Anti-Semitic remarks will have pushed the rapper Kanye West to the edge of the abyss.
Kanye West’s hateful comments finally got the better of most of his important contracts as another partnership, the one between the rapper and Adidas, via his Yeezy brand, just ended.

Adidas points out in a statement:
“Adidas does not condone anti-Semitism or any other type of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous (…)”
Kim Kardashian also denounced her ex-husband’s comments on Twitter.
“Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” Kim said, also highlighting her support for the Jewish community.
Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.

According to The Guardian Kanye also had his Twitter and Instagram access locked for the same reasons.
So it seems that this is finally the end of the Kanye West era as we knew it, unless there is a dramatic turnaround on his part.
Otherwise, Kanye West is officially cancelled.
