Popular rapper, Kanye West has been dropped by his talent agency. This is coming following his days-long antisemitic rant on social media, and fans have been reacting.
According to Daniel McCartney of 33&West, effective immediately, he is longer representing the rapper due to his recent hateful and harmful remarks that his company cannot stand for.
Ye’s website was also taken down from the e-commerce platform, Shopify after he tried to sell a $20 white T-shirt with a black swastika.
Daniel McCartney of 33&West wrote, “Effective immediately, I’m no longer representing Ye (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his recent hateful and harmful remarks that myself not 33&West can stand for.”
