West said he would go to death con 3 on Jews. He said that it wasn't antisemitic because black people are also Jews. The account was locked after the account was removed.

The rapper took over the last month with a number of troubling actions, including the since- deleted tweets.

The "White Lives Matter" T-shirt that West wore at his fashion show in Paris was criticized for being a racist response to Black Lives Matter.

The episode of The Shop that West filmed was pulled after he used the show to reiterate more hate speech and dangerous stereotypes.

Donald and Brown were signed by Donda sports. The deals did not affect their representation or their ventures.

Donald was the only player from the National Football League to sign with Donda Sports, and Antonio Brown was named president in February. Jaylen Brown was the only NBA player to work with Donda.

Brown said in an interview with The Boston Globe that he was going to stay with the organization.

I signed with Donda Sports because it represented education. A lot more people are involved in that type of thing.

I work with a lot of people who spend time in the summer. A bunch of people working together. That is what the organization from my perspective represented.

Donald didn't comment on the situation until he decided to leave the organization.

Adidas cut ties with West over the last week, as well as a number of other businesses. On Tuesday, Foot Locker said it would no longer be supporting any future Yeezy product drops and told retail operators to pull any existing product from their shelves.
