The erratic behavior of the hip-hop legend Ye has cost him a huge fortune in less than a month. Right from the golden steps of glory, the rapper has crashed to the ground. The billionaire fashion designer Kanye West was once an influential figure in the industry, but his hate speech changed everything. His biggest collaborator cut ties with him, and even his fans have all but deserted the rapper.

The Donda singer lost a $1.5 Billion deal just in a single day when the German manufacturer called off their partnership. The musician was also blocked from his social media where people were condemning him for his actions. Meanwhile, one of his former Florida fans set $15k worth of Yeezys on fire as a protest against the rapper.
