Kanye West has left the cobbler’s office in Los Angeles, the company announced Wednesday afternoon, where the rapper and fashion mogul is still dealing with the fallout of his recent anti-Semitic statements.
He appeared without warning and was dragged out of the building by two executives. The company said in a statement.
Skechers does not think and has no intention of working with the West. We condemn his recent divisive statements and do not condone anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech. The company would like to point out once again that West appeared unannounced and was not invited to the Skechers offices.
Many companies and organizations have condemned Yi for his racist and anti-Semitic remarks. The Skechers incident comes a day after Adidas cut ties with him.
Also on Tuesday, Foot Locker and Gapsaid immediately removed products from their Ye’s Yeezy line from their stores, saying they had zero tolerance for anti-Semitism.
Forbes noted that he lost his billionaire status when Adidas severed ties with him, bringing his net worth down to $400 million from $1.5 billion with the Adidas deal.
