While this year belonged to controversial celebrities, Kanye West probably became the biggest controversial celebrity this year. Mostly for everything wrong. The singer has always been known for adhering to freedom of speech and openly expressing his opinion. For a long time, everyone, including his partner companies, turned a blind eye to this.
But this year, along with his divorce, anti-Semitic rhetoric and comments about black historical figures, he caused a negative reaction in real time. Most of the people began to distance themselves from him. While his decline is only accelerating, there are still people who steadfastly support him.
