Kanye West has been receiving a lot of flak from left, right, and center for his anti-semitic tweets. The 45-year-old rapper’s comments have made brands like Vogue, JP Morgan Chase, and Adidas cut ties with him. Now, it seems that all this drama also has a Harry Styles connection.
Styles seems to have boycotted Adidas much before the company severed its ties with the ‘Donda‘ rapper. This might be true or maybe his fans trying to connect the non-existing dots. Let’s find out if the Fine Line singer actually distanced himself from Adidas amid all the drama.

Did Harry Styles Boycott Adidas Because Of Kanye West?
Several brands have been boycotting Kanye West since he made anti-semitic tweets. One of them is Adidas, the company that makes sports wears, clothes, shoes, etc.
Now, fans of Harry Styles think that he boycotted the brand very early on for staying mum on Ye’s comments. According to Page Six, the singer changed his shoes on Monday night.
Styles, who earlier wore Adidas x Gucci Gazelle shoes for almost every show during his Love On Tour, was seen in a pair of red Vans during his show in Los Angeles.

West Is No Longer A Billionaire
Companies and brands have been cutting ties with the rapper over his problematic tweets. Brands like Vogue, Balenciaga, and most recent Adidas have distanced themselves from him.
On Tuesday, Forbes magazine stated they had dropped Ye from its list of billionaires. It estimated the Adidas deal accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth. His net worth has now dropped to a mere $400 million.
The magazine said that the $400 million remaining of his net worth comes from real estate, cash, his music catalog, and a 5% stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s shapewear company Skims.
This year, West claimed that his Adidas partnership alone was worth $4.3 billion, and his net worth was around $7 billion.
