“He knows I will do everything I gotta do and wanna do. In October, Pusha T explained that his music has been a place for fans to seek refuge from West’s constant antics. “My relationship with him has never been like everybody else’s in regard to the filter,” the rapper explained, sharing that he hasn’t spoken to West in a while. “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, I love the old Kanye,’” Pusha T told “Remember, I’m the one that said the MAGA hat is the new Klu Klux Klan hood while he’s making my album,” he said. And I ain’t with it. But it’s the same thing with him and the Drake thing. I’m not with it. West’s contract with Def Jam reportedly individually expired in 2021 following the release of Donda.

Kanye West mocked Kim Kardashian's oversized orange Prada ... (Wonderwall)

See the 22 worst fashion moments from the stars in 2022.

[Christina Milian](https://www.wonderwall.com/celebrity/profiles/overview/christina-milian-665.article) wore this very odd slinky bubble-emblazoned frock to the Sixth Annual Create and Cultivate 100 List Launch Party in Los Angeles in March. Chloe Grace Moretz is no stranger to a miss list, so her baffling look at a screening of her show "The Peripheral" in London in October was hardly surprising. The beauty shocked us with her strange fashion choice at the "Thor: Love and Thunder" premiere in London in July. She added knee-high matching denim boots too and appeared to be carrying another denim item (maybe a pair of jeans?) while strolling in her odd ensemble. The singer walked the red carpet at the TIME100 Gala in New York City in June in this questionable Gaurav Gupta creation. Her massive Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda gown included the addition of loofah-looking floral embellishments in various colors and sizes along the shoulder and down half of the skirt, making for one of the most costume-like fashion misses that month. The ruffled dress itself was great with its plunging neckline, thigh-high slit and ombre effect that flowed from pale pink to bright fuchsia, but the styling missed the mark: She topped it with a black blazer and thigh-high leather boots for a completely mismatched vibe. [ Met Gala](https://www.wonderwall.com/awards-events/2022-met-gala-red-carpet-see-what-all-the-stars-wore-on-fashions-biggest-night-592992.gallery) in May easily makes the list. Her long-sleeved column-style Prada frock included a bizarre black turtleneck detail, pink feathers at the shoulders and floral embellishments along the skirt — a pretty unfortunate combination. The red Nensi Dojaka design consisted of spaghetti straps, a bra-style top, a thong and a sheer layer that felt like a last-minute attempt to turn a bikini into a dress. The reality TV star and beauty mogul turned up in this truly bizarre long-sleeved Balmain illusion dress that featured a 3D design that turned her into a futuristic fashion victim. It was tough to narrow down the worst look from Kim Kardashian in 2022, but we think we found it.

Pusha and Kanye were friends and collaborators, but the rapper says that they're no longer speaking.

He just can’t do it,” he added. I never had a filter with him,” he said. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again. He knows that. He knows there’s no talking me off any ledges. And some people can’t wait to do that,” he remembered. I will say that,” he said. “It’s wrong. He expressed his thoughts to me. And he got off the phone saying, “Thank you. If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it.

How Kanye West's Yeezy Deals Dissolved (WWD)

The 24-time Grammy winner has lost millions in royalties this year when Gap and Adidas canceled their deals following his string of antisemitic and racist ...

That separation was said to have left Gap with nearly $102 million worth of unsold merchandise, according to a source familiar with the situation, who requested anonymity. Although Adidas made it clear that it will no longer work with Ye and will no longer use the Yeezy brand, some Yeezy designs are expected to surface in the months ahead under the Adidas logo. The musicians’ attorneys reportedly sent a breach-of-contract notice to Gap executives in mid-August and by mid-September the contract was reportedly terminated. As the musician’s public comments became more outrageous, Kering in late October said Balenciaga had parted ways with Ye and the brand removed from its website the image of him walking in its spring 2023 show. It also removed Yeezy products from its stores and shut down the YeezyGap site at that time. “And they do run the risk of having some public relations issues if it looks like they’re still putting out sneakers that were designed in collaboration with somebody who made a lot of antisemitic statements,” he said. Morningstar’s Swartz suggested that in the long run the damage to the brand and the impact on Adidas’ earnings won’t be as significant as some people think it will be. After initially taking the matter of its partnership with the Yeezy brand “under review” in early October, Adidas officially revealed its decision to stop working with Ye in late October. He also dressed models in T-shirts with a photo of Pope John Paul II on the front and “White Lives Matter” on the back. The biggest problem for them is China, where their sales have fallen off a cliff,” he said, citing COVID-19, slave labor issues and the loss of market share to native brands as reasons why. Any brand that wants to touch him takes on the baggage of neo-Nazism at this point.” “It’s a poison pill for any retailer to try to work with him in any form at this point.

Kanye West, retour sur une descente aux enfers (Les Inrocks)

Le musicien américain a cette année dépassé toutes les limites en s'aventurant sur le terrain de l'antisémitisme rance, après avoir multiplié les ...

Au nom du conservatisme noir, Kanye West a d’abord expliqué sur TMZ que les Afro-Américains étaient des esclaves “par choix”, provoquant un premier tollé (qu’on pouvait encore mettre, à l’époque, sur le dos de son confusionnisme légendaire). À l’instar du basketteur Kyrie Irving (qui a partagé en octobre sur Twitter un lien vers leur documentaire antisémite Hebrews to Negroes: Wake up Black America), Ye est clairement sous l’influence de ce groupe lorsqu’il déclare à Piers Morgan en octobre : “Je suis une personne classée comme noire, je me classe comme juive. En bon chrétien “new born”, Kanye “aime tout le monde”, puisque “Jesus aime tout le monde”. La première fois qu’il a évoqué son nom en public, c’est par un tweet d’avril 2018, dans lequel il louait la “façon de penser” de la directrice du site Red Pill Black et animatrice du mouvement Blacks for Trump. [Black Hebrew Israelites expliquent](https://www.liberation.fr/idees-et-debats/kanye-west-les-hebreux-noirs-et-un-nouvel-antisemitisme-20221123_M4PNNSYKLRH37DWITHWWKZQL4I/?redirected=1) quant à eux que les Afro-Américains sont les véritables descendants des Hébreux et que les juifs actuels sont des imposteurs, qui tirent toutes les ficelles dans l’ombre pour maintenant leurs victimes dans l’ignorance et l’esclavage, voire leur faire subir un génocide. C’est par l’entremise de la militante Candace Owens que Kanye a été exposé à ces idées et que s’est cristallisée sa récente vision du monde. Le premier est religieux, et c’est sur lui que repose l’essentiel de l’étrange “pensée” de Kanye West aujourd’hui. On aimerait que ces deux lettres, Y et E, ne soient rien d’autre que le symptôme d’une surchauffe intime ; elles sont aujourd’hui le nom d’une idéologie qui, pour chaotique et syncrétique qu’elle soit, fait système, dans un monde – et une nation en particulier –, il faut le dire, particulièrement propice à de tels monstres de Frankenstein. “Jesus is king” est d’ailleurs une expression qu’il a plusieurs fois répétée lors de sa diarrhée verbale chez Alex Jones. C’est triste mais c’est ainsi : les saloperies récentes de Kanye, pour “délirantes” qu’elles soient (le fascisme est un délire), forment une cohérence. [le résultat a dépassé tout ce que l’on craignait](https://www.npr.org/2022/12/02/1140218872/ye-antisemitism-alex-jones-podcast). Jamais, de mémoire, nous n’avons vu plus spectaculaire descente aux enfers dans la pop culture que celle que Kanye West est en train d’effectuer.

That is an important omission, according to Binta Niambi Brown, a talent manager in the music and entertainment industry, the founder Omalilly Projects and a member of the board of directors of America Media. At times, Christians in the United States can have an anemic understanding of human dignity, they argue, on the one hand praising Ye for promoting the dignity of the unborn, while ignoring his anti-Black and antisemitic rhetoric. While claiming a Christian and pro-life worldview, Kanye West—who is now known as Ye—has steeped himself in scandal over blatant anti-Black and antisemitic remarks.
