Kanye West has had a challenging week, indeed. After saying goodbye to his partnership with Adidas, West was escorted out of the offices of Skechers.
Kanye West escorted out of Sketches offices: Here’s what we know
As per TMZ, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, unexpectedly showed up at the Skechers corporate headquarters in Los Angeles on Wednesday, 26 October 2022. This would lead to business staff removing him from the facility.
In a news release, the company said, “Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West.”
“We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech,” they wrote, “The Company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices.”
West and others entered the facility “unannounced and without invitation,” according to the brand. Additionally, he spoke with officials for a short period of time before being asked to leave because Ye was “engaged in unauthorized filming.”
On Tuesday, 25 October 2022, Adidas announced that it had cancelled its multibillion-dollar deal with Ye due to his persistent and blatant antisemitic remarks. The musician has been launching tirades on social media, in podcasts, and in TV interviews for weeks.
Ye’s unexpected visit might indicate that he is seeking a new location for his now-orphaned Yeezy shoe company.
Before being fired by Adidas, West had argued that his contract with the company would be secure and that he could say whatever he wanted about Jews.
Ye said he would “wake up going death con 3 on Jewish people” and has had several firms refuse to deal with him due to his remarks. The famous brand Balenciaga also ended its relationship with Kanye. He only recently opened its summer 2023 show during the Paris Fashion Week. In addition to this, West has also been kicked off the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires.
However, the Heartless rapper has been at the centre of controversy recently. When debuting his Yeezy collection at Paris Fashion Week, West sparked outrage after he was spotted in a “white lives matter” shirt.
West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian posted a message condemning hate speech on social media without mentioning her ex-husband.
