Ari Emanuel wrote a piece in the Financial Times urging businesses to cut ties with 'Ye' after the rapper found himself amid massive controversy over his anti-Semitic statements. His stance got him temporarily banned on social media platforms and cost him billion-dollar contracts with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga.

West holds Emanuel largely responsible for his fate.
In a frenzied Instagram post, West wrote:
"You tried to bankrupt Adidas and me at the same time. You tried to destroy my life after all the money I’ve made for the 'business' people. At least as I burn to the stake in front of the whole world… everyone now knows who they need to really be afraid of."
West also blamed Emanuel for the $250 million lawsuit filed against him by mother of George Floyd's daughter, Roxie Washington.

#1. Cain Velasquez's writ of habeas corpus denied by court
The Sixth Appellate Court of California denied a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by the legal team of Cain Velasquez. The writ of habeas corpus is a legal procedure to remedy an illegal detainment.
The order was issued on Wednesday, as per a report by MMA Junkie based on court record documents obtained by the outlet.
The petition included a 246-page request challenging past rulings of Santa Clara County Judge Shelyna Brown denying the incarcerated former UFC heavyweight champion's bail.
Velasquez is facing a number of charges, including attempted murder of Harry Goularte. An accused child molester, Goularte is charged with a felony for lewd acts with a minor, allegedly Velasquez's four-year-old son.
Velasquez is set for a pre-trial hearing on November 7 in San Jose, California.
