The fashion brand Balenciaga has terminated its collaboration with the controversial rapper Kanye West.
"Balenciaga no longer has any relationship with this artist, nor are there any plans for future projects," the fashion website "WWD" quoted the luxury group Kering, to which the Paris-based Balenciaga brand belongs.
West, who now calls himself Ye, modeled at Balenciaga's Paris show last month.
Pictures of him from the show were no longer available on the Balenciaga website on Thursday.
The rapper has been collaborating with Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia for a long time.
Earlier this year, they launched a clothing line together.
Kanye West was recently restricted in his use of well-known online networks because of posts classified as anti-Semitic.
The rapper and fashion entrepreneur also caused a stir with controversial campaigns.
For example, the 45-year-old appeared at Paris Fashion Week in early October for his brand Yeezy with a shirt with the inscription “White Lives Matter” classified as racist.
The slogan "Black Lives Matter" (the lives of black people matter) had become famous during demonstrations against racism and police violence against black people in the USA.
