After massive backlash and losing a substantial amount of business, West has finally spoken up on the matter.

He said: “I want to talk about the Jewish comment, it’s actually proving the exact point that I made. So many actors are being bullied behind the scenes. So you even got people like Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel asking people not to do business with me. That’s how this town has been running for so, so long. They’ll mute you, they’ll try to mute you at all costs.” Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, one of the most influential people in Hollywood, has called on all companies to cut business ties with Kanye West, including Apple, Spotify, Adidas.Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, one of the most influential people in Hollywood, has called on all companies to cut business ties with Kanye West, including Apple, Spotify, Adidas.

A quick look at some of Kanye West s controversial comments

Earlier this month, rap-veteran N.O.R.E., the host of the Drink Champs, invited Kanye West for what was his third appearance on the podcast. During the episode, West made a plethora of unfounded comments, one of them being that was killed by a fentanyl overdose, rather than by the police. George Floyd didn’t die because of fentanyl, that racist overdose theory was used to smear his name in court. He died because Derek Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for nine and a half minutes. The Floyd family should sue Kanye just like Sandy Hook families sued Alex Jones.George Floyd didn’t die because of fentanyl, that racist overdose theory was used to smear his name in court.

Moreover, he also claimed that the "black voice" was predominantly owned by Jewish people because of the way all prominent black personalities are " being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney." N.O.R.E. later issued an apology for allowing Kanye to make such statements on his podcast.

Kanye has also been on the radar of netizens due to his various statements at other interviews. One such interview was with Fox News, where Kanye West talked about how he would prefer that his kids know more about Hanukkah instead of Kwanzaa, because at least the Jewish holiday would teach them about “financial engineering.” In the same interview, while speaking about Jared Kushner and his Jewish family, West also said: “I just think that’s what they’re about, is making money.” West said this in reference to Jared Kushner and his Jewish family.Kanye West and Candace Owens wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts at his fashion show in Paris.Kanye West and Candace Owens wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts at his fashion show in Paris.
