"You tried to bankrupt Adidas and me at the same time" - Kanye West attempts to 'expose' UFC owner Ari Emanuel in another social media rant
Controversial US rapper Kanye West has continued his feud with UFC owner Ari Emanuel, sending another message on Instagram to the Endeavor CEO. With it, West is seemingly trying to expose him.
'Ye' has been at the heart of a media storm in recent weeks after multiple businesses ended their relationships with the Grammy award-winning artist due to an anti-Semitic post. The post was deemed extremely offensive and resulted in him being temporarily banned from Twitter and Instagram.

Ari Emmanuel was featured in a Financial Times article, during which he asked Apple and Spotify to remove West's music and called for businesses to cut ties with the musician. Since the anti-Semitic post from West, brands such as Adidas and Balenciaga have canceled their contracts, costing the 45-year-old up to $2 billion.
In a post on Instagram, Kanye West wrote to the UFC owner:
"Ari Emmanuel. Can you find a place for the Donda Academy kids to go to school that’s properly zoned for a school? I got about 60 children that have no place to be as they look to transfer. They tried to dismantle our basketball team. Those boys are being penalized without reason. Even professional athletes were threatened by their owners to disassociate."
He added:
"This is what modern post social media #Blackmirror warfare looks like…the children are not even off limits: Economic Lynching. Digital Lynching. Bankrupting my Social Credit Score. 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"

When UFC commentator Joe Rogan admired Kanye West
Joe Rogan revealed that he was a fan of Kanye West and his eccentric mind following the music artist's appearance on the 1568th edition of the Joe Rogan Experience.
At the time, West was still married to Kim Kardashian and was one of the most popular artists in the world. The UFC commentator stated that he enjoyed getting to know the real 'Ye' and wanted to give people the opportunity to make their own judgements about him from a conversation, not out of context clips.

Joe Rogan said:
"He's got this stream of creative ideas that are constantly running through his head... I wanted to make sure that we can do it in a way where other people are going to appreciate that there is a great value in the way he thinks."
The 54-year-old added that the idea of the podcast was to help show off his creative ideas:
"You get it in some weird thing where he says something where people get mad at him and they boo him... You're missing the who he really is.... It's not him in this thirty-second chunk where you don't like what he said. Guess what, he probably doesn't like what he said either. He's fu**ing streaming."
