Brands associated with Kanye West continue to make the move to part ways with the rapper following antisemitic remarks made earlier this month. Yeezy made these hate filled comments on social media, and he’s doubled down on his stance despite receiving public backlash.

West said he’s “happy he crossed the line,” though he might not feel the same as his business endeavors continue to suffer. Or maybe this was all just part of his plan… Some conspiracy theorists believe so.

Ye recently had a segment on LeBron James’s The Shop cut due to the controversial opinions, and it appears more of his sports clientele is following suit in cutting ties with the entertainer.

Aaron Donald, Jaylen Brown cut ties with Donda Sports.

Brown and Donald are the two biggest sports personalities involved with Kanye’s sports and entertainment agency, Donda Sports. Well, they were.

Both players have severed their relationships with the company amid the controversy.

Donald, an All-Pro NFL player, announced that he’d be joining powers with Donda earlier this year. The defensive lineman, fresh off of a Super Bowl victory and new deal in LA, is one of the most popular players in the league. Being a member of the Rams, Donald is the face of a team in the nation’s entertainment epicenter.

He’s announced his departure from Donda on Tuesday.

Landing the former Defensive Player of the Year signaled a huge win for Donda at the time. The pot soon got sweeter with the addition of Jaylen Brown.

The Boston Celtic was coming off an NBA title appearance and is considered one of the best young talents in basketball. Brown originally stated that he’d planned to stick with Donda though he didn’t condone Kanye’s comments. He’s since changed that tune, announcing on Twitter that he, too, will be breaking ties.

Now, both players have parted ways, removing any star power the agency once held. Add it to the list of partnerships now broken due to these recent statements. Adidas, Balenciaga, talent agency CAA, and production company MRC paved the way. These two professional sports stars have now followed those footsteps.
