The vacuum continues to be created around Kanye West, in the light of the anti-Semitic and racist comments he made.
While the public backlash and outraged reactions from other celebrities may have hurt him, losing the backing of his bank is a far more embarrassing problem for the artist who is first and foremost a businessman.
JP Morgan Chase asked him to find another financial partner.
As the BBC relays, the American bank has asked him to transfer his assets elsewhere by November 21.
The mail was sent to him on September 20, that is to say before the huge scandal of recent days.
The door
This new crisis generated by Kanye West did not happen overnight.
Before his Yeezy show, during which he presented his “White Lives Matter” t-shirt, the singer had resumed fairly intense activity on his social networks, in particular to criticize his business partners.
He had thus accused Adidas and Gap of stealing his creations and not consulting him to sell his products.
He also attacked JP Morgan Chase, whose management he did not appreciate.
The bank took him at his word and told him to leave.
A direction that Adidas should also advise him to take.
The equipment manufacturer said last week that it was reassessing its collaboration with Kanye West after the episode of the racist t-shirt and the anti-Semitic comments that followed.
