CAA, the prominent Hollywood talent agency, has stopped representing Ye amid a growing call to boycott the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

[Balenciaga](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2022-10-21/balenciaga-fashion-kanye-west-antisemitism), a close fashion collaborator with Ye, has ended business relationships with the artist, who previously cut ties with J.P. [impossible for companies](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-10-10/kanye-west-twitter-instagram-locked-antisemitic-tweets-posts) to defend working with him, causing some brands such as Adidas to review their relationship with the rapper.

His recent appearances with Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, and provocations such as wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt, have proved too controversial for some firms to bear. The company said it is under review. “The silence from leaders and corporations when it comes to Kanye or antisemitism in general is dismaying but not surprising. 24, 2022An earlier version of this article said Adidas ended its relationship with Ye. What is new and sad, is the fear Jews have about speaking out in their own defense.” Other leading entertainment industry figures including Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel called on all companies that work with the musician to cut ties with him after he tweeted he wanted to go “death con 3" on Jewish people. “But we can’t support hate speech, bigotry or anti-semitism.” Emanuel’s position drew support from colleagues.

The German sportswear giant aligned with the rapper and fashion designer's Yeezy brand is fast becoming his final remaining business partner.

Gap, however, continues to feature “Yeezy” products for sale on its website and hyped the launch of a new hoodie on Friday in an email marketing push. Alexander Vindman](https://twitter.com/AVindman/status/1584595126151618562), a former White House national security official and a key figure in the first impeach of President Donald Trump, tweeted, “I’m a little shocked that [@adidas](https://twitter.com/adidas) has still made no statement denouncing hate and anti-semitism, let alone firing [@kanyewest](https://twitter.com/kanyewest)’s ass. Gap and Ye, which had plans to open stand-alone “Yeezy” stores, split in September, a division long sought by the artist and one that predated his most recent behavior. Silence and inaction are not an option.” Swartz, the Morningstar analyst, believes Adidas is sticking to this strategy but warns that it won’t work this time. This is a moment in history where the stakes are high and being open about our values, and living them, is essential. “The fact that Adidas has not made that simple point is shocking when one considers Adidas’s history as a company that once outfitted the Hitler Youth.” Over the weekend, footage resurfaced on Twitter of an interview taped in early October in which Ye gloated, “I can say antisemitic things and Adidas can’t drop me. On Monday, the talent agency CAA dropped Ye as a client, citing his antisemitic rants, while Hollywood financier and producer MRC shelved a documentary on him that already was in production. He was later [locked out of his Twitter and Instagram](https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/10/10/kanye-west-antisemitic-twitter-instagram/?itid=lk_inline_manual_14) accounts for violating their terms of use policies.

Forbes estimates that Kim Kardashian is worth $1.8 billion, and Kylie Jenner was worth $600 million in June. Adidas, which has distributed West’s Yeezy line since 2013, has not commented on his hate speech, but after West displayed “White Lives Matter” shirts at a recent fashion show, the brand said it was putting its relationship with West under review. Balenciaga said Friday it had severed ties with West and has no future plans to work with him. [More antisemitic hate seen in L.A.

As leaders of this company (a Jew, a Muslim, and a Christian), we feel duty bound to say to all of you this is a pernicious, terrible use of false logic. And to those who are afraid to use their voice, hopefully this encourages you to do so. The school is a historical bastion of liberalism and civil rights. For proof of how quickly a protest of Israel’s policies can jump to antisemitism, look no further than last week’s outrage at Wellesley College. It is brilliantly crafted, fast becoming part of mainstream thinking, and puts Jews is a terrible philosophical corner. The silence from leaders and corporations when it comes to Kanye or antisemitism in general is dismaying but not surprising. It marries very well with the first “punching up” lie that all Jews are connected by conspiracy. Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3000 years – the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain. Lies are an important part of all discrimination, and this one is no different. This song was performed acapella in the time of the Pharaohs, Babylon and Rome, went acoustic with The Spanish Inquisition and Russia’s Pale of Settlement, and Hitler took the song electric. Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Gersh’s Bob Gersh and UTA’s Jeremy Zimmer are among the most recent big names to speak out over West, who has since been dropped by fashion house Balenciaga. The latest move comes as more in Hollywood have been calling for companies to sever ties with West, who has been increasingly vocal about his views toward Jewish people.
