The rapper formerly known as Kanye West was escorted out of the California-based headquarters of athletic shoemaker Skechers after he showed up unannounced Wednesday (US time), a day after Adidas ended its partnership with the artist following his anti-semitic remarks.
The Skechers corporate headquarters are located in Manhattan Beach, southwest of Los Angeles, and the Grammy winner, who officially changed his name to Ye, “arrived unannounced and without invitation,” the business stated.
“Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorised filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation,” according to a company statement.
Skechers said in a statement: “We condemn West’s recent divisive remarks and do not condone antisemitism or any other type of hate speech. Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West.
The rapper’s Instagram account, which had been disabled because of anti-Semitic remarks, started posting again Tuesday night. When Ye may continue creating clothing and new shoe designs was specified in a fresh message that displayed a screen grab of a text message that claimed to be from a contact at a prestigious legal firm.
The message’s contents could not be independently verified, and emails submitted to Ye personnel were not promptly answered.
Ye has been making anti-Semitic remarks in interviews and on social media for weeks. Earlier this month, Ye tweeted that he would soon “go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” His tweets resulted in his ban from Instagram and Twitter.
Monday, he issued an apology for the tweet.
Adidas, a sportswear company, said on Tuesday that it was severing a collaboration with Ye that had contributed to his billionaire status and that it does not tolerate antisemitism or hate speech.
The German footwear juggernaut stated that it anticipated a loss to its net income of up to NZ$433 million (US$246 million) as a result of the decision to immediately halt manufacturing of its Yeezy products.
Ye has been supported by the corporation despite past scandals. You earlier said that one could choose to live in slavery and referred to the Covid vaccination as the “mark of the beast.”
Along with Ye, other businesses like Foot Locker, Gap, TJ Maxx, JPMorgan Chase bank, and Vogue magazine have declared their separation from Ye.
Additionally, an MRC documentary on him was cancelled.
Kanye West was expelled from the Skechers headquarters in California.
