Kanye West Isn’t Losing Money Amids Antisemitic Rants, Gains Support Instead
Kanye West claims that he is not suffering any financial consequences because of the antisemitic statements he has made.
That is what the 45-year-old rapper and fashion designer said despite having been dropped by several companies, including Balenciaga, Olean Times Herald reported.
"I ain't losing no money. The day I was taken off the Balenciaga site was one of the most freeing days," Kanye said.
West said people were severing relations with him to "score points" and that they were "trying to mute" him due to his numerous scandals, including wearing a "White Lives Matter" T-shirt during Paris Fashion Week.
"We here, baby, we ain't going nowhere," he continued about his refusal to be canceled.
Before pressing down on his controversial remarks, he said that his Jewish comment had proven the exact point he made.

Kanye West Antisemitic Rants Inspired Antisemitic Group, Goyim Defense League
An antisemitic group in Los Angeles put up a sign that said, "Kanye is right about the Jews." The group is said to have been influenced by Kanye West's antisemitic rants and social media posts.
At least seven people gave the Nazi salute as automobiles drove by the signs erected on Saturday afternoon.
According to Rolling Stone, a nonpartisan organization called Stop Antisemitism recognized the organization as the Goyim Defense League (GDL), which is run by Jon Minadeo II, a "well-known neo-Nazi."
In recent weeks, West has gone on several antisemitic tirades. He previously alleged that Jews rule Hollywood.
The rapper also tweeted that he was going "death con 3 on the Jewish people" after being banned from Instagram.
In an interview with Chris Cuomo, West declined to express regret for the tweet, and when Piers Morgan pressed him, he replied, "No... Absolutely not."
Meanwhile, Stop Antisemitism said that when the police arrived, Minadeo started yelling at one of them about "diversity hires and immigrants taking over America thanks to Jewish laws."
In September, Minadeo was taken into custody at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. An Auschwitz Memorial press representative said that Minadeo and another individual "illegally burst" onto the site.
Adidas Nazi History Resurfaces Amid Kanye West Antisemitic Rants
Adidas has been quiet during all of Kanye West's antisemitic rants, and now people are calling for a boycott if they do not cut ties, especially since Adidas has a Nazi past.
Even though there have been rumors that their relationship with West is "under review," many people are now calling for action because West's comments, especially about Jews, have gone from being controversial to being hateful.
The Dassler family, who started the company and lives in Germany, has ties to the Nazi Party that go back to the 1930s, TMZ noted. The brothers joined the group and even sold sports shoes to Nazis at the time.
