Ari Emanuel

Grammy award-winning recording artist Kanye West has hit back at UFC owner Ari Emanuel's calls to boycott his various businesses.

West was also heavily criticized for donning a ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt and for his vocal support of former U.S. [welterweight Colby Covington](https://www.mmanews.com/2022/10/covington-kanye-west-blm/) at a Black Lives Matter documentary premiere alongside conservative commentator Candace Owens. The UFC doesn’t and didn’t have any fiscal connections with West. The people is who I am,” West wrote to Emanuel. He’s in hot water regarding controversial remarks he made about Jewish people and a slew of businesses have already cut ties with him. I still love you.
