Athletes Aaron Donald and Jaylen Brown have announced they are leaving Kanye West's Donda Sports following the rapper and fashion designer's recent antisemitic remarks. The moves come after multiple companies, including Adidas, announced they were ending their partnership with West, now legally known as Ye.
Donald, an all-pro and Super Bowl-winning defensive tackle with the Los Angeles Rams, along with his wife, Erica Donald, said Tuesday in a statement that the decision was made in part because of Ye's recent "irresponsible" statements.
"Our family has made the decision to part ways with Donda Sports," the statement read. "The recent comments and displays of hate and antisemitism are the exact opposite of how we choose to live our lives and raise our children. We find them to be irresponsible and go against everything we believe in as a family."
