A string of controversial comments made by the artist online and during public appearances led to the severing of ties between the artist and the brand. The parent company said that it no longer had a relationship with Ye. Although Ye opened the fashion house's Paris Fashion Week runway show, they began to distance themselves from the artist after he made anti-Semitic comments. Ye said George Floyd died of a drug overdose instead of excessive use of force by Minneapolis police. In a September phone interview, Ye said he was prepared to end his partnerships with Gap and Adidas. West said that no one should be held in that situation where people can steal from them. Ye needs to make the new industry. Companies stand in between me and the audience. In the past, brands have faced drama while collaborating with the rapper. There are a number of labels that have had professional relationships with Ye. His relationship with Demna, the brand's creative director, led to Ye's professional relationship with the brand. Demna was the Creative Director for Ye's "Donda" album listening event. The partnership between Ye and Gap was announced by the beginning of the year. All mentions of the artist have been removed from the site. The parent company of the French fashion house responded to a question from Women's Wear Daily about the relationship between Balenciaga and Ye. The brand said something. According to the statement,Balenciaga has no plans for future projects related to this artist. Ye's previous deal with Nike went sour and Adidas decided to partner with his new brand. The debut of the collaboration was in February of 2015. As of this year, the collaboration has produced shoes. Ye's deal with the company seems to be in jeopardy due to his recent comments. Adidas stated in a statement that it was reviewing its relationship with Ye. We decided to place the partnership under review after trying to resolve the situation privately. The company said in a statement that they will co-manage the current product during this time. The Anti-Defamation League wrote a letter to Adidas asking the company to cut ties with the artist because of his anti-Semitic statements. He said it was time for him to go it alone. It's alright." I was able to make the companies money. I got money from the companies. We came up with ideas that will change apparel forever. "I guess we're just going to have to co-parent those 350s," West said, referring to the Adidas'eezy boost 350 sneakers. The artist was going to be the first non-athletes to release a Sneaker line with Nike. Ye left his deal with Nike due to a royalties dispute. He said that Nike wouldn't pay him royalties because he wasn't a professional athlete. He said in the interview that he took the Adidas deal because he needed to help his family. The rapper and the company's competitor formed a partnership after the deal fell through. According to Complex, the Air Yeezy II is one of the most rare sneakers in the world.
