The backlash from West's rants has grown.
Multiple news outlets reported on Monday that the famed talent agency has dropped Ye.
The studio said it was shelving a completed documentary on the rapper.
The three executives said in a memo that they couldn't support any content that amplified his platform.
The memo says thatKanye is a producer. The lie that Jews are evil and want to control the world for their own gain has been around for over 3000 years.
The memo said that the silence from leaders and corporations was not surprising. The fear Jews have about speaking out in their own defense is new.
Ye posted an antisemitic message on the social networking site, saying he was going to die con 3 on Jewish people. His account was shut down because of the violation.
A group of demonstrators held signs that said "Kanye is right about the Jews" at a Los Angeles freeway overpass.
A list of companies that have severed ties with West include the following:
Pressure is growing on Adidas to do the same. The Anti-Defamation League called on Adidas to rethink their support of the Ye product line after the company said its partnership with West was under review.
After his contracts with Adidas and Gap expired, West said he would go it alone. He accused Adidas executives of stealing his ideas in a video he released in October.
At Paris Fashion Week, West wore a "White Lives Matter" shirt and entered into a deal to buy a right-wing social media platform, which he says he was moved to do after being restricted on social media. The latter platform restricted West's account after he posted a picture of a text exchange in which he said that no one can threaten or influence him.
On Monday, West's ex- wife, KimKardashian, appeared to address West's antisemitic remarks in a message of her own. I support the Jewish community's call for an end to the terrible violence and hate speech they are subjected to.
