KanYe West‘s recent behaviors have left many to ask if Jesus is still walking with him.
Out of billions of people in the world Yet is capturing record breaking headlines for all of the “wrong reasons” according to right-wing and left-wing media. For once all sides seem to be in agreement that they are watching one of the greatest rappers in the world deteriorate and throw away his wealth.
They say all attention is good attention, but when your brand appearance is deminishing your brand wealth, that may not be such a good thing.
Four years after he expressed support for Donald Trump and wore a MAGA hat proudly, he’s made a concerted effort to test the boundaries of cancel culture. He has no fear of black culture not supporting him. Yet in his latest round he says everything he is doing is to free the black mind whom he once said enslaved itself… As slavery was a choice according to Kanye.
It’s as evident in his recent press runs where he’s made “anti-Semitic remarks”, donned a White Lives Matter shirt, and claimed George Floyd died from a Fentanyl overdose, rather than being suffocated at the hands of law enforcement, that Ye doesn’t care who he offends.
And that has people concerned as they can’t tell what he’s doing or where Ye is going.
Today TMZ reported that Kanye popped up unannounced at the Sketchers office to try to secure a deal for his Yeezy shoe and clothing line, only to be kicked out.
This comes as things took a sharp turn earlier in the week when numerous brands decided to part ways with Ye Adidas ended their partnership with him, Foot Locker removed his clothes from their shelves, and his talent agency CAA dropped him from the roster. The end of his Adidas partnership heavily impacted his pockets as Forbes stripped him on his billionaire status.
Kanye’s life appearing to fall apart is being blamed on his association with Candice Owens.
Ye is still making headlines for all of the wrong reasons.

During a May 2018 interview regarding his support of Trump, West said: ‘Racism isn’t the deal-breaker for me. If that was the case, I wouldn’t live in America.’
‘I am Ye, and everyone here knows that I am the leader,’ West, 43, said at the Balenciaga event while referencing his new legal name, adding: ‘You can’t manage me.’
It is not the first time that Ye has stoked controversy surrounding race, after saying in 2018 that he thought 400 years of slavery ‘was a choice.’

Adam22 recently chimed in on the matter, claiming that Ye destructed his music and fashion empire to spew right-wing narratives.
“Kanye spent 20 years building one of the biggest empires in music and fashion and threw it all away bc he wanted to repeat Candace Owens talking points on tv,” the podcast host tweeted. Adam pretty much summed it up as accurately within one tweet, which ultimately prompted a response from Mike Dean. “Amen,” he replied.

Some people think Kanye West fans are irrational and take up for him. It’s obvious that Kanye is going through something. Humans in general are going through something. So I am going to wish him the best.
One thing to be noted, as Kanye’s wealth dwindles for $4Billion down to $400 Million after unexpectedly losing his Adidas shoe deal, do we live to make money and be quiet, or are we living to have a voice and make money too?
