Kanye West has been for involving himself in verbal battles throughout his career as a rapper and producer. People were never affected by his controversies and ignored him most of the time. However, the last few weeks turned out to be a culminating point for him. The rapper was condemned by industry figures after he supported white supremacists and made antisemitic comments. West lost over $1 billion after companies canceled deals with him owing to his remarks.

In particular, he used to make a huge amount of money with his collaborations with brands like Adidas and Gap, which are gone now. The Donda singer has only $400 million in net worth, which seemingly fails to cover his vast expenses. After facing a huge financial catastrophe, Kanye West has halted construction at his Malibu House.
