Days after Kanye West declared he can say antisemitic things and Adidas cant drop me, the German clothing company did . And with that, West, whose partnership with Adidas accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth, lost his spot on the Forbes list of billionaires.

The American media company announced Wests removal from the list Tuesday , following his string of antisemitic tweets, texts and statements in interviews with figures like Tucker Carlson , Chris Cuomo and Piers Morgan .

Twitter and Instagram kicked him off, and former collaborators like Balenciaga and CAA cut ties. This corporate exodus also included JP Morgan , Gap and Vogue.

But the biggest blow was Adidas, which had worked with West on his Yeezy sneakers since 2013. Without Adidas, Forbes reported, Ye is no longer a billionaire and his net worth plunges to $400 million.
