Kanye West is no longer a Billionaire

The 45-years rapper-cum-fashion entrepreneur no longer has a place on the Forbes Billionaires’ list. One of the world-famous athletic companies has ended its partnership with Kanye West after he made non-stop anti-Semitic comments.

Ye, who had worked with Adidas since 2013 on his Yeezy line of super-expensive, super-popular sneakers, has cut ties with the German sportswear giant Adidas.

When Ye made an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast earlier this month, he said,

“I can say antisemitic s—- and Adidas cannot drop me,”

According to the latest Forbes reports, Ye has now estimated $400 million net worth, once valued at $2 Billion.

One of Ye’s biggest financial losses from this year was his $1.5 billion deal with Adidas.

What is the source of Ye’s income?

According to Ye’s finances, the rapper has five sources of income such as his massive Adidas deal, Gap partnership, music catalog, and selling new music and concerts.

However, four of his income sources have been either completely shut down or badly compromised. West’s anti-Semitic outburst and support for white supremacists have created a huge buzz this year.

Last month, he wore a controversial t-shirt to the surprise PFW show for his brand Yeezy’s Season 9 collection. The t-shirt featured the Pope’s face on the front and the words “White Lives Matter” on the back.

In September, he ended his two-year-old deal with Gap. As far as concerts, Ye has not had any show amid the scandals. In earlier November, he could have a show at SoFi Stadium in LA, however, that was canceled by the venue. Similarly, regarding West with new music, there is yet no further report available.

Though he releases a new album, an insider said,

“He’s unlikely to net anything like as much as he has for previous albums,”

“He’s a many-time Grammy winner and he has such a large following that his albums go platinum instantly.” Royalties, which give Ye roughly $5 million USD each year according to Billboard, are reportedly barely enough to pay for his expenses. That’s about enough to pay his gas bill for his jet.”
