Los Angeles, November 3, 2022 - Kanye West said on Thursday that he lost two billion dollars in one day, back from the cascading withdrawals of companies - Adidas, Gap - cutting bridges after the series of anti-Semitic remarks by the American artist.

The one who is also called Ye has seen for a few days big brands break their juicy contracts with him to show that they disapprove of his anti-Semitic remarks. After several months of degraded relationships, Adidas announced on Tuesday the "immediate end" of the partnership with Ye, long one of the most fruitful in the fashion world.

"Adidas does not tolerate anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech," the German equipment manufacturer justified in a statement. A few hours later, the American ready-to-wear chain Gap had announced its similar decision, a week after the break announced by fashion house Balenciaga.

The message published by Kanye West on Instagram on Thursday seems to address Ari Emanuel, a boss of a Californian show business agency who had called on all the companies collaborating with him to cut their links.

Kanye West, who says he suffers from bipolar disorder, was suspended from Twitter after tweeting that he was going to attack Jews in a post that has since been deleted by the social network because it violated his rules. He had also been temporarily suspended from Instagram.

The rapper appeared in early October wearing a crossed-up T-shirt with the slogan "White Lives Matter" during a fashion show in Paris. This slogan, used by the American extreme right, diverts the name of the "Black Lives Matter" movement, which campaigns against racism against African Americans.

Ye was escorted on Wednesday from an office of the sneaker brand Skechers, the company said.
