Executives with athletic shoe company Skechers escorted antisemitic musician Kanye West from one of its Los Angeles buildings. Ye's fall from grace is escalating, so much so that the bigoted musician is no longer a billionaire. And the hits just keep on coming as Ye is no longer in direct contact with his soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian, and his bank of choice has cut ties with him.
Ye's world is collapsing, and he only has himself to blame after threatening to go "DEFCON 3" on Jewish people.
Kanye said, "I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can't drop me, now what?" So, they responded to his "now what" question.
Companies that have broken up with Ye include Adidas, Balenciaga, Creative Artists Agency, Cohen Clair Lans Greifer Thorpe & Rottenstreich, Foot Locker, Vogue Partnership, Gap, JPMorgan Chase, MRC, United Talent Agency, and, according to Fortune, collectors of Ye's shoes and clothes are offloading them now, and the secondary market for those items has deflated, with prices dropping 30% or more.
And now his fancy pants school, Donda Academy, named after his mother, has shuttered for the time being.
The Times reports:
Parents whose children attend Kanye West’s school in Southern California have been told it has closed with immediate effect as the controversy surrounding the rapper over his antisemitic comments continues to snowball.
In an email viewed by The Times, the principal of Donda Academy, Jason Angell, said that “at the discretion of our Founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately”.
Kanye was so smug when he said this:
Bye-bye, Kanye.
