Kanye West has reached the abyss of hate with his statements that created huge controversies, costing him his career. It all began with the Yeezy show at the Paris Fashion Week in 2022, where he introduced t-shirts that read ‘White Lives Matter’. This caused a severe backlash from the industry. After this, he went on a rampage to spew hate against the Jews.
After Kanye West’s hate tirade against Jews, he was ousted from the industry, with major brands like Balenciaga, Vogue, and Adidas severing ties with him and his brand. Ye incurred a huge financial loss after they canceled the deals, especially with Adidas. Since then, Kanye has been finding a way to revive Yeezy without big brand collaborations. Now, he has found a trailblazing creative in the Russian designer, Gosha Rubchinskiy, to take the Yeezy baton forward as the Head of Design.
