Kanye West AXED By Major Fashion Label

Another one bites the dust!
Kanye West has been dropped by another major corporation.
Earlier this month, the Yeezy fashion designer was dropped by his financial institution, J.P. Morgan Chase, amid his anti-Semitic rants and White Lives Matter fashion statement.
However, according to reports, J.P. Morgan Chase cut Kanye off in September following his rant about the financial institution.
Kanye Continues To Tarnish Business Deals
"I went to JP Morgan but of course they won't give me no deal flow cause Jin Ulrich is on the board of both adidas and JP Morgan,” he shared in a since-deleted Instagram post.
GAP and Kanye are also no longer buddy, buddy. He severed ties with the clothing brand after they ripped off his Yeezy designs and began selling them as their own.
He was very vocal about his hatred for the GAP.
Now, a major fashion label has reached their wits’ end with the rapper.
Balenciaga Is DONE With Kanye & His Wild Remarks
Balenciaga announced they have ended their relationship with Kanye.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, Kering, the French fashion house parent company to Balenciaga released a statement regarding their involvement with the “Donda” rap star.
“Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist,” the statement read.
The statement didn’t go into any further detail about their decision, but given everything he’s been saying and doing in the press, that’s a dead ringer for their reason.
It’s pretty shocking Balenciaga is severing ties with Kanye given their long history of working and collaborating together.
Kanye & Balenciaga Have A Long Collaborative History
They recently collaborated for his Yeezy GAP Engineered by Balenciaga collection. Their products were flying off of the shelves.
He also opened Balenciaga’s Paris Fashion Week show.
Despite working closely together, it seems his recent anti-Semitic comments and lack of remorse for those comments were the straws that broke the camel’s back.
The Blast recently reported on Kanye’s INSANE interview with Piers Morgan.
Kanye and Piers went head-to-head about his recent remarks regarding Jewish people.
“Do you now regret saying, ‘Deathcon 3 on Jewish people?’ Are you sorry you said that,” Piers asks the father-of-four.
“No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not,” Kanye responds while Piers insists “you should be.”
TONIGHT: It's the interview everyone has been waiting for.

Piers said Kanye’s “Deathcon 3” comment is “as racist as anything you say you’ve been through and any pain you’ve experienced.”
“Racism is racism. You know that, I think, don’t you?” Morgan continued to press Kanye.
He shot back, “Yes, that’s why I said it. I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to get hosed down. That’s a different type of freedom fighter.”
Kanye seemed to take a step back from his defensive stance to somewhat apologize.
Talk about contradiction.
“You know, I will say I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the defcon [comment] — the confusion that I caused. I feel like I caused hurt and confusion,” he said. “And I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.”
This interview comes after Kanye’s recent News Nation interview with Chris Cuomo.
Ye Claims The "Jewish Underground Media Mafia" Are Sabotaging Him
The “Jesus Is King” rapper went on a rant about how a “Jewish underground media mafia” is ruining his career.
.@ChrisCuomo questions Ye if it's possible that antisemitic comments he's made violated social media apps' community guidelines. "I don't believe in that term… I classify as Jew also, so I actually can't be an antisemite," Ye says.

Ironically enough, in the same interview he said he doesn’t believe in the term, “antisemite,” because “I classify as a Jew also, so I actually can’t be an antisemite.”
Kanye claims Jewish media executives sabotaged his “White Lives Matter” show during Paris Fashion Week.
He also hates the fact that they call him a “rapper” and not a “billionaire.”
“When I wore that White Lives Matter t-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me,” Kanye said from the back seat of a car.
The father-of-four alleges the ‘JMM’ canceled his “store” and “SoFi stadium shows.”
.@ChrisCuomo counters Ye's antisemitc comments: "I know you are intelligent and understand that when you target people because of their faith, other people may do so the same… We don't want to tolerate that.#CUOMO pic.twitter.com/mdTem0TXau

“They have the press saying on 78 outlets that when I was arguing with Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah, they called me an abuser for arguing with people about my ex-wife and my family and when I get to see my kids and when I don't,” his rant continued. “And they just immediately disrespect me, they keep this crazy narrative going.”
To add even more insult to injury in Ye’s mind, he told Cuomo, “They never call me a billionaire. We never talk about even one right here, Hey, tycoon, billionaire, visionary, inventor. These are never used.”
