Because of the uncontrollable condition of Covid-19, many people lost their jobs and their careers were put at the risk. It is understandable if you lose a job due to an external uncontrollable force because you can find another one. But what if you keep on making the same mistakes and ruin your reputation on your own? 2022 saw many unforgettable events, including the fall of many famous people like Kanye West, Amber Heard, Will Smith, Ezra Miller, and many more. 

This is rather not the list that anyone wants to top. But unfortunately, the Chicago rapper, Ye, topped the list of people who ruined their careers in 2022. Before we look into how he did it and who were others, did you know the famous fantasy writer, J. K. Rowling, also faced major issues because of her views on transgender people? Yes! Moreover, the author faced critical shakedown for her novel, which she published in August named The Ink Black Heart. Did Kanye West top this controversy as well?

Is Kanye West the most controversial entity of 2022?

While it was a shocking revelation of an extra-marital affair by Ned Fulmer, he is no longer a part of The Try Guy. He claimed to be a family man while cheating on his wife with one of his employees. As shocking as it sounded, can you tolerate an animal being harassed by anyone, especially if it is a sports person?

Well, to your surprise, Kurt Zouma, a French footballer, abused his cats, which led him to face a lawsuit. This affected his career and his fan following on a major level. Will Smith’s 94th Academy Slap incident is also one of the most talked about events of 2022. And the famous Johnny vs Amber trial as well. But the American rapper topped all the controversial events by securing the first rank on the list.

While Ye has inspired many young artists in his career, he lost his reputation because of his anti-Semitic comments. He openly praised Adolf Hitler and posted controversial content on the internet. As a result of that, he got banned from social media platforms multiple times. Many major companies, including Adidas, ended their contracts with him.

To add to his misery, Ye’s former employees came forward to reveal the true face of the rapper behind closed doors. Not only his professional but also he lost his personal life as well. His now ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, also divorced him, and they settled recently.
