How will Kanye West be able to get out of this?
While the rapper still refuses to admit having made anti-Semitic and racist remarks, his entourage and his collaborators abandon the artist one by one.
After Balenciaga, it's Adidas' turn to drop it.
The ax fell after several days of procrastination on the part of the leaders of the group, to determine if they could still collaborate with the star.
A decision that takes effect “immediately”, as relayed by CNN, the artist having gone “against the values” of the group.
The equipment manufacturer was also in turmoil, some not hesitating to recall the links of the founder of the company with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime in the last century.
Another abandonment: his agent.
According to Deadline, CAA (Creative Artists Agency), which represented Kanye West since 2016, will no longer manage his tours.
This choice will not change much for the hip-hop star who seems more interested in giant concerts to his glory (or his Sunday services) than in traveling shows to meet his audience.
The extreme right for support
Another bad news for the one who is now called Ye.
MRC, the production company that had just finished a documentary about him, simply decided not to release the film.
The firm cited its wish not to give additional media exposure to its statements.
“We cannot support content that gives more strength to its platform,” said MRC officials Modi Wiczyk, Asif Satchu and Scott Tenley.

is also persona non grata in the pages of the American fashion bible,

Anna Wintour has announced that she will systematically refuse to talk about her work as a stylist.
Kanye West is also threatened with legal action from the family of George Floyd.
The rapper had indeed declared that the African-American had not died because of the policeman who had leaned on his neck for more than nine minutes, but of an overdose of Fentanyl.
Ye thought of offering the services of Camille Vasquez, the lawyer who had been talked about during the Depp-Heard trial, but she finally refused to take him on as a client, according to TMZ.
If his Twitter and Instagram accounts have recently been accessible again, Kanye West has not spoken there since the beginning of October.
A choice that may have something to do with his announcement of the takeover of the ultra-conservative platform Parler.
There is, in fact, only the extreme right which shows its support for Kanye West, whether it is the columnist Candace Owens… or even small neo-Nazi groups which have unfurled anti-Semitic banners supporting his remarks on the bridge of a Los Angeles freeway.
It remains to be seen how long Kanye West can continue with this kind of allies.
