Kanye West’s public unrest continued Friday, when… Company of fashion reported that “Balenciaga has officially ended his relationship with Ye, [formerly known as Kanye West].”
The luxury fashion brand made the decision after “its controversial appearance on the podcast” Drink Champs released last week where he falsely claimed that George Floyd was not murdered but was murdered by fentanyl and made even more anti-Semitic comments,” rolling stone notes.
BoF says Kering, Balenciaga’s parent company, also had no plans for future projects involving this artist.
The rapper’s latest controversy began after he wore a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt, receiving criticism from other notable people in the fashion industry, including Tremaine Emory, creative director of Supreme – whoever Ye dug for in a separate incident, the Daily mail notes.
Separately, his recent anti-Semitic tweets got him booted from Twitter and Instagram. West soon struck a deal to buy Parler, the social media platform used by conservatives and especially supporters of former President Donald Trump as an alternative to Twitter. “In a world where conservative views are considered controversial, we need to make sure we have the right to express ourselves freely,” West said.
This is not the rapper’s only business relationship that has ended recently. According to BoF, Gap also abruptly ended its collaboration with him in September.
