YE FACES THE MUSIC
Rapper YE WEST (45) is paying a costly price for his obscene rantings. Since making antisemitic comments online, he’s been cut from brands Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap. His talent agency, CAA, has also severed ties with him. In a desperate attempt to forge a new partnership, Ye showed up at footwear company Skechers, but was shown the door. According to Forbes, his net worth has plummeted from $2 billion (R36bn) to $400 million (R7,2bn).
