GET ME REWRITE: From Kanye to Ye to Yech!

 
HeadlineNew York Times, 10/25/2022
For more than two weeks, as Kanye West made a series of antisemitic remarks and embraced a slogan associated with white supremacists, Adidas, the most important partner in his fashion empire, said only that its relationship with the rapper and designer was “under review.” 
But as Ye, as Mr. West is now known, continued his offensive behavior, and with the condemnation of his remarks growing more widespread, Adidas announced Tuesday that it would cut ties with him — a move the company said would cost it 250 million euros ($246 million) this year.
