Ye, also known as Kanye West, allegedly came up “unannounced and uninvited” at the corporate offices of Los Angeles-based shoe company Skechers, forcing them to escort him out.
The company claimed that it has “no intention” of collaborating with the rapper and fashion designer.
It happens after Ye’s anti-Semitic rants on social media caused Adidas, a major German sportswear company, to sever connections with him.
Skechers claimed in a statement that Ye had come to its headquarters with a group and was “involved in the unauthorized recording.”
After a brief conversation, the party was removed from the building, it claimed.
Ye, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, has recently gotten into several high-profile fights with well-known companies, and several of them have severed relations.
The rapper’s revenue is probably going to take a hit from the scandals, as he dropped off the Forbes magazine list of billionaires. According to the magazine, the loss of the Adidas deal reduced his net worth from $1.5 billion (£1.3 billion) to $400 million.
Ye recently responded to the well-known Hollywood talent agent Ari Emmanuel, who had urged companies to discontinue working with Ye due to his anti-Semitic remarks, on Instagram.
Adidas said on Tuesday that it was ending its partnership with Ye in the Yeezy line, stating that it “does not allow antisemitism and any other type of hate speech.”
Adidas announced that its items will be immediately removed from the market. Following the rapper’s display of a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt design during Paris Fashion Week, the partnership was placed on hold last month.
The rapper’s Twitter account was blocked a few days later when he made anti-Semitic remarks there. Ye received a second disbarment after rejoining Twitter after being suspended and threatening to “go death con 3 on Jewish people.”
Adidas estimates that by ending the highly profitable partnership, it will suffer a net loss of £217 million in 2022.
A $ 15,000-a-year Christian school that Ye founded earlier this year reportedly temporarily closed its doors, according to reports. The principal of Donda Academy in California stated in an email obtained by The Times that the school would close for the balance of the 2022–2023 academic year “at the discretion of our founder” with immediate effect.
Both the fashion label Balenciaga and the investment bank JP Morgan have cut ties with the musician. His talent agency has also dropped him.
Gap is taking quick action to remove Yeezy Gap products from its stores and online store after terminating its partnership with Ye in September.
The MRC, a production firm for movies and television, announced on Monday that it will not be screening its recently finished documentary about the rapper.
Madame Tussauds in London took down its wax replica of Ye this week as well. It stated that the figure has “retired to our archives from the attraction level. Each profile works to win a spot at Madame Tussauds London, and we pay attention to what visitors and the general public want to see there “.
Ye defended the anti-Semitic remarks on the US podcast Drink Champs on October 15th without offering an apology.
