Brown initially said he would stay with Donda Sports, but after much consideration decided it was best to move on.
Ye recently doubled down on his anti-Semitic comments, saying, “Hey, if you accuse someone of bad business, that means you’re an anti-Semite,” the New York Post reported.

“I’m glad we crossed that line of thinking so we can talk openly about things like cancellations from banks.”
The original comment came from Ye’s Instagram, where he posted a text message with rapper Diddy, who criticized his “White Lives Matter” shirt at the Yeezy fashion show in Paris.
“This is not a game,” Ye replied to Didi. “I will use you as an example to show the Jew who told me to call that no one can threaten or influence me.”
You later tweeted: “I’m a little sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m in a death scam 3 with me about the Jewish people and anyone who opposes your agenda is a blackball I tried.”
Antonio Brown elaborated, saying the media had taken Ye’s comments “disproportionately.”
“The world’s reactionary and selective outrage over the comments my brother Ye made in the media in recent weeks has sparked outrage and sparked rampant conversation and reflection,” Brown said. I was able to reflect on the statements I and others in my circle had made that lacked clarity in expressing my stance. Acquired people and brands chose to distance themselves at a very specific time: a time that showed the preference of certain groups over others.
“Not everyone in this world has freedom of judgment, but we live in a time when scrutiny and pessimism drive dialogue on cultural issues to criticism. , we support our dedication to freedom of opinion. Because it is the diversity of thought that propels humanity forward, we actively seek to coexist where there may be disagreements. Discrimination of any kind is unfair to everyone, which is why I want to make this statement.”

His comments recently ended Ye’s other business partnerships, including Adidas and Balenciaga.
Donald explained why he left Donda Sports.
“The recent hateful and anti-Semitic comments and displays are diametrically opposed to how we choose to live and raise our children,” Donald wrote in a Twitter statement alongside wife Erica. “I think they are irresponsible and go against everything we believe as a family.”
Jaylen Brown says self-reflection led to her ending her relationship with the agency after realizing that “my voice and my position cannot coexist in a space that does not align with my stance and values.” .
