Adidas has ended its partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his offensive and anti-semitic remarks, the latest company to cut ties with Ye and a decision that the German sportwear company said would hit its bottom line.
“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
The company faced pressure to cut ties with Ye, with celebrities and others on social media urging Adidas to act. It said at the beginning of the month that it was placing its lucrative sneaker deal with the rapper under review.
Adidas said Tuesday that it conducted a “thorough review” and would immediately stop production of its line of Yeezy products and stop payments to Ye and his companies. The sportswear company said it was expected to take a hit of up to 250 million euros ($246 million) to its net income this year from the move.
The move by Adidas, whose CEO Kasper Rorsted is stepping down next year, comes after Ye was suspended from Twitter and Instagram this month over antisemitic posts that the social networks said violated their policies.
He recently suggested slavery was a choice and called the COVID-19 vaccine the “mark of the beast,” among other comments. He also was criticised for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt to his Yeezy collection show in Paris.
Ye’s talent agency, CAA, has dropped him, and the MRC studio announced Monday that it is shelving a complete documentary about the rapper.
The Balenciaga fashion house cut ties with Ye last week, according to Women’s Wear Daily. JPMorganChase and Ye have ended their business relationship, although the banking breakup was in the works even before Ye’s antisemitic comments.
In recent weeks, Ye also has ended his company’s association with Gap and has told Bloomberg that he plans to cut ties with his corporate suppliers.
After he was suspended from Twitter and Facebook, Ye offered to buy the conservative social network, Parler.
Demonstrators on a Los Angeles overpass Saturday unfurled a banner praising Ye’s antisemitic comments, prompting an outcry on social media from celebrities and others who said they stand with Jewish people.

PHILIPSBURG — Suspended Member of Parliament Claudius Buncamper accuses the Council of Advice in a press release of an “apparent dereliction of duty” for its refusal to provide advice on the lawfulness of the constitution’s article 50.2b.
“The position of the Council of Advice is respectfully incorrect and not sustainable,” the press release states. Buncamper adds that this does not take away from the obligation of the parliament and the government to take requisite remedial measures if they are of the opinion that a provision in the Constitution violates higher treaties and/or human rights.
“On June 3 I presented a compelling and detailed analysis to the parliament identifying how article 50.2b has proven to be a violation of international treaties,” Buncamper states in the opening paragraph of his press release.
The release points out the responsibility of the parliament in the field of creating and amending legislation. Since Buncamper sent his request for advice to the parliament on June 3, no action has been taken, other than forwarding his letter to the Council of Advice.
Nevertheless, Buncamper states that the parliament “obviously recognized the national importance of not having an article in the constitution that violates international treaties.” The parliament duly washed its hands of the matter by forwarding the letter to the Council of Advice with a request for providing an advice, something the Council has in the meantime declined to do.
The press release further mentions the “impact and implications of not having the representation of persons duly elected by the St. Maarten electorate. The contested article in the constitution tramples on this right “by a potentially unlawful and thus not binding article in our constitution.”
Buncamper adds for good measure that the position of the Council of Advice is “incomprehensible.” The suspended MP wonders whether the Council would also decline to provide an advice in case the parliament or the government proposes an amendment to the contested article in the constitution. The MP maintains that the parliament is now “unjustly deprived from the advice it solicited.”

If you are in the financial services industry and act as registered office or as a money laundering reporting officer, you may have received a request from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) recently to complete an AML survey. While a fully completed AML survey is expected in most cases, CIMA may permit, with CIMA’s prior approval, partial or incomplete submissions in limited circumstances.
One example of this where an investment management entity has been deregistered or is in the process of a voluntary liquidation.
If your entity falls within this category, you may email an Incomplete Submission Request to AMLSurveys@cima.ky detailing the following:
Licence or Registration NameLicenced or Registration NumberDate of Licence or RegistrationList of current directorsNumber of ClientsReason for requesting to make an incomplete submission
CIMA will then respond to your request to make an incomplete submission.
If approved, CIMA will typically provide instructions to sign onto the CIMA portal with credentials previously provided, following which you will enter the names of the AML survey preparer and person submitting the AML survey and submit the partially completed form.
Should relevant parties have any questions regarding requests for incomplete or partial submissions of AML surveys, they can contact AMLSurveys@cima.ky.
