As the fallout from Kanye West’s anti-Semitic rants continues, the rapper made an “unannounced” visit to a Skechers corporate office in LA on Wednesday and was escorted from the building.
In a statement, the footwear brand said West — also known as Ye — arrived “unannounced and without invitation” and was “engaged in unauthorized filming.” Two Skechers executives “escorted him and his party” out “after a brief conversation.”
The company further said it “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. The company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices.”
Adidas on Tuesday ended its business relationship with the star after he made repeated anti-Semitic comments and espoused disproven conspiracy theories last week. Forbes then announced that West is no longer on its glitzy list of the world’s billionaires. A chief cause for the change was Adidas cutting its ties with him.
The growing list of companies and projects which have separated from the controversial rapper now includes Adidas, Balenciaga, CAA and Gap, which Ye pulled away from himself last month.
