The freefall of Kanye West doesn’t seem to end. The world seems to be cutting ties with the rapper following his recent antisemitic comments. Major endorsement brands including Balenciaga and Adidas have ended their partnership with Ye. West’s connections to the NBA also appear to be weakening. Notably, Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown also made a major decision that left NBA Twitter with plenty to say.

Kanye West is undoubtedly one of the most renowned rappers and businessmen. West has found himself in trouble because of his offending comments in the past. But his brand Yeezy, after the collaboration with Adidas, made him a billionaire. West is also seen as a major player in the fashion industry.
The collapse began during Paris fashion week earlier this month when he wore a t-shirt that read ‘White Lives Matter’, which the Anti-Defamation League labeled as a hate slogan. Following this, he made antisemitic comments during an interview.
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown gives another shocker to Kanye West
Now Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown made a major decision. Legion Hoop posted a tweet about the news. The tweet said, “Both Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald announce that they are “terminating their association” with Kanye’s Donda Sports agency.” Donda Sports agency provided athletes with holistic support during and after their professional careers. Along with Brown, Los Angeles Rams’ Aaron Donald also cut ties with West’s agency.
The Donda Sports agency was a huge success which added a major chunk to billionaire Kanye West’s net worth. But as Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald have terminated their association, the sports world is shocked and presented its views on Twitter.
