The agency dropped the rapper due to his anti-semitic comments. A completed documentary on West has been put on hold, with no plans for it to be distributed.
After discussion with our filmmakers and distribution partners, we decided not to proceed with any distribution for our recently completed documentary about Yeezus The studio executives wrote in a memo that they couldn't support any content that amplified his platform.
They say that the silence from leaders and corporations is not surprising. The fear Jews have about speaking out in their own defense is new.
Following his now- deleted interview with Drink Champs, in which he spouted off anti-semitic conspiracy theories, as well as his own faked theory on the murder of George Floyd, West has lost the support of many people. The bank JP Morgan Chase and the fashion brand Balenciaga have ended their partnership with West.
For some companies, the time to cut ties with West came after he boasted of the "White Lives Matter" shirts at an event, for others it was after he called for "death con 3 on Jewish people." Over a week after the Drink Champs interview, companies are still trying to figure out how to work with West.
Many are calling for a boycott of the Yeezy wear seller because Adidas has remained silent. West said he could say antisemitic things and Adidas wouldn't drop him. What's next?
At least one hate group performed a disgusting display of solidarity with the rapper in Los Angeles this past weekend.
