The artist Yeh, formerly known as Kanye West, has long been critically praised, not just for his music, but also his fashion and business sense.

But right now, he's better known for spewing hate.

Yeas tweeted about how he wants to go, quote, DeathCon 3, end quote, on Jewish people.

He's worn t-shirts that say white lives matter and dehumanize the death

of George Floyd. The followout and reaction to all of this has been immediate and far-reaching.

Adidas is just the latest company to end connections with Yeh, who has also been suspended from

Twitter and Instagram. A completed documentary about Kanye West has also been shelved, and his talent agency also dropped him.

Those are just some of the ties cut with Ye, and he's not the only black celebrity in trouble for his statements and actions right now.

Dave Chappelle has been under a lot of controversy over the past year for his comments about trans people,

and just recently star NBA player Kyrie Irving of the

Brooklyn Nets promoted a movie that included negative anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy theories.

The Brooklyn Nets suspended guard Kyrie Irving for at least five games for what the team called

a repeated failure to unequivocally say he has no anti-Semitic beliefs.

Both Ye and Irving have apologized and walked back some of what they've said.

And I question the deaf of George Floyd.

It hurt my people.

I hurt the black people.

So I want to apologize to hurting them because right now God has shown me by what Adidas is doing and by what the media is doing, I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now.

I'll take my responsibility for close than that.

Some things that were questionable in there, untrue.

I didn't mean to cause any harm.

But each has lost fans and money and maybe more to come.
