930’s wasn’t that long ago. A time when evil kept rising because good men did nothing!
This is not Germany in those years, America will rise up as the light, darkness ceases to exist in the presence of light.
Ergo this piece of trash will be gone soon, one way or the other.
Wrong there are still shadows.
I find it funny how many fuck cancel culture. Y’all are the same wannabe keyboard tough children who say people should stop being a bunch of snowflakes and to just not watch, listen, or support what you don’t like. Then people actually follow that advice and y’all cry cancel culture. Full of hypocritical sissies in this place, really.
Kanye the great Christian said in his Instagram post that “I have not had super model pussy in a month”……… what a great Christian role model…….and he is the founder of Donda Christian Academy….. What a great man of God.
Deranged individual…… With 2 much money….
Even now
Thank you everyone!
