Kanye West has lost his talent representation and deals with major fashion houses and relationships in the music industry in the past two weeks following his anti-Blank and antisemitic statement.
Sportswear giant Adidas announced on Tuesday that it was cutting ties with West, saying: “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
The rapper lost his billionaire status as well, Guardian reported. As of Tuesday Kanye West was no longer featured on the Forbes billionaires list.
Problems began for Kanye West- who calls himself Ye- when the family of George Floyd intended to sue West for $250 million for falsely claiming on a podcast that Floyd was killed by fentanyl.
Several also called out Kanye West for harassment of his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, as well as her former boyfriend comedian Pete Davidson.
West has made repeated anti-Semitic remarks over the last month, including saying he would go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” a remark that got him restricted on Twitter.
West also received widespread criticism for T-shirts he presented at Paris fashion week that featured the slogan “White Lives Matter” and then he publicly insulted a Black Vogue fashion editor prompting the magazine to issue a statement saying that it will no longer work with him.
Talent agency CAA dropped West and he is no longer signed to Def Jam, the production company that he was long associated with.
The other organisations dropped with West are, Balenciaga, Anna Wintour/Vogue, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), United Talent Agency (UTA), Camille Vasquez and now Adidas.
