Kanye has been dropped from various of major brands over his anti-Semitic comments including Adidas, Balenciaga, and CAA. Sports stars Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald also dropped Donda Sports, as their agents.
While other big-name companies continue to give him the boot like Sketchers, even Goodwill is telling Kanye they’re no longer expecting his products!
On Friday, Goodwill reportedly sent a memo out to their stores, instructing employees to remove all Yeezy items. They explained how they remove brand who don’t align with their mission or values.
Goodwill went on to state that effective immediately, Yeezy products cannot be sent to eCommerce, eCommerce will not sell any Yeezy products online, stores/boutiques are to immediately remove any and all Yeezy products from store shelves. They will also have to be placed in trash bags, and outlets are to remove any Yeezy coming through the “tippers” daily.
What The Heck Happened To Ye?
It also started during his Yeezy Paris Fashion Week show on Oct. 3 after he wore a shirt emblazoned with the phrase “White Lives Matter” on its back. The phrase is one that was adopted by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. The rapper also had controversial commentator Candace Owens wearing the shirt.
Aside from that, his Drink Champs interview is what really for him in trouble. While claiming that George Floyd died from fentanyl instead of being killed by a Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on his next for 9 minutes, Kanye also made anti-semtics remarks.
Ye said he would go “death con 3” on “JEWISH PEOPLE,” an apparent reference to Defcon, the U.S. military defense readiness system.
His ex-wife Kim Kardashian who he shares four kids with made a statment denouncing hate speech. She said,
“Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” Kardashian tweeted Monday. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
Kanye has since apologized for hurting people with his words but added that he does not regret what he said.
