For the past few weeks, large corporations have distanced themselves from West over his antisemitic remarks went viral.

Fans immediately ripped into FOX for using Kanye’s music during games.
Wow, @NFLonFOX just opted to play a Kanye song as they cut to commercial. At this stage, they’re making a conscious decision to reward Ye with a royalties check, despite his reprehensible racist & antisemitic remarks. I guess @FOXSports is really tryna be Fox News now?
