Adidas finally ended its long association with Kanye, which started back in 2013. As per Page Six, this has led to the rapper's net worth decreasing from over $1.5 billion to $400 million.

The company said in a statement, "Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness."
