Elon Musk's dramatic Twitter takeover is among the hottest topics right now. Ever since Musk has become the new boss, celebrities have either quit, left, or had their accounts locked. But, some are making a comeback too - like, Kanye West!

Celebs' on-again, off-again tryst with Twitter: Quitting, leaving, and a comeback!

<p>American rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West spoke to paps outside a Messianic church on Saturday and commented on Balenciaga's latest scandal and Twitter banning the micro-blogging account of Alex Jones, who is a radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While referring to Balenciaga's inappropriate ad campaign featuring little girls holding BDSM-themed teddy bears and comparing it to his anti-Semitic posts, Ye said that people were very outraged by what happened to him than what materialized publicly, which he thinks is also evident in the lack of celebrities who've decried Balenciaga.</p>

<p>He also spoke about Twitter's continued ban of Alex Jones' account, which he thinks should be reversed by Elon Musk immediately.</p>

<p>Back in October, Balenciaga issued a statement to announce their separation from the rapper due to his repeated anti-Semitic attacks and controversies. The statement read, "Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist."</p>

<p>Ye and Balenciaga have a long history. Before their separation, they&nbsp;partnered for a Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection that sold like wildfire. The rapper also made his runway debut for the luxury&nbsp;fashion brand.</p>

Ye aka Kanye West has THIS to say about Balenciaga's BDSM-themed teddy bears

US rapper Kanye West is making headlines again. This comes after he suggested that he will run for President an added that he wants former President Donald Trump to hear this that he wants him to be his Vice President. West took to Twitter and posted a picture with a symbol 'Ye' with 2024 written on it.

US: Ye renews his bid to run for Presidential elections in 2024

<p>The rapper and fashion designer Kanye West has suggested he will run for president and wants Donald Trump to be his running mate. Trump, for his part, brushed aside a recent meeting with West as of no significance.</p>

<p>The artist, who goes by the name Ye, posted Thursday a swirling symbol on his Twitter account with Ye&nbsp;and the number 24, apparently representing 2024, the year of the next US presidential election.</p>

<p>Then the rapper posted a video of himself speaking about a meeting this week with the former president in Florida.</p>

<p>"I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about (was) me asking him to be my vice president," West said.</p>

<p>"Trump started basically screaming at me at the table, telling me I'm going to lose," West said. "I'm like, hold on Trump, you're talking to Ye."</p>

<p>Trump, who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election he lost to Joe Biden, announced last week that he would run again in 2024.</p>

<p>Trump posted on Friday on his Truth Social platform about his meeting with West, saying the two discussed politics "to a lesser extent" than business, and that West had asked Trump "for advice concerning some of his difficulties."</p>

<p>The two "got along great," Trump said, adding that he told the rapper "he should definitely not run for President" because "'any voters you may have should vote for TRUMP.'"</p>

<p>In an earlier post on Truth Social, Trump said a meal the two shared Tuesday night at Mar-a-Lago was "quick and uneventful."</p>

<p>Trump said the rapper called ahead to arrange the dinner, then "unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about."</p>

<p>The group ate on the back patio of Mar-a-Lago, then West and his friends "left for the airport," Trump said.</p>

<p>West had posted after the dinner on Tuesday that he had posed the question to Trump about joining his presidential ticket.</p>

<p>"What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?" West asked.</p>

<p>It was not clear whether the rapper was serious about his intentions -- or if he sought publicity after a spate of PR moves that put him in a negative light.</p>

<p>West is a veteran at garnering publicity -- and dabbling in politics. He ran for president in 2020, but got fewer than 70,000 votes, coming in seventh place.</p>

<p>Last month, German sportswear giant Adidas severed its lucrative tie-up with West after the star made anti-Semitic statements.</p>

<p>Adidas later said the termination of ties with West had forced it to slash its forecast of net income for 2022 by half. West had helped Adidas develop its successful "Yeezy" line of clothing.</p>

<p>Paris fashion house Balenciaga and US clothing retailer Gap have also ended ties with West, who appeared at a Paris fashion show last month wearing a shirt with the slogan "White Lives Matter," a rebuke to the Black Lives Matter racial equality movement.</p>

'He should definitely not': Trump on Kanye's potential run at US presidency; refuses to be his running mate

The rapper and business mogul Kanye West has been accused of misconduct. Former employees of Yeezy and Adidas have claimed that he showed the staff porn, along with explicit images of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

WION Fineprint: Kanye showed porn to former employees of Yeezy and Adidas?

<p>On Thursday, Adidas AG announced that the company is launching an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Kanye West, based on an anonymous tip and a report.&nbsp;It was previously reported that the rapper played pornography in front of&nbsp;Adidas staff in meetings&nbsp;and had a discussion about porn in formal setups.&nbsp;He is also accused of showing an intimate photo of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian during job interviews.</p>

<p>"It is currently not clear whether the accusations made in an anonymous letter are true," Adidas said in a statement. "However, we take these allegations very seriously and have taken the decision to launch an independent investigation of the matter immediately to address the allegations."</p>

<p>Adidas' former employees, who were involved with 'Yeezy', had previously released a letter alleging that Adidas executives were fully aware of Ye's behaviour but chose to turn&nbsp;a blind eye and turn off their moral compass.</p>

<p>According to a Rolling Stone report, which cited unnamed former staff, the rapper used intimidation tactics and mind games&nbsp;to control the employees and his actions were often directed towards women.</p>

<p>The report also featured excerpts from the open letter addressed to the shoe company by some former employees who were fed up with Ye's behaviour towards them.&nbsp;The open letter detailed recollections of West’s alleged behaviour with former staff members.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the letter, the ex-Yeezy employees had also urged Adidas to address "the toxic and chaotic environment that Kanye West had created".</p>

<p>The latest&nbsp;expose by Rolling Stones also includes stories of the rapper belittling or bullying staffers.</p>

<p>Last month,&nbsp;Adidas terminated its lucrative tie-up with West after a series of anti-Semitic outbursts by the star.&nbsp; At the time, the company said his comments were "unacceptable, hateful and dangerous".</p>

<p>The sports outfitter took a heavy financial blow from the move, which it forecast would cut its 2022 net income in half.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In its latest statement released on Thursday, Adidas said it has been and continues to be "actively engaged in conversations with our employees about the events that lead to our decision to end the partnership. "They have our full support and as we're working through the details of the termination," the statement read.</p>

<p>Adidas began a review of its relationship with West after he appeared at a Paris fashion show wearing a shirt emblazoned with "White Lives Matter", a slogan created as a backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement.</p>

<p>Days later he was locked out of Twitter and Instagram over anti-Semitic threats.</p>

Adidas to launch probe into misconduct allegations against Kanye West

American rapper Kanye West is back in the news and this time it is for alleged actions of misconduct. Adidas has launched a probe into this matter after an exclusive article of a media outlet made some shocking claims about West's behaviour. Watch the video to know more.

Adidas launches probe in misconduct allegations against Kanye West

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidsb60IKOJOqVq" /><meta charset="utf-8" />Kanye West always manages to be in the news for the wrong reasons. After a few weeks of silence over his anti-Semitic comments, Kanye West is back in the headlines, and this time for the bizarre things he did with his former Adidas employees in order to control, manipulate and bully them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A month after the renowned sportswear company <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kanye-west-no-longer-a-billionaire-as-adidas-terminates-partnership-528479">ended its multi-million deal</a> with Kanye West, a new report from Rolling Stone has revealed how West used to show explicit photos and videos of his ex-wife and fashion mogul Kim Kardashian.</p>

<p>Over two dozen Adidas employees and creative collaborators have claimed that their ex-boss used to show them extremely private photos and videos of his then wife Kim, including sex tapes, during meetings.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kanye-west-returns-to-twitter-elon-musk-writes-save-what-ye-loves-536198">Kanye West returns to Twitter, Elon Musk writes, 'Save what Ye loves'</a></p>

<p>One member has also recalled how the 'Donda' singer&nbsp;used to discuss and play porn during the meetings.</p>

<p>In the letter, another&nbsp;employee revealed that&nbsp;during a job interview in 2018, Ye showed very ''revealing and personal" photo&nbsp;of Kim and said, "My wife just sent me this.'' While other revealed, that he asked to make a shoe that he can 'f**k'.</p>

<p>According to another senior employee, "He (West) would be in a meeting, talking to you, and he'd rattle off in his laptop to play a porn video.''</p>

<p>"And he’s like, I know it’s uncomfortable, but I kind of need this in the background to keep me focused.&nbsp;And you’d be like, Uhhhhh, oh-kay," the employee adds.</p>

<p>Many other employees have shared their weird experiences with West playing porn videos in different meetings.</p>

<p><strong>No action from Adidas!</strong></p>

<p>After many shocking incidents,&nbsp;employees complained about Kanye's inappropriate behaviour and have written an open letter to their high-ranking bosses and Adidas's newly appointed CEO, urging them to address "the toxic and chaotic environment that Kanye West created" as well as "a very sick pattern of predacious behaviour toward women."</p>

<p>Many employees have also&nbsp;claimed that many senior employees were aware of West's "problematic behavior" but "turned their moral compass off".</p>

<p>Slamming Adidas for not taking any action against their celebrity collaborator, employees wrote in the letter,&nbsp;"responsibility, accountability, and protection that Adidas failed to provide their employees throughout what we experienced as years of verbal abuse, vulgar tirades, and bullying attacks."<br />
<br />
Responding to the bombshell revelations, a representative of Adidas told Rolling Stone: "Adidas does not tolerate hate speech and offensive behaviour and therefore has terminated the Adidas Yeezy partnership."</p>

<p><strong>Kanye's porn addiction</strong></p>

<p>Kanye had earlier revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post that his <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-kanye-west-rants-about-former-mon-in-law--porn-addiction-on-instagram-then-deletes-everything-see-posts-512568">porn addiction&nbsp;</a>destroyed his family. ''Don’t let Kris make you play Playboy like she made Kyle and Kim do. Hollywood is a giant brothel. Pornography destroyed my family. I deal with addiction, and Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to New York and Chicago," he wrote in the caption of a photo of an unknown woman.</p>

After a few weeks of silence over his anti-Semitic comments, Kanye West is back in the headlines, and this time for the bizarre things he did with his former Adidas employees in order to control, manipulate and bully them. A month after the renowned sportswear company ended its multi-million deal with Kanye West, a new report from Rolling Stone has revealed how West used to show explicit photos and videos of his ex-wife and fashion mogul Kim Kardashian. Over two dozen Adidas employees and creative collaborators have claimed that their ex-boss used to show them extremely private photos and videos of his then wife Kim, including sex tapes, during meetings. Kanye West returns to Twitter, Elon Musk writes, 'Save what Ye loves' One member has also recalled how the 'Donda' singer used to discuss and play porn during the meetings. In the letter, another employee revealed that during a job interview in 2018, Ye showed very ''revealing and personal" photo of Kim and said, "My wife just sent me this.'' While other revealed, that he asked to make a shoe that he can 'f**k'. According to another senior employee, "He (West) would be in a meeting, talking to you, and he'd rattle off in his laptop to play a porn video.'' "And he’s like, I know it’s uncomfortable, but I kind of need this in the background to keep me focused. And you’d be like, Uhhhhh, oh-kay," the employee adds. Many other employees have shared their weird experiences with West playing porn videos in different meetings.

After many shocking incidents, employees complained about Kanye's inappropriate behaviour and have written an open letter to their high-ranking bosses and Adidas's newly appointed CEO, urging them to address "the toxic and chaotic environment that Kanye West created" as well as "a very sick pattern of predacious behaviour toward women." Many employees have also claimed that many senior employees were aware of West's "problematic behavior" but "turned their moral compass off". Slamming Adidas for not taking any action against their celebrity collaborator, employees wrote in the letter, "responsibility, accountability, and protection that Adidas failed to provide their employees throughout what we experienced as years of verbal abuse, vulgar tirades, and bullying attacks." Responding to the bombshell revelations, a representative of Adidas told Rolling Stone: "Adidas does not tolerate hate speech and offensive behaviour and therefore has terminated the Adidas Yeezy partnership." Kanye's porn addiction Kanye had earlier revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post that his porn addiction destroyed his family. ''Don’t let Kris make you play Playboy like she made Kyle and Kim do. Hollywood is a giant brothel. Pornography destroyed my family. I deal with addiction, and Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to New York and Chicago," he wrote in the caption of a photo of an unknown woman. (With inputs from the agencies)

Dave Chappelle delivers controversial monologue on 'SNL'; mocks Kanye West and others

<p>Trust Kanye West to keep things feisty as the rapper took to Twitter to announce he’s going on a “verbal fast”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ye wrote, “I’m not talking to nooobody for a month.”</p>

<p>He also shared an image of a short statement that read: “I’m taking a 30 day cleanse. A verbal fast. No alcohol. No adult films. No intercourse. In God we praise. Amen.”</p>

Kanye West will not talk for 30 days straight as he goes on a 'verbal fast'

<p>It seems that American rapper and fashion mogul Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, didn't have a great time at his son Saint's recent soccer game. Rumours are rife that the 45-year-old had a heated argument with another parent at the soccer stadium, where Kim Kardashian was also present.</p>

<p>Some on-lookers told TMZ that the controversial rapper, who has recently been in news for his anti-Semitic remarks, stormed out of the stadium after a woman, who appeared as a family friend, said something to the musician.</p>

<p>In the photos and video obtained by the publication, Kim was sitting nearby Kanye&nbsp;in a lawn chair flanked by security. She visibly did not react as the disgraced designer waved his arms in seeming frustration towards someone on the ground.</p>

<p>The publication also reported that Ye returned after a few minutes, seemingly after cooling off, and watched the rest of the game with others.</p>

Kanye West storms out of son Saint's soccer game after heated argument with a parent

<p>American rapper and businessman Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, recently took to Instagram to reveal that he has lost over $2 billion in a single day due to his anti-Semitic outbursts. The fashion mogul's lucrative commercial tie-ups got shelved as companies like Adidas and Gap took fright at his controversial comments, which were dubbed hate speech by activists.</p>

<p>"I lost 2 billion dollars in one day. And I’m still alive. This is love speech," Ye wrote in an Instagram post. "I still love you. God still loves you. The money is not who I am. The people is who I am." The post was addressed to&nbsp;Emanuel Ari, the CEO of entertainment company Endeavor, who had urged people to sever ties with Ye for his controversial comments.</p>

Kanye West aka Ye claims losing $2 billion over anti-Semitic remarks

<p>It was previously reported that American rapper and fashion mogul Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, lost his billionaire status due to his anti-Semitic comments which resulted in his fallout with big companies like Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap.

<p>So far, there have been no donations on the crowd-funding page.</p>

<p>Last week, Adidas issued a statement to announce their separation from West due to his anti-Semitic rants. "Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech.

<p>Meanwhile, according to a Forbes report,&nbsp;West’s worth came down to $400 million after several brands terminated their&nbsp;partnership with him. Reportedly, the Yeezy deal accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth.</p>

Kanye West's fans create crowd-funding page to make him billionaire again

<p>Quentin Tarantino has responded to Kanye West's claims about the idea for 'Django Unchained' being stolen from latter's pitch for a music video. West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, had claimed while on Piers Morgan Uncensored that he came up with the idea of Jamie Foxx-starrer revisionist Western slavery film. He said he had pitched the idea for a music video for 'Gold Digger', but Tarantino went on to turn it into a film.</p>

<p>During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Tarantino set the record straight.

<p>He added, “He [West] did have an idea for a video, and I do think it was for the Gold Digger video, that he would be a slave. And the whole thing was the slave narrative, where he’s the slave, and he’s singing “Gold Digger.” And it was very funny. It was a really, really funny idea.”</p>

<p>Kanye West, who has grabbed headlines for the past few weeks for all the wrong reasons, reportedly wants to name his 2018 album after German dictator Adolf Hitler.&nbsp;<br />

New reports seem to be suggesting that the rapper who now goes by the name Ye, has been an admirer of Hitler and wanted to name his eighth album after him.&nbsp;<br />

Kanye eventually did not go ahead with the idea and named it 'Ye'. A business executive who claims to have worked with Kanye in the past told CNN that Kanye allegedly had an "obsession" with Hitler and that he spoke openly about reading 'Mein Kampf'.<br />
<br />
CNN quoted the business executive saying, "He would praise Hitler by saying how incredible it was that he was able to accumulate so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party achieved for the German people."<br />
<br />
The reports comes days after West lost his billion-dollar deal with Adidas over his comments against Jews. In the last few weeks, Kanye has been heavily criticised for his anti-Semitic tweets which has cost him partnerships with Balenciaga and GAP.</p>

Not just Kanye West, these celebrities also got dumped by brands for their harsh words and actions

Adidas has ended its partnership with Ye - the rapper who was formally known as Kanye West. Fashion House Balenciaga, studio MRC Entertainment and talent agency CAA have also snapped ties with the artist. Molly Gambhir tells you why.

Gravitas: Why Adidas dumped Kanye West

<p>That bizarre anti-Semitic tweet posted by Kanye West on October 8 is coming back to bite the rapper again and again. While he has thrived on controversy, this time he may have gone too far. After fashion house Balenciaga and clothing retailers Gap, Adidas has also ended any association with him, reportedly causing his net worth to decline to $400 million. He is no longer a billionaire.
