Kanye West was once riding high as one of the few billionaire rap moguls alongside Jay-Z and Beyoncé. However, things turned for the worse in 2022 after he spent most of the year stalking his ex, Kim Kardashian, and intimidating her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
To make matters worse, West made anti-Semitic comments in interviews, including praising Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. The public backlash was swift and severe.
As a result, West lost his deals with GAP and Adidas, losing his billionaire status. He also failed to secure a partnership with Sketchers, and many fans began to distance themselves from him.
If that wasn’t enough, West also lost his custody battle with Kim and was ordered to pay her $200,000 monthly in child support. It’s safe to say that it was a rough year for the rapper.
