Balenciaga Drops Kanye West—First Company To Sever Ties With The Billionaire Amid Anti-Semantic Controversy

Rap Billionaire Kanye West is on a mission from God to speak what he feels his truths are, despite the world turning against him.

In the latest news, top level luxury fashion house Balenciaga said it would no longer work with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, as of Friday October, 21.

According to Forbes Magazine, Balenciaga is the first company to sever ties with the rapper and designer after he made a series of controversial and anti-Semitic remarks in the last few weeks.

THE FALL OUT FACTS

In a statement, parent company Kering said, “Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist,” Business of Fashion and Women’s Wear Daily reported.
West and Balenciaga collaborated on his short-lived Yeezy line with retailer Gap—West and Gap ended their partnership last month after West accused the brand of breaching its contract with him.

Balenciaga head Demna Gvasalia and West were reported to have a close relationship—West walked in Balenciaga’s Paris fashion show, and Gvasalia attended his Yeezy show—where West debut his “White Lives Matter” shirts—and West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian has been featured in many of the brand’s recent campaigns, and has frequently worn its fashions.

I’m like HOW DARE THEY! After he got everyone to wear those big, ugly azz boots.

For Kanye is very important to at the max be who you truly are and align with whatever that means.

However, when anyone with a voice that goes against the masses speaks their mind, backlash aways happens.

It will be interesting to see how this works out for Kanye.
