Kanye West's recent anti-Semitic comments have led to several companies and others close to him distancing themselves from him. Despite this, Antonio Brown is apparently one person who will continue to stand by West.

On Monday evening, via his Twitter account, Brown stated that he believes the rapper should be given room to speak about his beliefs freely. He also said that when others have different beliefs, it allows for a diverse conversation. He concluded by saying that prejudice is not okay in any situation.

While many were confused by what Brown was saying, his sign off was the biggest shock. He signed the statement as the 'President of Donda Sports.'

Donda Sports is the management company owned by West that Los Angeles Rams defensive end Aaron Donald and Boston Celtics Jaylen Brown both parted ways with earlier this week.

NFL fans took to Twitter to express their confusion over Brown being the president of Donda Sports. They wondered how professional athletes could be represented by a company being run by a former wide receiver who gave up on his team mid-game just last season.

Why is Kanye West getting cancelled?

Rapper Kanye West made anti-Semitic comments at the beginning of October in reference to rapper Diddy. The rapper, who now goes by the name "Ye" said on his Instagram page that Diddy was controlled by the Jewish people. The social media platform immediately banned him for making anti-Semitic comments.

He then took to Twitter and said that he planned to go "Death Con 3" on the Jewish community, which then led to him being banned from that social media platform as well. He then made additional anti-Semitic comments in an interview with FOX News' Tucker Carlson.

According to TMZ's Van Lathan, Ye even said that he loved Hitler and the Nazis back in 2018. This was when he also infamously stated that "slaverly was a choice." His conspiracy theory that Jews were targeting him have continued for weeks.

After severe backlash, on Tuesday morning, Adidas announced that they don't support anyone who has anti-Semitic thoughts and that they will no longer carry the "Yeezy" brand.

Along with the Gap, Balenciaga and Spotify, to name a few, the loss of major sponsorships has dropped Kanye West out of the billionaire bracket.
