Kanye West pens ‘Love Speech” to Ari Emanuel despite heavy criticism
Kanye West, has lost business relationships with Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap, and other companies as a result of a marketing campaign that spread hate speech without apology.
Elite industry talent agency Ari Emanuel was one of the outspoken voices calling for firms to discontinue cooperating with the rapper after Ye’s visit to Drink Champs.
Emanuel, CEO of the entertainment and media agency Endeavor, expressed his desire for companies to stop working with Ye and to speak out and take action against the rapper in an opinion piece published in The Financial Times.

“West is not just any person — he is a pop culture icon with millions of fans around the world. And among them are young people whose views are still being formed,” Emanuel wrote.
He also accused Ye’s business partners of “giving his misguided hate an audience.”
Ye resorted to Instagram to offer Ari Emanuel a “LOVE SPEECH,” as brand deals kept vanishing and millions were quickly draining his value:
